A Wireless Power Transfer System for Photobioreactor with Split Solenoid and Suspended Coupler
摘要
Wireless power transfer (WPT) technology is a promising and effective solution to light supply for photobioreactor. However, the misalignment tolerance is the most demanding challenge. In this article, a wireless power transfer system for photobioreactor with novel coupling structure is proposed. A split solenoid coupler and suspended structure are utilized in the transmitting coil and receiving coil, respectively. The number of turns as well as the spacing of the transmitting coil are optimized to obtain a stable mutual inductance when misalignment occurs. The feasibility of the proposed wireless power transmission system is verified by experiment.
