Description
Summary:This project aimed to explore the feasibility and advantages of using superconducting materials in wireless power transfer (WPT) systems. Superconductivity, which allows materials to conduct electricity with zero resistance, offers potential for higher efficiency and long-distance power transmission in WPT systems. The study involved simulating WPT systems with superconducting coils operating at frequencies from 20 kHz to 20 MHz, examining the impact of temperature variations (77K to 298K) on their performance, and comparing these to traditional Litz wire-based coils. Key objectives included Bode Analyzer simulations, capacitor circuit design, and liquid nitrogen (LN2) experiments to test the performance under different conditions.
