Zhu, G. (author), Dong, J. (author), Bauer, P. (author)It is ideal for the wireless power transfer (WPT) systems to operate at the resonance state for better transmission performance. In practice, however, the parameters of the resonant circuits often deviate because of the capacitance drift and coil misalignment. To this end, this paper proposes a new parameter estimation method for the WPT systems...conference paper 2023
