SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MODELING WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER SYSTEMS INCLUDING STACKED PLATE RESONATORS

A method for modeling a wireless power transfer system including stacked plate resonators is provided. The method includes generating, using a computing device, a plurality of different sets of design parameters for a wireless power transfer system including a transmit resonator and a receive resonator, each of the transmit resonator and the receive resonator including a magnetic core having a post, and a plurality of alternating dielectric layers and conductive layers stacked around the post. The method further includes selecting, using the computing device, one set of the plurality of generated sets of design parameters, generating, using the computing device, an initial population of wireless power transfer systems based on the selected set, evaluating, using the computing device, each wireless power transfer system in the initial population, and generating, using the computing device, a subsequent population of wireless power transfer systems based on the evaluating.
