Optimal Design and Comparison of High-Frequency Resonant and Non-Resonant Rotary Transformers

Abstract: This paper concerns the optimal design and comparative analysis of resonant and non-resonant high-frequency GaN-based rotating transformers. A multi-physical design approach is employed, in which magnetic, electrical, and thermal models are coupled. The results are verified by experiments. Two different optimization objectives are considered; firstly, the efficiency of two standard core geometries is maximized for a required output power level. Secondly, a geometrical optimization is performed, such that the c… Show more

“…For the design optimization of a high-frequency transformer, there are many objectives, such as minimizing the loss and volume. Regarding the design optimization parameters, dimensions (as shown in Figure 1d) and core materials (like nanocrystalline or amorphous) can be considered [29][30][31][32]. Detailed optimization models can be referred to these works as well.…”

“…In this paper, the topologies are henceforth referred to as axial and radial topology, corresponding to the direction of power transfer. Both transformer topologies have been discussed and applied in WPT systems in various research papers for a wide range of frequencies, power levels, and applications [4,[22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

“…For a pot core rotating transformer, the different winding topologies in the rotating transformer were designed and optimized according to total core volume and power losses [17]. Furthermore, a multi-physical design method for high-frequency rotating transformers was proposed, where the PTE was optimized for different core geometries [18]. The design of the rotary transformer is mainly based on the combination of multiple physical fields, such as electric field, magnetic field, and thermal field, which increases the complexity of system design.…”
