Abstract
This paper describes a operating characteristics of contactless power transfer (CPT) system from normal conducting coil to HTS coil based on the electromagnet resonance coupling. The basic principle is that two separate coils with same resonance frequency are possible to form a resonant system based on high frequency magnetic coupling and exchange energy in a high efficiency. The CPT technique with the electromagnetic resonance coupling has been expected as a useful option for contactless charge and storage devices. Since the CPT technology using normal conducting coils is sensitive to tune impedance matching, the transfer power efficiency is limited. From this reason, we proposed the combination CPT technology with superconducting receiver coils, it is called as, superconducting contactless power transfer (SUCPT). The SUCPT system can reduce joint loss of superconducting connection and increase the portability of the superconducting system. In this study, as a fundamental step, the optimal power transfer conditions needed to generate inductive power transfer between normal conducting coils and superconducting coil were experimentally examined. The power transfer profile for coupled resonance coils with high frequency power was investigated in order to minimize operating power.
