Main Activities
At the Wireless Power Transfer Group, we are committed to advancing research and development in wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies, with a focus on high-efficiency power electronics, misalignment-tolerant magnetic design, and robust system-level integration. Our efforts aim to enhance performance, reliability, interoperability, and scalability by addressing key challenges in contactless energy transfer.
- High-efficiency inductive charging systems based on advanced compensation topologies and wide bandgap (WBG) switching technologies
- Misalignment-tolerant magnetic coupler design for stable power transfer in dynamic and real-world conditions
- Bidirectional Wireless charging solutions for emerging applications such as electric vehicles (static and dynamic), drones, and autonomous robotic systems
- Model-based and experimental validation of multi-kW WPT systems (e.g., 3.3 kW testbench platforms)
- Novel magnetic-assisted snubber concepts for WBG devices to reduce switching losses, suppress oscillations, and improve reliability
- Advanced sensing and protection techniques for spike detection and system-level robustness
Through these contributions, we aim to enable efficient, flexible, and intelligent next-generation wireless charging infrastructures.
