Abstract

The development of underwater technologies demands reliable wireless power solutions to overcome the limitations of conventional wired systems. This paper presents an optimized underwater wireless power transfer (UWPT) system based on series-series (S-S) compensation topology with a novel misalignment-tolerant coil design. Through comprehensive theoretical analysis and simulation verification, the system demonstrates excellent stability and efficiency in power transmission. The proposed design features a nested tubular receiver and cage-shaped transmitter structure that perfectly conforms to the streamlined profiles of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), while effectively compensating for positioning deviations. Key findings reveal that the system maintains stable power transfer under various operating conditions, including load fluctuations and positional offsets. The optimized coil configuration achieves efficient energy transmission across different application scenarios, from precision-aligned docking stations to dynamic oceanic environments. This research provides significant insights into the design of robust UWPT systems, offering a practical solution for underwater equipment power supply. The results highlight the system’s adaptability and reliability, making it particularly suitable for challenging marine applications. Future work will focus on experimental validation to further advance this technology toward practical implementation.
