A convenient charging mechanism will be of great help in dispersal of Electric Vehicles more widely. The concept of Wireless transfer of electrical energy will make this possible. The feasibility of wireless power transfer for Electric Vehicles by electromagnetic resonance coupling is investigated in this paper. Using electromagnetic resonance coupling, large amount of power can be transmitted over large air gaps. The experiment is carried out on small sized antennas that can be equipped at the bottom of a vehicle. The efficiency characteristics of power transmitted wirelessly are analyzed by varying - frequency of power, gap between receiving and transmitting coils and power to be transmitted. Power transmission efficiencies at resonant frequencies are investigated. Wireless charging mechanism will make Electric Vehicles more user friendly and also reduce Carbon emissions. The feasibility of wireless power transfer with large air gaps and high efficiency by small sized antennas is proposed and analyzed in this paper.

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are considered to be one of the most sustainable forms of transportation. Unlike hybrid vehicles or gas-powered cars, EVs run solely on electric power. However, despite their many benefits, EVs are facing major challenges in the market today. The major challenge being its exorbitant costs as compare to fuel-based cars. And, range anxiety also proves to be a hurdle for EVs [6]. Thus, to answer all the aforementioned challenges, we proposed Electro-Magnetic Induction-based Roads (EMIR), a dynamic wireless recharging system. EVs would be able to slip into a special EMIR green lane, recharge their batteries a bit, and slip out. This technology will thus reduce the size of the EV battery, which is the most expensive part of the EV, by increasing its effective mileage and the life of the battery. This paper elaborates on the method of performing dynamic wireless power transfer through resonance based electromagnetic induction. A 163 cm long and a 30 cm wide transmitter coil was designed to transfer electrical energy to an oval-shaped receiver coil with 40 cm as its major axis and 30 cm as its minor axis. The EV battery is dynamically recharged by a charging infrastructure between the road and the vehicle while it is in motion with a high efficiency. The transmitter coils are essentially supposed to be embedded in the road but are placed over the road for visual purposes. The receiver coil is placed under the EV. When the EV goes over the electric road, it gets dynamically recharged. A prototypic EMIR was successfully designed to demonstrate the Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer (DWPT) for EVs.

Wireless power transfer (WPT) is required for the diffusion of Electric Vehicle (EV) because it makes possible the process of automatically charging EV. Magnetic resonance coupling is a new technology for WPT, which can transfer a large amount of energy with high efficiency in middle distance. In this paper the topology design of WPT for EV by using this technology is investigated. Through theoretical analysis we obtain expressions of optimal efficiency with different topologies based on equivalent circuits and define a condition criterion, which is related with load resistance, transmission distance, resonance frequency and coil size. According to the condition criterion we can design the appropriate topology easily to guarantee optimal transmission efficiency. Finally, simulations and experiments show that the defined condition criterion has high sensitivity and the proposed method of designing topology is effective and feasible.

This paper proposes a new capacitive coupling wireless power transfer method for charging electric vehicles. Capacitive coupling wireless power transfer can replace conventional inductive coupling wireless power transfer because it has negligible eddy-current loss, relatively low cost and weight, and good misalignment performance. However, capacitive coupling wireless power transfer has a limitation in charging electric vehicles due to too small coupling capacitance via air with a very high frequency operation. The new capacitive wireless power transfer uses glass as a dielectric layer in a vehicle. The area and dielectric permittivity of a vehicle’s glass is large; hence, a high capacity coupling capacitor can be obtained. In addition, switching losses of a power conversion circuit are reduced by quasi-LLC resonant operation with two transformers. As a result, the proposed system can transfer large power and has high efficiency. A 1.6 kW prototype was designed to verify the operation and features of the proposed system, and it has a high efficiency of 96%.

Abstract This paper presents a rollable metamaterial screen for high-efficiency wireless power transfer (WPT) system based on magnetic resonance coupling, which operates at 4.5 MHz. The rollable metamaterial screen with a fully expanded area of 750 mm × 750 mm is located in the middle between transmitter and receiver coils and focuses the magnetic field and, by such a way, significantly improves power transfer efficiency (PTE). The metamaterial screen can be rolled up, e.g. onto the ceiling when it is not used, and thus does not require any designated space for the screen saving space. A WPT system with the rollable metamaterial screen is designed, fabricated, and characterized. Improved PTE is qualitatively and quantitatively verified by light bulb experiments and vector network analyzer measurements. The PTE of the WPT system with the metamaterial screen increases from 36 to 58.52% and 10.24 to 31.36% for the distances between the transmitter and receiver coils 100 and 150 cm, respectively. The effects of lateral and angular misalignments on the PTE of the WPT system are also studied. Obtained results show that the rollable metamaterial screen improves the PTE even at the misaligned condition.
