    This study presents the development, simulation, and hardware implementation of a 48 V, 1 kW mid-range wireless power transfer (WPT) platform for autonomous guided vehicle (AGV) charging in industrial applications. The system uses an LCC-S compensation topology, selected for its ability to maintain a constant output voltage and deliver high efficiency even under load variations at a typical coil distance of 15 cm. It can also operate at different distances by adjusting the compensator circuit. A proportional–integral (PI) controller is implemented for current regulation, offering a practical, low-cost solution well suited to industrial embedded systems. Compared to advanced control strategies, the PI controller provides sufficient accuracy with minimal computational demand, enabling reliable operation in real-world environments. Current adjustment can be dynamically carried out in response to real-time changes and continuously monitored based on the AGV battery’s state of charge (SOC). Simulation and experimental results validate the system’s performance, achieving over 80% efficiency and demonstrating its feasibility for scalable, robust AGV charging in Industry 4.0 Manufacturing Settings.

    This study involves the characterization and synthesis of (1-x)Bi<inf>0.9</inf>Sm<inf>0.1</inf>FeO<inf>3</inf> (BSFO) in association with (x)Ni<inf>0.6</inf>Zn<inf>0.4</inf>Fe<inf>2</inf>O<inf>4</inf> (NZF) multiferroic composite ceramics, utilizing x ratios of 0.0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 1.0, achieved through the high-energy planetary ball milling technique and conventional solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction confirms the formation of perovskite in the BSFO phase and spinel cubic structure in the NZF phase, absent from any elemental residues. It also signifies the successful incorporation of Sm ions into the BFO lattice. The utilization of field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) combined with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) for microstructural analysis demonstrates densified structures resulting from reduced grain sizes with the incorporation of NZF and verifies the composition percentages in the BSFO/NZF composite ceramic. The investigation of ferroelectric materials revealed that the ceramic hysteresis loop for the conditions of x = 0.3 and x = 0.5 demonstrated the most optimal ferroelectric behavior. The dielectric constant (ε<inf>r</inf>) exhibited composition-dependent behavior, decreasing from 4895.32 to 44.64 at 1 kHz with increasing NZF content, while demonstrating consistent frequency dispersion across 1 kHz to 1 MHz. Magnetic measurements conducted via vibrating sample magnetometry revealed a substantial increase in saturation magnetization from 0.24 emu/g to 80.06 emu/g as NZF concentration increased, under a maximum applied field of 20 kOe. Enhanced magnetic properties with preserved ferroelectricity enable potential magnetoelectric device applications. This study establishes systematic composition-property relationships that offer insights for optimizing multiferroic composites in practical applications such as sensors, actuators, and data storage devices.

    This paper presents the design and calculation of wireless power transfer (WPT) integrated with the Hamiltonian Control Law. The proposed controller demonstrates greater effectiveness in terms of system stability and precise energy control, as compared to the commonly used PI controller in industrial applications. The proposed prototype has been built for assessment in both simulation and implementation, with a rated output power of 500 W and 48 V. The load-independent compensating topology, such as the LCC-S resonant tank, is used to transmit power wirelessly through an air core. Finally, in the last stage, the Hamiltonian Control Law with state observer is applied on the dc-to-dc buck mode converter to control the battery current and overall system. Apparently, the charging current can be precisely regulated to a specific value.

    An optimization design of the diode clamped multi-level converter for coaxial inductive power transfer on the low voltage DC micro-grid
    This proposed paper aims for the high efficiency contactless power transfer in household dc power distribution. A 300 W five-level diode clamped multi-level converter with 300 Vdc input dc link bus is employed for the power transferring task and the output voltage range is controlled at 48 Vdc. The inner and outer solenoid coils are used for inductive power transfer (IPT) transformer with the 200 kHz switching frequency for designed power density. Therefore, to achieve the converter efficiency above 95%, the LLC series resonant with fundamental harmonic analysis (FHA) and the calculated switching angles are used as an optimized tool for designing the system resonant tank. The validations of this approached topology are illustrated in both MATLAB/Simulink simulation and implementation.

    A Contactless Receptacle Applied to DC Power Distribution
    The modern household power distribution with dc-to-dc power transfer is presented in this paper in order to demonstrate inductive power transfer technology over air-core and ferromagnetic-core. A high-frequency switching with a five-level diode clamped multilevel converter plays an important role in generating a low-%THD voltage waveform in order to increase the power density or reduce the size of the plug and receptacle. The major setbacks of using the dc-to-dc power transfer with electric shock, galvanic isolation issue and arc discharge on the contactor have been solved by using the inductive power transfer. In addition, an LLC series resonant tank is integrated with the power converter to satisfy the Zero-Voltage Switching (ZVS) condition of all active switching devices. The proposed contactless receptacle technique is validated by using MATLAB/Simulink and a developed hardware prototype. The efficiency of the power transfer while using the magnetic material core versus the air-core type is approximately 83.8% and 92.6%, respectively.
