Power Factor Compensator Connecting with Diode Rectifier in Contactless Power Transfer System

Abstract

In contactless power transfer systems, to improve the power factor, a compensator is implemented in the secondary of the system. However, the conventional compensators, for example, LCL compensator, can not work efficiently when the secondary is connected with diode rectifier. This paper proposes a power factor compensator that can work even in this case. The simulation results prove the effectiveness of the proposed compensator.
