Efficiency Optimal of Inductive Power Transfer System using the Genetic Algorithms

The Inductive power transfer (IPT) systems' efficiency is determined by kinds of parameters. Aim at maximum the power transfer efficiency for Inductive power transfer (IPT) system, the efficiency of four basic topology IPT systems is analyzed. Based on the analysis, genetic algorithms (GA) are used to optimize IPT systems parameters to achieve the maximum of the power transfer efficiency. Before the GA optimization process, the IPT systems are compensated in a resonance condition which can achieve to minimize VA rating of the power supply and maximum power transfer. In the process of GA optimization, to ensure the final solutions achieving bifurcation-free operation, the solutions that generate bifurcation phenomenon (multi zero phase angle frequency) are excluded. The simulation results verify that the GA can find the best optimal solutions for all topology IPT systems.
