Because of a lack of heart donors, heart pumps are increasingly deployed. Current pumps are powered by percutaneous drivelines across the skin, which impose infection risks. Transcutaneous energy transfer (TET) can be used to transfer power across the skin without direct wire connection. However the existing TET systems have very limited operation range, which constrains the patient movements, comfort, and tissue regrowth after implantation. This research is about extending the operation range of wireless powered heart pumps. This involves investigation of the system frequency bifurcation phenomenon, development of primary side power flow controllers, secondary side synchronous rectifiers, and power flow controllers.
