Abstract:
System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to controlling wireless transfer of power to a vehicle. A method of wirelessly transferring power to a vehicle includes monitoring a power output of a plurality of receiver coils installed on the vehicle, storing power readouts for each coil of the plurality of receiver coils, selecting, based on the power readouts, a first set of receiver coils of the plurality of receiver coils, and forming a connection, via a switch network configured to deliver power to one or more electrical components of the vehicle, between the first set of receiver coils and an electrical component of the vehicle to power the electrical component.
