Wireless Charging of Electrical Vehicle on Road

Abstract

Electric vehicles are seen as an alternative option in response to the depletion of resources. In order to increase the use of EVs in daily life, practical and reliable methods to charge batteries of EVs are quite important, accordingly wireless power transfer (WPT) is considered as a solution to charge batteries. In this project, a prototype system of wireless charger which has 60 kHz operation frequency is designed and implemented. Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEV) are burdened by the need for cable and plug charger, galvanic isolation of the on-board electronics, bulk and cost of this charger and the large energy storage system (ESS) packs needed. But by using Wireless Charging system‘s Wireless charging opportunity. It Provides convenience to the customer, inherent electrical isolation, regulation done on grid side and reduces on-board ESS size using dynamic on-road charging. The main objective of our project is to design and develop an antenna system suitable for vehicle using resonant magnetic coupled wireless power transfer technology to electric vehicle charging systems. Application of WPT in EVs provides a clean, convenient and safe operation. At the core of the WPT systems are primary and secondary coils. These coils construct a loosely coupled system where the coupling coefficient is between 0.1-0.5. In order to transfer the rated power, both sides have to be tuned by resonant capacitors. The operating frequency is a key selection criterion for all applications and it especially affects the dimensions of the coils and the selection of the components for the power electronic circuit. A Resonant wireless transfer system for vehicle charging technology is designed.
