Wireless Power Transfer for Moving Electric Vehicle

Abstract

This project explores the wireless transfer of power using the inductive coil. In this we aim to use magnetically coupled resonating coils located in the road and in the vehicles as the power transfer mechanism. We theoretically showed the difference of the traditional inductive power transfer system and the recently developed resonant inductive power transfer system. We have used large-scale electromagnetic simulations to examine the influence of the body of a vehicle, modeled as a metallic ground plane, on the efficiency of the resonant power transfer scheme and established a preliminary experiment set up of the wireless power transfer system.
