“…Figure 4 shows that the optimal frequency which maximizes efficiency is f opt = 2.65 [MHz], and the error between calculation and experiment is shown on Table 2. With respect to η load , the experimental maximum value is almost same as theoretical value which is found by equation (3). On the other hand, the experimental maximum η loss is greatly different for calculation.…”

“…These days, many papers and articles have reported various WPT studies and practical products. WPT for electric vehicles is cogitated from various viewpoints, for example a design of coils [2], and incorporating solar cells [3]. Furthermore a method to drive machines is examined by actuating the rotor with piezoelectric energy via a magnetic reluctance coupling [4].…”

<pre>This paper states wireless power transfer (WPT) from an AC power supply to a micro implant device in human body. At first, an equivalent circuit of WPT which contains biomedical tissue is constructed with an AC power supply, parasitic components, load resistance, and inductances. Then a state equation which stands for the behavior of circuit is found, and the expression of efficiency is derived as the ratio of the power of power supply and load. Finally an experiment is conducted based on the theoretical calculation, and the error between experimental and calculated result is computed and examined.</pre>

“…integrated storage discussed in research area 3), will be placed close to each other so that WPT becomes an interesting option for their electrical connection in comparison to direct ''wired'' electrical connection (logical links between research areas 1 and 4). 149 The main challenges for the conventional interconnection of PV cells within a PV module are series resistance, shadowing losses, and thermomechanical stress in the solar cells. 150 The overall effect of conventional interconnection can be quantified in 2.27-2.76% relative cell-to-module efficiency losses for conventional modules.…”

“…The research indicated that the minimum cooling capacity can reach 1500 W, which can reduce the cabin temperature to 25 °C—similar to a traditional automobile air conditioner. Pan et al designed a portable solar PV cooling system for vehicles, which for the first time applied wireless power transfer (WPT) to the cooling system.…”

In summer, the high temperature inside vehicles is a problem, because cooling a vehicle parked under the scorching sun is both time and energy consuming. Herein, a portable solar‐powered cooling system (SPCS) is proposed based on a foldable‐flower mechanism and wireless power transfer (WPT) technology. The proposed system consists of three main parts: a solar foldable‐flower module (SFFM), an energy transfer module, and a temperature control module. The SFFM is a novel foldable mechanism that achieves a high space utilization through a rotating process and a folding process, like a flower opening its petals. The SFFM, equipped with photovoltaic (PV) cells, collects solar energy and converts it into electricity. The energy transfer module stores electricity from the SFFM in a supercapacitor via a WPT unit. The temperature control module achieves automatic temperature regulation using a cooling device. Experimental results show that output power reaches up to 7.571 W with a load resistor of 5 Ω, whereas the efficiency of the WPT reaches up to 73.6% with a load resistor of 15 Ω. Moreover, thermal simulation results illustrate that the proposed system achieves an average temperature reduction of 27.45 °C, making it feasible and effective to cool a hot vehicle cabin.
