Abstract:
A power transmitting device includes a power transmitting circuit that converts second DC power input from a DC power supply to AC power, a power transmitting antenna and a control circuit that receives a voltage value of the first DC power from the power receiving device. The control circuit changes a frequency of the AC power that is transmitted to the power receiving antenna, detects, from the received voltage values, a first frequency corresponding to a local minimum value of the voltage values and a second frequency corresponding to the voltage value that takes a local maximum value at a frequency higher than the first frequency, and sets the frequency of the AC power transmitted to the power receiving antenna to a frequency between the first frequency and the second frequency.

Abstract:
The AC converter converts a single-phase input AC voltage with a frequency f0 into a three-phase output AC voltage with a frequency f1 that is lower than f0. The AC converter includes a switching section with multiple switching elements and a switching control section that controls the conduction states of the respective switching elements. The switching control section supplies pulses that have been subjected to a pulse density modulation based on space vector modulation to the switching section, thereby getting the conversion into a three-phase output AC voltage done.

Abstract:
A wireless power transmission system includes: a power transmitting section that converts DC energy input from a DC energy source into AC energy of a frequency f0; a transmitting antenna; and a receiving antenna. The power transmitting section includes: a class-E oscillator circuit including a switching element and a capacitor which are connected in parallel to the DC energy source, for converting the DC energy into the AC energy; and a switching control section that inputs a control signal for controlling a conduction state of the switching element to the switching element. The switching control section switches the switching element from a non-conductive state to a conductive state when a preset time period has elapsed or when a potential difference across the switching element takes a local minimum value after the switching element is switched from the conductive state to the non-conductive state.
