As an effective wireless power energy transfer method, inductive power transfer has been gaining its popularity in a lot of areas, ranging from biomedical implants, up to battery charging in huge capacity. Most researches have been focusing on controlling mechanisms of an IPT system, and make contributions in reducing the size, improving the efficiency and saving the cost. However, little investigation has been made in terms of inductive coil design, which also plays a vital role. This project will focus on coil modelling in Maxwell. With credible models built, all the related parameters could be changed in an efficient way, and the relationship with performance could also be revealed in a clear way. Moreover, field data of coils will be monitored and investigated, and this process is crucial to analyze an IPT system. This project aims to show the credibility of coil modelling, and will provide a trusted and efficient platform for designers to optimize all the parameters of inductive coils for future work.
