A Review of Standard in Inductive Power Transfer

Abstract

Contactless charging is evolving fast in many domains as for example on the electrical vehicles (EV) domain. The principle consists of transferring energy between two systems without having any electrical connection between them. This power transfer can be realized by emitting a magnetic field and is called Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) for static application and DIPT for dynamic application. In the automotive domain, the application of contactless charging to supply power to the vehicle while driving is one of the solutions envisaged to solve the limited autonomy range of EV and reduced its cost but the system must comply with existing standards (e.g., allocated frequency range and radiated electromagnetic emissions), as summarized in this paper. We also show that we can, through this basic hypothesis, give a concrete meaning to “dark energy” and “dark matter”.
