Abstract
Material choice for wireless coils plays a pivotal role in enhancing the efficiency of wireless power system. Traditional copper coils are associated with resistive losses, which impact overall efficiency. In contrast, superconductor-coil systems harness the intrinsic properties of superconductivity, including zero electrical resistance and minimal heat generation. These attributes present the potential to revolutionize the field of wireless power transfer. This study conducts a comprehensive comparative analysis between two distinct WPT configurations: one utilizing copper-coil setups and the other integrating superconductor-coil configurations. The investigation delves into the implications of material selection for wireless power system coils to enhance energy transfer efficiency, range capabilities, and system performance.
