The use of artificial organs completely implanted in the body of the patient requires a design of a Transcutaneous Energy Transmitters (TET) as small as possible and that meets several project requirements. In this paper an optimization method is used to minimize the volume of the TET assuring the transmission of power, load voltage and limited winding temperature at distances between coils up to 25 mm. In order to best represent the real load with regulator circuit, a load that absorbs a defined active power is used instead a fixed resistor. Moreover, the paper discusses model issues such as the evaluation of the windings temperature and the influence of the displacements between the coils in the coupling of the TET.
