Multilevel converter topologies based high power inductive power transfer systems

Several power converter topologies have been presented for Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) systems to generate high frequency current to cite the primary side inductive coils/tracks. This paper proposed the neutral point clamped (NPC) and flying capacitor (FC) multilevel converters based IPT systems which are suitable for high power IPT applications. The modulation strategies for single phase as well as three phase converters are carried out. The simulation results are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed system.
