The authors have proposed a new capacitive power transfer (CPT) system using one-pulse switching active capacitor (OPSAC). The proposed system improves transfer power without LC resonance so that it is robust against parameter change. The one of advantages of OPSAC is easy realization of cascade connection in order to enhance transfer power. In the past, CPT system with five-stage OPSAC was successfully realized, but the actual transfer power was smaller than theoretical power. In this paper, loss factor is analyzed using precise calculation model. In addition, from the results of loss analysis, it was clarified that the one of the main loss factor is diodes of rectifier so that the system using synchronous rectifier is also proposed for power improvement.Index Terms-wireless power transfer, capacitive coupling, capacitive power transfer, active capacitor
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
