IMPLEMENTATIONOF WIRELESS POWER SYSTEM FOR ELCTRIC VEHICLE APPLICATIONS

Abstract

The goal of this study is to see if an inductive-coupled Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) System can be used for electric vehicle charging in MVDC power networks. WPT in electric vehicles (EVs) can provide a more convenient charging option than static charging in a station, which can take hours. It can also reduce the risk of electrocution from the use of physical media such as wires in EV charging. Despite the fact that inductive coupling has been used in some WPT applications, it is still inefficient for transferring high power at the kilowatt level due to weak coupling between the transmitter and receiver. Using correctly configured resonant circuits in conjunction with inductive coupling can improve coupling and make the system more efficient. The goal of this study is to construct and evaluate a 2-KW WPT circuit. A resonant circuit's optimal specification is investigated and described. The component values in the circuit are determined using theoretical calculations. The WPT system is validated in a MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.
