A Comprehensive Analysis of Wireless Charging Systems for Electric Vehicles
A Comprehensive Analysis of Wireless Charging Systems for Electric Vehicles
ABSTRACT In the coming years, major transportation sectors will be electrified, in which more accessible
and easy solutions for charging Electric Vehicles (EVs) become vital. Wireless charging is considered one
of the best and easiest methods to charge EVs anywhere, even during the driving of cars. To get accurate
charging power rates while charging wirelessly, advanced mathematical models are needed to accurately
present the charging power. Such models must take into consideration all the coils parameters, shapes, the
used compensation topology, and if the system is static or dynamic. This paper presents a comprehensive
analysis of the wireless charging systems adapted for EVs by stating the most common charging topologies,
and architectures, and by concentrating on the corresponding mathematical models used to calculate the
given electrical power as a function of the EV’s situation on streets and its speed. Then, it is possible to
evaluate the EV autonomy, and an accurate approximation can be determined when EV is on a wireless
charging road. Even with the citation and comparison between the two studied models, this paper opens some
perspectives for energy transmitter tools and tries to explain how renewable energy can help the deployment
of this technology.
