Abstract
As electric vehicles started to seize the market, new charging technologies was required to achieve the market needs. These technologies will make charging process more effective and autonomous in which it could prevent any human intervention. In this study, the applicability of wireless inductive charging is investigated using both finite element method numerical modeling and hardware prototyping. The impact of various design parameters, including but not limited to a number of turns, coil structure, and the substrate type, were investigated. Ferrite substrates were considered along with glass substrates. This paper will also show the best wireless charging technique that can be best suited for electric vehicles relative to specifications such as power level, distance, and efficiency. The magnetic field intensity was simulated in various conditions using Comsol Multiphysics. Alternatively, the overall power transfer efficiency was measured experimentally across ten different couples of coils. The total delivered power reached 3.2 Watts through 2.2 m.
