A new system that uses inductive energy transfer to transport energy from a source to a number of variable loads simultaneously is introduced in this paper. Reported is on the controller implementation, based on quantum conversion and sliding-mode control theory, for the system. For both the source and each of the loads a separate controller is present to meet operational requirements. Special in this design is that all controllers work independently and thus are blinded from each other. Result is a proof-of-principle for the energy flow control of the contactless energy transfer system in a laboratory setup.
