Popis: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have advanced and are now employed in a variety of industries, including aerial photography, the military, and transportation. Due to its low battery life, charging it can be difficult. A good UAV solution has been thought of as wireless charging. In this research, we suggested an inductively coupled wireless power transmission system (WPT) and examined the inductive coupling’s power efficiency. A portable energy receiving device positioned on the base of the UAV and a charging station with an induction coil array were both included in the WPT. Additionally, the WPT equivalent circuit was used to examine power efficiency, and a prototype model of the battery coupled with a quadcopter for testing power efficiency was developed. The results onboard the charging circuit design contributed with polarity modulation and safety charging the battery pack, with very light components that considerably decrease the size and weight as much as possible. The charging power conversion efficiency has achieved 83.76% at the maximum.
