Design and Optimization of Wireless Power Transfer Systems for Enhanced Industrial Automation
摘要
This research paper is also aimed at presenting the Weather Protection Enclosure design and optimization for the requirements of industrial automation applications. WPT technology does not suffer from most limitations that are associated with wired connections, which makes the technology convenient for the use in industries as it gives way to such attributes as; flexibility, low maintenance and safety. However, the loss complaints of power transmission efficiency of power to distant objects, intended or unintended alteration in the coil position, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and so on are some of the challenges that complicate the use of WPT systems in complex industrial application. Stochastic modelling and simulations as well theoretical formulation are employed in the proposed work with the experimental models used to improve the performance of the WPT systems. Some of the presented optimisation methods are resonant frequency optimisation, impedance regulation, and other ways of control optimisation. These methods were discovered to enhance the power transfer efficiency by a big margin based on the distance and orientation of the coils and the methods reduced EMI to other electronics devices to a minimum. This paper also acknowledges that even though there has been advancement in WPT technology, there are challenges in as much as the WPT system cost, the durability of WPT components when utilized in industries and issues of EMI. Looking at the future developments of the PE system that this study identifies include the use of AI and ML algorithms for the real-time control and maximation of the efficiency and robustness of the PE system and the on-going research in new materials and structures that will further the efficiency of the PE system.
