Özet

Wireless power transfer (WPT) systems, which have been around for decades, have recently become very popular with the widespread use of electric vehicles (EVs). In this study, an inductive coupling WPT system with a series–series compensation topology was designed and implemented for use in EVs. Initially, a 3D Maxwell (ANSYS Electromagnetics Suite 18) model of the system was generated. The impact of individual parameters on the coupling coefficient was analyzed through systematic variations in each parameter’s values. As a result, a system with a higher coupling coefficient was obtained. Using this system, three distinct load cases were investigated for their efficiency in the Simplorer (ANSYS Electromagnetics Suite 18) circuit. Subsequently, a prototype of the system was constructed, and the experimental results were compared with the model’s results. This study shows that both the output power and the efficiency of the system increase as the load resistance increases. The results obtained in this study are anticipated to offer valuable insights for the enhancement of WPT system design.
