Abstract: This paper addresses the optimization of the compensation networks of a wireless power transfer system. Optimization is performed by means of a genetic algorithm that looks for the reactances of the elements of the compensation networks that maximize the power transfer efficiency and the power transferred to the load. In addition, the algorithm selects the solutions that are less sensitive to the difference between the theoretical and actual reactances. The last part of the paper describes the prototypal setup used for the tests and supports the theoretical findings by reporting experimental results.
