Abstract:
A wireless power system includes a power source, power receiver, and components thereof. The system can also include a parasitic antenna that can improve the coupling to the power source in various modes. The antenna can have both a variable capacitor and a variable inductor, and both of those can be changed in order to change characteristics of the matching.
Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments are directed to wireless power transfer using magnetic resonance in a coupling mode region between a charging base (CB) and a remote system such as a battery electric vehicle (BEV). The wireless power transfer can occur from the CB to the remote system and from the remote system to the CB. Load adaptation and power control methods can be employed to adjust the amount of power transferred over the wireless power link, while maintaining transfer efficiency.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for wireless power transfer. In one aspect, an apparatus configured to receive wireless power from a transmitter is provided. The apparatus includes an inductor having an inductance value. The apparatus further includes a capacitor electrically connected to the inductor and having a capacitance value. The apparatus further includes an optimizing circuit configured to optimize transfer efficiency of power received wirelessly from the transmitter, provided that an amount of the power received wirelessly and provided to a load is greater than or equal to a received power threshold, or optimize the amount of the power received wirelessly from the transmitter, provided that the power transfer efficiency is greater than or equal to an efficiency threshold.
