Özet
The mission duration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is limited by their onboard energy capacity, which restricts their operational capabilities. To address this limitation, this study investigates a wireless power transfer (WPT) system based on resonant magnetic coupling. A system consisting of square transmitter and receiver coils is considered, and the operating frequency is selected as 140 kHz based on the system dimensions and the targeted power level. The system performance is also analyzed over a range of operating frequencies. The variation of mutual inductance with respect to the distance between the coils is examined. Electromagnetic field and magnetic flux distributions are obtained using the ANSYS Electromagnetics environment, and mutual inductance values are calculated through flux linkage-based simulations. These parameters are transferred to the ANSYS Circuit environment to evaluate the circuit-level performance of the system in terms of power transfer, current characteristics, and efficiency. This study presents an integrated framework that jointly evaluates electromagnetic field behavior, circuit-level responses, and frequency-dependent efficiency in UAV-oriented resonant WPT systems.
