Abstract of Speech |
As the world’s transport is increasingly electric and autonomous, charging needs to be everywhere and easy to use. To accelerate the adoption of wireless charging which delivers this future, we need to clearly state for customers the benefits of wireless. These benefits can vary for different use cases. We share our years of experience developing solutions with customers and explain why wireless charging will become the default form of charging in the future. |

Abstract of Speech |
With the fast development in wireless power transfer (WPT) technology, more and more needs are raised, such as high spatial freedom, long transfer distance, small occupied space and so on. High frequency power conversion technology provides a very effective means to improve the performance of WPT system. The operating frequency of WPT system gradually increases to several MHz and even tens of MHz. However, during the increment of operating frequency, many issues need to be solved such as high switching loss, high driving loss and high magnetic loss. This talk presents the overview and corresponding key technologies of high frequency wireless power transfer system. Firstly, the advanced inverter and receiver topologies are analyzed, which can achieve low switching loss with the soft-switching characteristics. Secondly, different from the square-wave driving method in low frequency situation, resonant driving method shows good efficiency performance when it is used in high frequency situations which can fully recycle the input capacitance energy. Thirdly, the air-core magnetic coupling and capacitive coupling ways show well application potential under high frequency situations. Finally, the development trend and challenges of high frequency resonant converter technology are discussed, such as high efficiency and high power density approaches, multi-band transmitter or receiver, far-field WPT system, and magnetic optimization for large space transmission in 2D and 3D conditions.

Abstract of Speech |
Wireless power transfer is an emerging multi-disciplinary and strong cross-research field with electromagnetic theory as the core. There are many methods to explain the working principle of wireless power transfer. Previous research has established a number of appellations and definitions. By analyzing the general characteristics of electromagnetic energy flow of basic electrical components, this keynote speech explains the electromagnetic energy flow model for wireless power transfer. It explores the fundamental nature of spatial magnetic field coupling and obtains the key factors and basic definition of the wireless power transfer. Finally, it describes the working mode of wireless power transfer in electromagnetic near-field area from the viewpoint of electromagnetic energy flow. Provides implications for revealing the general principles of wireless power transfer technology. |
