| description | The original system, designed as a combination structure of a linear machine and a wireless power transmission transformer, was designed to overcome the limitations of the wired power supply method used for working robots and transportation equipment in existing smart factories, and improvements in magnetic coupling and power transfer efficiency are needed. In this work, we study the efficiency improvement of a system that can supply wireless power to track-type transportation equipment. For this purpose, electromagnetic properties such as magnetic equivalent resistance, inductance, magnetic coupling rate, and core loss are analyzed using the finite element method. In addition, the results of magnetic field finite element analysis are applied in electrical equivalent circuit modeling to analyze the voltage transfer ratio and input/output characteristics of a CLLC resonant converter designed for wireless power transmission. The efficiency improvements of the proposed model are verified through a comparison of experimental and simulation results after fabricating a prototype. From the results of this study, a more optimized wireless power transmission system design based on the analysis results from an electromagnetic perspective can be realized to improve the efficiency of wireless power transmission. |
