Abstract (EN): The use of high efficiency resonant coupling wireless power systems for subsea operations is here considered for the charging of autonomous underwater vehicles. In this paper, two architectures based on two different inductors are analysed for their potential as resonant wireless power couplers. Both systems were designed and optimised through electromagnetic 3D simulations, upon which two prototypes were constructed and measured. Efficiencies as high as 75% for distances up to 5 cm were achieved on experimental testing.
