Renewable energy sources are of immense interest as increasing their use is a potential method for climate change mitigation. Therefore, it is important to consider ways to improve the applications of renewable energies. In this thesis, the fundamentals of contactless power transformers are presented and discussed. The power transfer between a non-sinusoidal source and a non-sinusoidal load across an inductive network is a new model that can transfer different ranges of power without cables. The main advantage of this new model of transferring power is that the reluctance transformer value is included when it is applied with compensation capacitors. In this thesis, the calculation of the resonant compensated capacitors' values includes the whole value of self-inductance with its reluctance. The power transfer system is applied to the high-power wind electric energy system. Consequently, the efficiency of transferring a high level of power is improved by applying the compensation capacitors. The MATHCAD software is used for calculating the analytical equations while the power transfer system simulation is carried out by the SABER software. -- Abstract.
