Abstract

This study examines and compares several electrical models of capacitive-couplers (CC), which are a fundamental unit in capacitive power transfer (CPT) systems, responsible for the power transfer between the transmitter and the receiver. The applicability and implementation of the models under study in static and dynamic simulation analyses are presented and discussed in detail. The study further explores a series (Thevenin) model of CC, which consists of a dependent voltage source in series with a capacitor, on both receiver and transmitter sides, and shows its advantages over other models in simplifying system analysis and dynamic simulations. The model has been verified by FEA simulations and by experiments. The experimental results are in a good agreement with the theoretical analysis and the simulations.
