Abstract

Over the last two decades, there is significant research on many aspects of contactless power transfer technology. A preliminary review of the contactless power transfer systems revealed that among the crucial aspects is the design of the charging coil. This paper presents a state of the art literature review about the finite element analysis of contactless power transfer regarding different types of parameters. This paper discusses the finite element analysis on the enhancement of contactless power systems by using metamaterials and focuses on the effect of air on the mutual inductance, coupling coefficient and magnetic flux ratio. A brief discussion of the latest research development on the different types of coils and shape design also has been added.
