In this study comparisons of different compensation topologies are investigated for two coil
resonant wireless power transfer systems. Compensation circuits are examined individually
according to system parameters such as efficiency, equivalent impedance, frequency, load
resistance, and phase angle. This paper aims to compares the system variables in order to
address the constraints in the system applicability regarding the compensation topology
selection in Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) systems. Topology selection schemes related to
circuit parameters are given. The main motivation of this study is that it presents a suitable
topology selection scheme and flow diagram according to applications with various voltages,
currents, power and loads. Simulations performed for four main topologies under various load
conditions concludes that choosing the proper compensation topology for appropriate load is
essential. Simulation studies are carried out with the Simulink software. The results obtained
from here are validated with both Matlab calculation codes and C # calculation codes. The
analyses according to the frequency in various load conditions have shown that variation of
efficiency depends on the compensation topology of the receiver side. Moreover, in this study,
it has been revealed that the topology of the transmitter side only affects the equivalent
impedance together with the amount of power drawn from the input hence it has no effect on
the efficiency and load characteristics. Consequently in the case of working with low load resistance such as an electric vehicle or mobile phone charging, topologies with series
compensation on the receiver side can be preferred. Correlatively, topologies with parallel
compensation on the receiver side can be evaluated as suitable for high load resistance, low
current, and low power operations such as biomedical appliance charging.
