Optimization Method of the Transcutaneous Energy Transmission System with Given Output Power

Transcutaneous energy transmission (TET) systems are designed to deliver power from an in vitro primary power source to in vivo implantable secondary over relatively large air gaps via magnetic coupling. This paper proposes an optimization method with given output power to meet different practical application. The transmission efficiency is the objective function; primary and secondary coils are design variables; constraints are based on bifurcation phenomenon and components peak over-voltage and peak withstand current. We have used MATLAB/ SIMULINK to verify the analytical results.
