Contactless power transfer system combined with linear electric machine

Abstract

Most of Contactless Power Transfer Systems (CPTS) have independent structure to improve power transmission efficiency. Sometimes, however, CPTS needs to be a part of moving system to reduce overall system volume. Therefore, this paper proposes a CPTS combined with a linear electric machine loading robots. A prototype CPTS has been constructed for testing and performance evaluation. This paper examines the performance of the prototype by simulation and test with AC-voltage source and PWM-voltage source.
