Modeling and analysis of wireless power transmission system for inspection robot

A wireless power transmission technique based robotic power management system for prolonging continuous working time of one transmission line inspection robot is introduced in this paper. Magnetic resonance coupled WPT (wireless power transmission) unit is designed and analyzed in form of electrical circuit mode theory. Impedance matching is introduced and a special matching method for four coils resonance coupled based WPT is given. The output power of WPT unit is modeled and relationship between coupled coefficient, angular frequency and amount of output power is given and energy consumption of each unit in power management system is quantified. Experiment shows that models can precisely describe the character of WPT system and it performs to be applicable for charging the inspection robot wirelessly. © 2013 IEEE.
