Abstract: A first power supply unit rectifies, to first DC power, external AC power that is wirelessly received by a power receiving coil using magnetic coupling. The first power supply unit supplies the converted first DC power to one or more loads as main power. A second power supply unit is connected to an input stage of the first power supply unit, and outputs second DC power used for control of the first power supply unit. This makes it possible to stably ensure the second DC power used for control of the first power supply unit even if the one or more loads are configured to receive power from the first power supply unit.

Abstract: A power output circuit includes a plurality of circuit blocks that are provided in power wirings to which power is inputted and connected to each other side by side. Each of the plurality of circuit blocks includes at least a filter in a last post-stage. Each of the plurality of filters includes a reactor and a capacitor connected to the reactor at a node differing from an output node. Either of the reactor and the capacitor provided in each of the plurality of filters is connected to the power wirings in series so as to connect with the output node. A connection line between the reactor and the capacitor in one filter is connected to a connection line between the reactor and the capacitor in the remaining other filter.

Abstract: A dynamic wireless power transfer system performs, through a plurality of primary coils installed along a traveling direction of a road and a secondary coil mounted in a vehicle, power transfer to the vehicle while the vehicle is traveling. The secondary coil is an M-phase coil including M coils, M denoting an integer which is two or higher. The M coils each include a coil end extending along a front-rear direction of the vehicle and a main coil portion extending along a width direction of the vehicle, the M coils each being configured such that a magnetic resistance of a magnetic path where a magnetic flux of the coil end passes is higher than a magnetic resistance of a magnetic path where a magnetic flux of the main coil portion passes.

Abstract: A power supply system includes: a power transmission circuit provided on the ground side; a high frequency generation circuit that supplies high-frequency electric power to the power transmission circuit; a measurement unit that measures a physical quantity corresponding to the degree of coupling between the power transmission circuit and a power reception circuit provided in a vehicle; and a control unit. When the degree of coupling is determined, based on the measured physical quantity, to be lower than a predetermined degree, the control unit sets the impedance of the power transmission circuit to a first impedance and thereby sets the power transmission circuit to a non-resonant state. In contrast, when the degree of coupling is determined to be not lower than the predetermined degree, the control unit sets the impedance of the power transmission circuit to a second impedance and thereby sets the power transmission circuit to a resonant state.
