Estimating the term…
When an impedance adjustment process of a resonant system is started, a power feeding facility outputs power for adjustment. Then, an ECU of the power feeding facility adjusts an impedance matching box provided in the power feeding facility, and when the adjustment is completed, transmits an instruction for adjustment in a vehicle to the vehicle. When the vehicle receives the adjustment instruction from the power feeding facility, the vehicle adjusts an impedance matching box provided in the vehicle. That is, in this contactless power feeding system, the impedance adjustment in the power feeding facility is performed first, and the adjustment in the vehicle is performed thereafter.
A contactless power feeding system comprising:
A vehicle capable of receiving electric power in a contactless manner from a power feeding facility, said power feeding facility including a first variable impedance device provided between a power supply device and a power transmission unit, said vehicle comprising:
A power feeding facility capable of transmitting electric power in a contactless manner to a power receiving apparatus, said power receiving apparatus including a first variable impedance device provided between a power reception unit and a load for receiving the power received by said power reception unit, said power feeding facility comprising:
A method of controlling a contactless power feeding system in which electric power is fed in a contactless manner from a power feeding facility to a power receiving apparatus,
