Load Adaptation of Capacitive Power Transfer System with a Four-Plate Compact Capacitive Coupler

This paper proposes an LCL-L compensated capacitive power transfer (CPT) system with a four-plate compact capacitive coupler to achieve load adaptation. The resonant frequency is designed to be unchanged whether the pick-up is removed or moved back to simplify system control. The model of the coupler and AC impedance model of CPT system are established and the parameters design method is given. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed topology and its parameters design method are verified by simulation experimental results.
