Analysis of salinity influence on wireless power transfer in seawater environment

Abstract

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) technology is widely used in electrical engineering field in recent years. Due to its intrinsic electrical safe characteristic, it can be used in many harsh environments such as seawater application. However, there are few researches on salinity influence in seawater application. This paper analyzes the salinity influence in seawater WPT system. The impedance model of the whole system is set up and a comparison results among different salinity are given. Experimental results verify the analysis results.
