Abstract

Static wireless charging is becoming popular all over the world to charge the electric vehicle (EV). But an EV cannot go too far with a full charge. It will need more batteries to increase its range. Dynamic wireless charging is introduced to EVs to capitally increase their driving range and get rid of heavy batteries. Some modern EVs are getting off this situation. But with Dynamic WPT the need of plug-in charge and static WPT will be removed gradually and the total run of an EV can be limitless. If we charge an EV while it is driven, we do not need to stop or think for charging it again. Eventually, in the future the batteries can be also removed from EVs by applying this method in everywhere. Wireless charging needs two kinds of coils named the transmitter coil and the receiver coil. The receiver coil will collect power from the transmitter coil while going over it in the means of mutual induction. But the variation of distance between two adjacent coils affects the wireless power transfer (WPT). To see the variation in WPT, a system of two Archimedean coils of copper is designed and simulated for vertical and horizontal misalignment in Ansys Maxwell simulation software. The transfer power for 150 mm air gap is 3.74 kW and transfer efficiency are gained up to 92.4%. The charging time is around 1 hour and 39 minutes to fully charge its battery from 0 state for a 150mm air gap for an EV with 6.1 kW power may take. Also, a charging lane is designed for dynamic charging. Then the power transfer is calculated from mutual inductance when the EV is driven on a charging lane. From the load power, it can be calculated how further an EV can go with this extra power.

Highlights

  • Electric Vehicles have started their journey when General Motors made the world’s first electric vehicle during 1996

  • Charging System (WCS) is working on the theory of Mutual induction is a phenomenon introduced by Sir Nikola Tesla in 1887 where an induced emf is caused in the second coil known as receiver coil can create electrical energy with a given current in the first coil known as transmitter coil [3]

  • The RIPT method is used for resonating the transmitter coil frequency and receiver coil frequency

Summary

Introduction

Electric Vehicles have started their journey when General Motors made the world’s first electric vehicle during 1996. Stepping into EV is considered as to take a significant step towards protecting the environment, enhancing transportation durability and diminishing fuel dependency. With this great advantage, many automobile manufacturers have started to make immense investments to bring improvement in the technology of the electric automobile [1], [2]. [4] Paper design and S-S (series- series) WPT system with a 40 kHz to 85 kHz resonant frequency. Since wireless charging of EV is introduced, two methods are very effective for WPT. They are capacitive wireless power transfer (CWPT) and resonant inductive
