Abstract
Wireless power transfer (WPT) technology provides an effective solution to the problem of power supply for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) working continuously for a long time, and has a good application prospect. In this review, the key issues of AUV WPT technology are discussed, including the modeling of seawater eddy current loss, the design of anti-misalignment system, and the simultaneous wireless power and data transfer. Finally, the possible development trend of this technology is discussed from the above three aspects.
