Integration of Rooftop Solar PV Generation with Wireless Power Transfer

This paper investigates the effect of integration of solar PV generation with wireless power transfer (WPT) on DC loads with varying PV input parameters. The power converter of the system is designed to operate at around 85 kHz, and two operating conditions of solar irradiance are considered. The first case is an ideal solar PV array with standard solar irradiance and cell temperature; and the second scenario considers the change in the irradiance for the PV array. This study is conducted based on PLECS software simulation. The results show that solar PV can be integrated as a renewable source via a WPT interface for stand-alone and grid-connected applications although the system needs to be optimised according to practical requirements.
