Coils’ Current Distortion Due to Variable Series Compensation Capacitance in EV Wireless Charging for a Constant Optimum Load

When considering EV wireless charging that uses inductive power transfer with magnetic resonance, the coils’ current distortion must be minimized to guarantee compliance with the electromagnetic compatibility limits on the radiated magnetic field set by the relevant industrial standards. This paper analyzes the current distortion caused by...

Interoperability of the Voltage/Current Doubler Converter Employing Bipolar Pads with the SAE J2954 VA WPT2/Z2 for EV Wireless Charging

This paper investigates the interoperability of the proposed voltage/current doubler (V/I-D) converter used for wireless charging of electric vehicles (EVs), which achieves high efficiency when charging both 400V and 800V batteries at the same power. Nominally, the V/I-D converter employs bipolar pads (BPP) at both the primary and the secondary...

Continuous Reduced-Order Dynamic Model Based on Energy Balancing for Inductive Power Transfer Systems

Resonant circuits are commonly used in inductive power transfer (IPT) systems for the charging of electric vehicles because of the high power efficiency. Transient behaviors of the resonant circuits, which play a significant role in the design and analysis of IPT systems, are cumbersome to model analytically because of the high-order. This...
