A general approach to tuning of a dual secondary winding transformer for inductive power transfer

A practical method for analysis and tuning of the inductive-power-transfer (IPT) systems with dual secondary windings is presented. The frequency-domain analysis of the complete system in steady-state operation provides flexibility of any combination of secondary side compensation schemes. The proposed method facilitates understanding of IPT systems through a systematic approach to design and tuning of a practical power transfer solution.
