This project is to design an automated testing system for evaluating the performance of wireless power supplies for low power consumer electronics and industrial applications. The system will enable the variations in the coupling distance, as well as the bilateral and angular misalignments between the transmitter and receiver of a wireless power supply. This would also include a mechanism to show the effect of different materials when inserted. A data logger and GUI platform will also be developed to collect and display the key input and output information.
The project involves system level proposal, interface and control circuits design, implementation, and final testing.
Undergraduate
A working system that can be used to automatically test and evaluate the performance of a wireless power supply up to 200W. The system will also be useful for collecting data needed for the development of a computer aided design platform for wireless power transfer.
Power Electronics course (ELECTENG 734) and Control Systems (ELECTENG 722) have to be taken by at least one prospective student of the project group.
