Wireless Power Transfer for Moving Electric Vehicle

Abstract

As the world faces depletion of resources, electric cars have emerged as a viable alternative. To address the challenge of powering electric vehicles (EVs) in everyday life WPT is being explored as a practical and reliable solution for charging EVs. In this project, we have developed a prototype WPT system that operates at 60 kHz frequency and put it into practice. Compared to plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), which require cable and plug chargers, galvanic separation of onboard electronics, and ESS packs, wireless charging offers a more convenient option for customers. The WPT system eliminates the need for cables, offers built-in electrical isolation, regulates on the grid side, and allows for dynamic on-road charging, reducing the required size of onboard ESS. Our project's primary objective is to build an antenna system suitable for vehicles that employ resonant magnetic-coupled wireless power transfer technology for electric car charging systems. The use of WPT in EVs provides a cleaner, more practical, and safer means of charging. The WPT system's primary and secondary coils form the heart of the technology, with a coupling coefficient ranging from 0.1 to 0.5. Both sides must be adjusted with resonant capacitors to transmit the rated power. The operating frequency is a critical selection factor that affects the power electronic circuit's component choices and coil size. Ultimately, our project aims to create a wireless resonant transfer system for vehicle charging that is both efficient and reliable.
