A Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) System for Series – Series Compensation topology in Electric Vehicle Battery Charging Applications

Electric vehicles (EVs) are increasingly common and attractive, as they minimize dependency on fossil fuels, increase the secure for vehicles and convenient because energy transfer does not require any cables to begin once the sender is synchronized with the receiver. There are still many challenges, however complicate the adoption of EVs, EVs have short driving range and long charging period. This method of charging is an emerging as a potential approach to address these challenges. The aim of this paper is to investigate the parameters to design and model an inductive coupling based Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) system for EVs. Transmitter coils are buried in the road in EV charging applications and recipient coils are mounted in the car. The WPT voltage and current are simulated using in MATLAB, coil design using ANSYS MAXWELL and small laboratory based experimental setup is verified. For enhancing the performance soft computing techniques is also can be considerable.
