Abstract

It is still a delusion that the transmitter coil is able to drive multiple loads (electrical/electronic devices) in multi-receiver Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) system. Nevertheless, it is found that for a fixed design, the number of receiver load coils that can be driven with their stipulated power level is not selected randomly rather with definite number. The circuit model analysis of series-series compensated multiple-receiver WPT system is proposed in order to estimate the number of loads with respect to the transmitter coil. Both theoretical simulation and experimental studies have proven this finding, and the results obtained are important for designing an effective multiple-receiver WPT system.
