Abstract:
A wireless electrical charging system and a method of operating same wherein operating parameters from a remote portion of the system are wirelessly transmitted to a system controller controlling the output voltage of an alternating power supply. The system controller executes an adaptive model control algorithm that allows the system controller to update the output voltage at a greater rate than the transmission rate of the operating parameters from the remote portion of the system.

Abstract:
A wireless power receiver configured to control an electrical connection between a capture resonator of a wireless power transfer system and an electrical load, such as a battery pack or electric motor. The circuitry of the wireless power receiver is powered directly by the power output from the capture resonator, automatically powering up the wireless power receiver as soon as the capture resonator begins producing power. The wireless power receiver 16 does not require stand-by power provided by an external source, such as a vehicle battery. Since the wireless power receiver does not require power from an external source, it can initiate charging of a vehicle battery even if the state of charge of the battery in the vehicle is too low to operate the controller.

Abstract:
A wireless charging system, such as one used to charge electric vehicles, includes a number of charging stations. As a vehicle approaches the charging stations it transmits a signal commanding all of the charging station to transmit a magnetic station identification signal, each having a unique pulse pattern, through its source coil. The vehicle will then receive an identification signals from one particular charging station through the vehicle's capture coil and based on the unique pulse pattern of the identification signal received, transmit another signal instructing that particular charging station to begin generating a charging signal and instruct the other charging stations to stop transmitting their identification signals.
