This article presents a novel system to utilize conventional motor drives for wireless power transfer (WPT) supply auxiliary systems, such as Internet-of-Things devices or sensors in rotating systems. The method is use slip ring, which reduces reliability, an extra high-frequency converter next the drive, increases cost. development of wide-bandgap gallium nitride and silicon carbide transistors has increased switching frequencies with lower losses. voltage harmonics these high can be...
This article presents a novel contactless field excitation (CFE) system based on wireless power transfer (WPT), which utilizes the existing voltage source inverter (VSI) of motor drive for electrically excited synchronous motors (EESMs). In conventional CFE systems, an extra high-frequency converter is required to excite winding. this article, it proposed utilize switching harmonics VSI exciting winding while low-frequency modulated component used motor. system, variable carrier phase-shift...
Interleaving can be employed to reduce ripples in multiphase DC-DC converters although phases are operated under asymmetric conditions such as different input voltages or loads. To allow ripple minimization conditions, phase shifts between the switch timings of have appropriately adjusted.

This article presents an approach for concurrent power transfer to wired and wireless systems using just a single inverter. The utilizes novel carrier phase-shift (CPS) method that independently controls the inverter output voltages at fundamental switching frequencies. proposed can be cost-effective solution (WPT) used in contactless slip rings (CSRs), which auxiliary loads such as sensors, radars, IoT devices. There are two separate converters conventional CSR systems: One is motor drive,...
This article presents a novel multi-transmitter (Tx)/multi-receiver (Rx) inductive power transfer (IPT) system. Compared with the conventional single-Tx/single-Rx systems, multi-Tx/multi-Rx topologies increase reliability and fault tolerance. However, unequal distribution is challenging in these systems due to coupling differences, which prevents them from operating at rated or requires overdesigned modules. study proposes addition of middle-stage resonator (MSR) that balances by separating...
