    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for wireless power transmission and reception. A wireless power transmission apparatus may include a primary coil that transmits power to a corresponding secondary coil in a wireless power reception apparatus. The wireless power transmission apparatus may configure characteristics of the wireless power transmission based on a load setting of a wireless power reception apparatus. The wireless power transmission apparatus may take into account a coupling factor and power transfer characteristics of the wireless power reception apparatus in determining a configuration of the wireless power transmission from the wireless power transmission apparatus to the wireless power reception apparatus. In some implementations, a change in wireless power transmission may occur based on a corresponding change in the load. For example, the change in wireless power transmission and the corresponding change in the load may occur in relation to a synchronization event.

    Abstract: The present application relates to a method for controlling a power system connected to a power grid, including: receiving a reactive power instruction and a measured reactive power from a generator; generating a reactive power error signal based on the difference between the reactive power instruction and the measured reactive power; receiving the reactive power error signal; generating a voltage instruction based on reactive power error signal; generating a voltage droop signal based on a reference reactance and a voltage at a point of common coupling; generating a voltage error signal according to at least one of the voltage instruction or the measured terminal voltage of the generator and the voltage droop signal; and producing a reactive current instruction for the converter power path based on the voltage error signal. The present application also discloses a control system for a power system connected to a power grid and a wind farm.

    Abstract: Power systems and circuitry for generation of gradient magnetic fields in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems are discussed herein. Embodiments may include the use of multiple gradient amplifiers that share a high-frequency power distribution unit, that may perform power distribution and power supply roles. The high-frequency power distribution unit may allow the use of a single power supply to drive multiple gradient amplifiers via a shared power bus. The gradient amplifiers may make use of modern semiconductor materials that provide high-frequency, high voltage performance, and may be implemented using single semiconductor bridges.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for a wireless power transmission apparatus to detect a fault of the wireless power reception apparatus. Various implementations relate generally to fault detection and mitigation in a wireless power system. In some aspects, a transmission (TX) controller of the wireless power transmission apparatus can detect a fault in the wireless power reception apparatus based on power transfer measurements or calculations in the wireless power transmission apparatus. The techniques may enable the wireless power transmission apparatus to detect faults such as an open circuit in the wireless power reception apparatus or a thermostat failure, among other examples. During the transmission of wireless power, the wireless power transmission apparatus may detect the fault and cease the transmission of wireless power.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for preventing power transfer in a secondary coil of a wireless power reception apparatus. Some implementations relate generally to the use of one or more switches. In some implementations, the one or more switches may be coupled in series to one or both ends of the secondary coil. The one or more switches may be controlled based on a handshake communication between the wireless power reception apparatus and a compatible wireless power transmission apparatus. The one or more switches may be controlled using bias power from a wireless communication interface that is separate from a power reception circuitry that includes the secondary coil. The one or more switches may disable power transfer in the secondary coil to protect one or more components of the wireless power reception apparatus or to enable measurement of a coupling factor during measurement periods.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for foreign object detection (FOD) in a wireless power transfer (WPT) system. Some implementations relate generally to the use of detection coils that are excited to measure and compare a differential current through a coil pair that includes at least two detection coils. A foreign object may cause a change in impedance for one or more detection coils compared to one or more other detection coils. By detecting the differential current of the coil pair, a detection apparatus may determine that a foreign object is in proximity to one of the detection coils of the coil pair. This disclosure provides several options for the design, construction, layout, and operations of detection coils to improve foreign object detection.
