Abstract
The wireless power transfer (WPT) characteristics between the transmitter and receiver coils according to the existence of ferrite were analyzed in this study to improve the transmission distance of superconductor resonance coils. To set the optimal reflection coefficient, the thickness increased by 1 mm, from 0 to 10 mm. It was found that the transfer efficiency improved with the lowest reflection coefficient at the thickness of 2 mm. The 2-mm-thick ferrite was applied to the transmitter coil, and the reflection coefficient was measured by the distance. As a result, the transfer efficiency with ferrite was highest at the distance of 2500 mm. Also, it was confirmed that the WPT characteristics were improved up to 500 mm by the application of ferrite. It is believed when the superconductive WPT system is organized using such advantageous ferrite, its transmission distance and efficiency improvement can be secured.
