Inductive Power Transfer based on Variable Compensation Capacitance to Achieve an EV Charging Profile with Constant Optimum Load

Wireless charging must be highly efficient throughout the entire battery charging profile to compete in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. Thus, optimum load matching is commonly used: it operates at the equivalent load that maximizes the efficiency, which depends on the coil's alignment. In this article, the optimum load is made independent...

Integrated Solution for Electric Vehicle and Foreign Object Detection in the Application of Dynamic Inductive Power Transfer

One of the challenges with the dynamic inductive power transfer (DIPT) technique is the electric vehicle detection (EVD) that helps the DIPT system to control the power supply of the transmitter. The EVD method applying auxiliary coils is a promising candidate because the flat shape of the auxiliary coils is suitable for the compact design....
