Abstract

Emerging technologies in an electric vehicle (EV) had greater advancement in the control, batteries and electric motors design. But safety and reliability are the major concerns when the consumer is dealing with a high voltage conductor for charging. The recurring of plugging in the switch for charging is an undeniable disadvantage. Therefore, to eliminate the human intervention in charging of a battery, wireless power transfer (WPT) will be the most effective methodology to charge the EV. This paper aims at building the prototype of 1 kW inductive WPT with high frequency supply with power converters. To design this system, standards of EV charging systems are incorporated; also, a suitable coil structure is identified for the given EV model as per the standards. The mismatch or misalignment of the receiver coil, air gap between receiver–transmitter (i.e., proximity) and compensation techniques are considered in this work. Efficient design of power electronic converter is implemented for both transmitter and receiver side. Both coil design model and the power electronic system are integrated to test the performance of proposed WPT technology.
