Abstract:
Traditional wet plug charging for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) limits its application. Inductive power transfer (IPT) is an effective solution to this problem. This paper proposes an arc-shaped magnetic coupler incorporated with solenoid coils to achieve a stable and efficient output against rotational misalignment for charging AUV. The novel magnetic coupler consists of two solenoid coils and an arc-shaped coil with a reverse winding, guaranteeing a relatively constant total mutual inductance and decoupling from each other. This magnetic coupler has the characteristics of a compact structure, an ultra-wide coupling range, and a relatively stable equivalent mutual inductance. The experimental IPT prototype can deliver 1.29 kW with a dc-dc efficiency of 93% under the fully aligned case and 1.2 kW with a dc-dc efficiency of 91% under the misaligned case. This paper proposes an arc-shaped magnetic coupler with two receivers for charging autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Stable equivalent mutual inductance is achieved through dual-channel LCC-S topology. The experimental prototype can deliver 1.29 kW with a dc-dc efficiency of 93% when fully aligned and 1.2 kW with a dc-dc efficiency of 91% when misaligned. image
