This paper focuses on non-radiative wireless power transfer implemented by means of a resonant magnetic coupling. The case of one transmitter and two receivers is considered and a rigorous analytical procedure is developed demonstrating that maximum power transfer or maximum efficiency can be achieved by appropriately selecting the load values. Both cases of coupled and uncoupled receivers are solved; closed formulas are derived for the optimal loads, which maximize either power or efficiency. It is shown that the resistances that realize maximum power transfer are always greater than the resistances that realize maximum efficiency. According to this observation, an optimal range of operation for the load resistances is also determined. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that in the case where the receivers are coupled the introduction of appropriate compensating reactances allows retrieving the same results corresponding to the uncoupled case both for powers and efficiency. Theoretical data are validated by comparisons with numerical results.

Electronic devices usually operate in a variable loading condition and the power transfer efficiency of the accompanying wireless power transfer (WPT) method should be optimizable to a variable load. In this paper, a reconfigurable WPT technique is introduced to maximize power transfer efficiency in a weakly coupled, variable load wireless power transfer application. A series-series two-coil wireless power network with resonators at a frequency of 150 kHz is presented and, under a variable loading condition, a shunt capacitor element is added to compensate for a maximum efficiency state. The series capacitance element of the secondary resonator is tuned to form a resonance at 150 kHz for maximum power transfer. All the capacitive elements for the secondary resonators are equipped with reconfigurability. Regardless of the load resistance, this proposed approach is able to achieve maximum efficiency with constant power delivery and the power present at the load is only dependent on the input voltage at a fixed operating frequency. A comprehensive circuit model, calculation and experiment is presented to show that optimized power transfer efficiency can be met. A 50 W WPT demonstration is established to verify the effectiveness of this proposed approach.
