The potential of wireless power transfer (WPT) has attracted considerable interest for various research and commercial applications for home and industry. Two important topics including transfer efficiency and electromotive force (EMF) leakage are concerned with modern WPT systems. This work presents the defected metasurface for localized WPT to prevent the transfer efficiency degraded by tuning the resonance of only one-unit cell at the certain metasurface (MTS). Localization cavities on the metasurface can be formed in a defected metasurface, thus fields can be confined to the region around a small receiver, which enhances the transfer efficiency and reduces leakage of electromagnetic fields. To create a cavity in MTS, a defected unit cell at the receiving coils’ positions for enhancing the efficiency will be designed, aiming to confine the magnetic field. Results show that the peak efficiency of 1.9% for the case of the free space is improved to 60% when the proposed defected metasurface is applied, which corresponds to 31.2 times enhancements. Therefore, the defected MTS can control the wave propagation in two-dimensional of WPT system.

Power Transfer Efficiency

Power transfer efficiency is an important issue in wireless power transfer (WPT). In actual applications, the WPT system may be exposed to a complex electromagnetic environment. The metal which is inevitably or accidentally close to the system will impact the power transfer efficiency. Most previous research has aimed at the effect of the metallic sheet paralleled to the resonant coil. This paper focuses on the effect of the metallic plate perpendicular to the resonant coils. Firstly, based on the theoretical analysis, a simulation model is setup using COMSOL Multiphysics. The efficiencies of the double-coils magnetic resonant WPT system with the presence of the parallel and vertical aluminum plate are studied comparatively. Efficiency improvement is observed with the vertical plate while the reduction appeared with the presence of the parallel plate. The vertical metallic plate has shown a magnetic field shielding effect according to the magnetic field distribution. It can reduce the radial magnetic field and enhance the axial magnetic field. Then, the effects of the position and size of the vertical plate are studied. It is found that the transfer efficiency has a preferable improvement when the vertical aluminum plate with a larger size is placed between the resonant coils and near outer edge of the windings. Finally, the experiment is carried out to verify the effect of the vertical aluminum plate on the WPT system.

Wireless power transfer for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles has been developed to facilitate battery charging. In a wireless power transfer system, because the magnetic field leaks to the surroundings of the vehicle, it is important to evaluate the quantitative human exposure. The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection provides guidelines for human exposure assessment. In this study, we evaluate the magnetic field leakage under two parking configurations and current phase differences for two vehicles being simultaneously charged (3.7 kW at 85 kHz per vehicle). The results of the analysis show that the magnetic field leakage is lower than the reference level of the guidelines for all cases and that the leakage could be reduced by controlling the phase difference between the two wireless power transfer systems equally distributed from the single high-frequency power source for each parking configuration.

This paper deals with a wireless power transfer system where a novel structure of transmitting/receiving double DD coils is applied. This system uses two identical double D (DD) transmitter coils stacked on each other to transfer power to two stacked receiver coils. The power is transmitted simultaneously and independently through both transmitter coils to the receiving coils. The magnetic field of the first coil does not interfere with the second coil. Both transmitter and receiver coils are placed on each other and occupy the same footprint, so there is no need for increased space. This can lead to an interesting wireless power transfer system—from single load to double the load and higher power transfer density.

This paper deals with the shielding of the magnetic field generated by two planar coils of a wireless power transfer (WPT) system at the frequency of tens of kilohertz used in automotive applications. Different shielding techniques using conductive and magnetic materials are examined and discussed highlighting strong and weak points of each other. Finally, the proposed shielding configuration consisting of a combined conductive and magnetic material is applied to model an electric vehicle equipped with a WPT charging system. With this configuration, compliance with the electromagnetic field safety standards can be achieved inside (passengers) or near (pedestrian) the car.

This study deals with the optimization of a shielding structure composed by multiple active coils for mitigating the magnetic field in an automotive wireless power transfer (WPT) system at 85 kHz. Each active coil is independently powered and the most suitable excitation is obtained by an optimization procedure based on the Gradient Descent algorithm. The proposed procedure is described and applied to shield the magnetic field beside an electric vehicle (EV) equipped with SAE standard coils, during wireless charging. The obtained results show that the magnetic field in the most critical area is significantly reduced (i.e., approximately halved) with a very limited influence on the electrical performances (i.e., WPT efficiency decreases by less than 1 percentage point compared to the case without active shielding).

In the practical application of wireless power transfer (WPT), the identification of the secondary coil and the analysis of the space magnetic field of the coil will affect the matching scheme of the coil, which will further affect the performance of energy transmission. At present, the establishment of the coil space magnetic field model mainly adopts the finite element method (FEM). The accuracy of the results is limited by the computer performance and the specific settings during calculation, which usually takes a long time. Additionally, it can only analyze and establish the space magnetic field of the coil with specific parameters. Especially when the coil structure and parameters change, it is difficult to quickly establish the spatial magnetic field. This paper presents a secondary side coil identification method of a wireless charging system based on the magnetic field cloud image characteristics. The image feature extraction algorithm is used to extract features of a certain height magnetic field cloud image of an unknown structure type coil obtained by FEM. Further, by matching with the characteristics of the magnetic field cloud image of the known coil, the identification of the unknown coil structure type is realized. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method is verified by an example. This algorithm is helpful to extract the characteristics of the coil space magnetic field, and can establish coil space magnetic field models with different structure types and different coil parameters combined with deep learning to guide the matching scheme of the primary and secondary coils, and realize efficient energy transmission.

An active coil system is proposed to shield the magnetic field produced by a dynamic wireless power transfer (WPT) system used to power electric vehicles (EVs) in motion. The considered dynamic WPT is based on an electrified road with many short-track pads. A sophisticated mathematical procedure is developed to optimize the design of the active coils configuration and their excitation. By the proposed approach, the resulting magnetic field is compliant with the reference levels (RLs) of the ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) 2010 Guidelines inside the cabin of EVs and on the side of the electrified road.
