Conclusions Th pper studies effect non-ferromgnetic pltes on resonnt WPT systems, estblhes n impednce model contining pltes. Through compring model clcultion results, simultion results experimentl results, which re in ccord ech or, we verify correctness model. When non-ferromgnetic mteril exts round coils, intrinsic resonnt frequency lowered, effect cused by mteril round coil produces eddy current loss, which not conducive effective trnsmsion energy

The performnce improvement WPT systems not only complicted mth problem, but lso key problem which needs be solved urgently prcticl ppliction. Th pper only investigtes systems non-ferromgnetic pltes, but our reserch results provide certin reference vlues in irregulr system modeling, fesible solution improve system performnce in environment.
