Ship power-receiving structure, ship power-supplying device and ship power-supplying method
First Claim
1. A power-supplying device configured to supply electric power to a ship having a power-receiving structure,the power-receiving structure provided in a ship, comprising:
- a power-receiving coil capable of wirelessly receiving electric power from a power-supplying coil on a land-side; and
an outer wall surface-forming section forming an outer surface of side of the ship,wherein the power-receiving coil is provided on an inside of the ship from the outer wall surface-forming section, andan electromagnetic field-transmissive section formed of a material through which an electromagnetic field propagates is provided in an opposing portion to the power-receiving coil in the outer wall surface-forming section,the power-supplying device comprising;
a power-supplying coil, provided on a land-side, configured to supply electric power to the power-receiving coil through the electromagnetic field-transmissive section;
a supply power measuring section configured to measure electric power supplied to the power-supplying coil;
a receiving section configured to receive, from a ship-side, a measured value of electric power received from the power-supplying coil by the power-receiving coil;
an efficiency calculating section configured to calculate a plurality of times an average value of efficiency of electric power transmission from the power-supplying coil to the power-receiving coil based on the supplied electric power measured by the supply power measuring section and the measured value of the electric power received by the receiving section;
a moving device, provided on the land-side, configured to move the power-supplying coil; and
a control device configured to control the moving device to move the power-supplying coil based on the average value calculated by the efficiency calculating section, thereby adjusting a position of the power-supplying coil with respect to the power-receiving coil.

Abstract
A power-receiving structure is provided in a ship and includes a power-receiving coil capable of wirelessly receiving electric power from a power-supplying coil on a land-side and an outer wall surface-forming section forming an outer surface of side of the ship, and the power-receiving coil is provided on an inside of the ship from the outer wall surface-forming section, and an electromagnetic field-transmissive section formed of a material through which an electromagnetic field propagates is provided in an opposing portion to the power-receiving coil in the outer wall surface-forming section. According to the present invention, the power-receiving coil is not protruded from the outer surface of side of the ship and can wirelessly receive electric power from the power-supplying coil on the land-side through the electromagnetic field-transmissive section. Accordingly, the power-receiving coil does not disturb the navigation of the ship and is not required to be pulled into the ship after the supply of the electric power to the ship is finished.
