Distributed receiver coils for wireless power transfer system

A method of wirelessly transferring power to a vehicle, comprising:

• 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;
• 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;
• selecting a second set of receiver coils from the plurality of receiver coils, the second set being different from the first set;
• and
• forming a connection, via the switch network, between the second set of receiver coils and a second electrical component of the vehicle to power the second electrical component.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for wirelessly transferring power to a vehicle, including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• monitor a power output of a plurality of receiver coils installed on the vehicle;
• store power readouts for each coil of the plurality of receiver coils;
• select, based on the power readouts, a first set of receiver coils of the plurality of receiver coils;
• form 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;
• select a second set of receiver coils from the plurality of receiver coils, the second set being different from the first set;
• and
• form a connection, via the switch network, between the second set of receiver coils and a second electrical component of the vehicle to power the second electrical component.
