This article discusses the coupled electromagnetic-thermal simulations of inductive power transfer (IPT) pads using finite-element simulations. The derivation process of each electrical and thermal parameter required for the modeling is outlined. Simulation models are used to predict the power loss and temperature rise of an IPT pad under different ambient temperatures at steady state. Using these simulation methods, the power loss of an IPT pad operating at 50 degrees C ambient temperature is predicted. A 10-KW IPT system is set up in an environmental chamber to validate the predicted losses within the system.

Derivation of each electrical and thermal parameters required for the modeling process is outlined. Simulation models are used to predict the power loss and the temperature rise of an IPT pad at different ambient temperatures at steady state. Using these simulation methods, the power loss within an IPT pad operating at 50 degrees C ambient temperature is predicted. A 10-KW IPT system is set up within an environmental chamber to validate the predicted losses within the system.
