Abstract: Expanding the application scenarios of wireless power transfer (WPT) systems demands increasingly stringent performance requirements. As a critical interface between the power source and load, the receiver topology plays a pivotal role in determining the system’s efficiency and stability. This review focuses on advancements in power electronic receiver designs for WPT systems, with an emphasis on two-stage and single-stage topologies. This article provides an overview of the current design status of power electronic topologies at the receiver in existing WPT systems, with a focus on analyzing the design ideas, implementation methods, and performance of two-stage and single-stage receivers. The advantages and disadvantages of various receiver topologies are discussed in detail, and corresponding strategies are proposed to address the new challenges associated with the stability of existing WPT systems.
