Summary: This paper proposes a new method for calculating the mutual inductance between two arbitrarily positioned, non-identical n-sided planar spiral coils, and verifies the accuracy of the calculation results. The method is not only applicable to coils of different shapes, but also capable of handling errors such as lateral displacement and angular rotation. Experimental results show that the method has a significant advantage in terms of computational time.

Summary: This work introduces a new approach to optimizing the coupling coefficient between the transmitter and receiver coils in wireless power transmission (WPT) systems. By changing the geometries and locations of the coils, a quasi-elliptical parameter value is used to achieve geometry variations from a rhombus to a circular and then a rectangular shape. The configuration with the highest coupling coefficient is selected at the end of the optimization process. The proposed approach is validated through electromagnetic and AC analysis simulations using Ansys software, showing increased power transfer efficiency in WPT.

Summary: This paper analyzes the conceptual application of a wireless power transfer system with multiple resonators supplying outdoor sensors using a mobile charger. By using a group of identical planar coils as transmitters and receivers, connected to independent power supply circuits, energy transfer can be realized simultaneously, improving the reliability and flexibility of the weather station. The efficiency and load power of the system were compared and discussed, showing that while the solution can provide power to ultra-low-power devices, the efficiency still needs improvement.

Summary: This study proposes two topologies for planar micro-coils, non-spiral and quasi-spiral, for wireless power transfer applications. The micro-coils can be fabricated on a silicon substrate using a simple microfabrication process and distribute electrical potential and magnetic flux density uniformly. Experimental results show that the proposed micro-coils can wirelessly receive higher power compared to a commercial coil and efficiently charge a super-capacitor in a shorter period.

Summary: This study proposes a multi-transmitter coil array to establish a more uniform magnetic flux density and enhance the performance of wireless power transmission system (WPTS) in the case of coil-couple malposition. The magnetic field distributions of the proposed WPTS with different coil arrays are compared using numerical simulations. Experimental results show that WPTS with a seven-coil array can provide a more uniform magnetic field, with a relative deviation of output power less than 28.55%. This study provides clues for improving the performance of WPTS through different arrangements of transmitter coils.

Summary: In this paper, a magnetically coupled resonant wireless power transfer system based on flexible printed circuit coils on a conformal cylindrical surface is designed. The relationship between the self-inductance/mutual inductance of the flexible coil and the bending radius of the conformal cylindrical surface is explored through mathematical analysis and simulations. The results show that as the bending radius decreases, the self-inductance and mutual inductance of the coil decrease nonlinearly. The transmission efficiency also decreases, and the resonant frequency shifts to a higher range.
