Converter Topologies for Resonant Wireless Power Transfer

A comprehensive survey of power transport technologies used in wireless power transport (WPT) systems Supported by an associated website with addition content and up-to-date contents as this development subject advances The only book to detail converter and inverter technologies in connection with WPT and include case studies demonstrated its application
The book presents a unified and design-oriented treatment of converter topologies used in resonant wireless power transfer (WPT) systems. It systematically covers compensation networks, resonant inverter and rectifier topologies, and practical design methodologies used in modern WPT applications. The authors introduce the basic concepts of WPT, as well as its history. They present the compensation technologies required on the transmitter side of a WPT system, in particular, the characteristics, analysis, and design of various types of Class D and Class E resonant inverter topologies. Application examples are provided, and a discussion of future trends in WPT concludes the book. Converter Topologies for Resonant Wireless Power Transfer helps practitioners in the field find solutions to their problems in a clear and concise manner. Engineers and technology managers interested in the analysis, study, design, and development of WPT applications can also use the book as a point of reference. The characteristics and numerical examples provided for each topology also make the book an invaluable source of information for students at both an undergraduate and graduate level, as well as researchers.
