Nowadays, inductive power transfer is an established technology with its most common application in induction hobs. Such appliances usually use planar coils with homogeneous winding distances. With regard to energy efficiency, comfort and electromagnetic compatibility it is desirable to start from an optimal magnetic field distribution and derive the necessary coil geometry from it.
Unknown, highly non-linear functional relations can be modelled using neural networks with relative ease. In this contribution, we use a deep convolutional auto-encoder to predict the relationship between coil geometries and the respective magnetic fields. To achieve this, the current-path and the coil's magnetic field are presented to the neural network in spatially discretized form. By using the current-path as input and the magnetic field as output, the neural net is trained to find coil geometries, which produce a desired magnetic field. In this contribution we present our results of predicted coil designs for magnetic fields, which require coil geometries ranging from simple linear wires to more complex spiral geometries.
