MatWPT

MatWPT is an innovative software to support designers during the analysis and development of Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) systems. The software, developed as a Matlab toolbox, receives the key system characteristics as inputs, such as compensation topology, operating frequency and desired output power. Then, using evolutionary optimization, provides potential design options for meeting the performance criteria defined by the designer, in terms of output power and efficiency. Unlike the solutions available in the literature, the proposed technique allows for consideration of component tolerances. In fact, the tool implements an automatic Monte Carlo analysis to estimate the probability that a specific solution will achieve the expected performance levels, given the fabrication tolerance of the components. This represents valuable information for mass production, as these systems are typically very sensitive to component variations. The application also includes Simulink models to simulate the designed circuits, providing insights on current and voltage waveforms on each component.
