    Panneer Selvam R IITM
    This document discusses inductive wireless power transfer (IWPT) as an alternative to direct electrical contact (DEC) for charging autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). IWPT offers advantages over DEC such as tolerance to misalignment, reduced costs, and potential reduction of biofouling. However, IWPT also has lower efficiency than DEC. The document aims to design a compact, high power density, and high efficiency 1 kW IWPT system for AUV applications. Key aspects of the design include using low-loss silicon carbide MOSFETs, zero-voltage switching for efficiency, and optimizing coil design and operating frequency. The goal is to develop a prototype that can transfer 1 kW of power at over
