Abstract

The wireless power transfer (WPT) system based on parity-time (PT) symmetry has the advantages of robustness, stability, and efficient power transmission. However, traditional PT symmetry structures have limited voltage power output and are susceptible to horizontal misalignment effects. Multiple transmission coils have been proven to improve the power and misalignment tolerance of WPT systems, but variations in inter-coil coupling significantly affect transmission power. Towards this end, this article proposes a double-transmitting coil WPT system based on PT symmetry, which is innovative in that a novel negative resistance structure based on operational amplifier (OA) is proposed, and the parallel structure of double-transmitting coil is applied to this negative resistance structure. Compared with the traditional WPT system based on a single-transmitting coil PT, this system improves the power and misalignment tolerance in the PT symmetry region. The large-sized and small-sized receiving coils increase the load power to 313% and 185% respectively. Moreover, in the symmetry region, the displacement of the receiving coil in the horizontal and vertical directions results in variations of the equivalent coupling coefficient, which can achieve stable power transmission in three dimensions. The voltage fluctuation rate of both receiving coils does not exceed 3.4%, greatly improving the degree of freedom of the receiving system.
