Wireless Charging for Electric Vehicles

Abstract

One potential alternative to traditional plug-based electric vehicle (EV) charging stations is wireless power transfer (WPT). Electric vehicle charging technologies that are compatible with the WPT idea include induction and magnetic coupling. The WPT system for electric vehicles is analyzed and modelled in this research. In order to charge electric vehicles, a new sophisticated WPT technology is developed and tested. This system can automatically align the transmitting and receiving coils using an IR sensor technique. In addition to saving drivers time and reducing human error in automobile WPT method, the developed system will also conserve energy and intelligently charge the car during off-peak periods. For electric vehicle owners, this means less money spent on power and more energy saved.
