Abstract 

The project focuses on the development and evaluation of an innovative magnetic coupler designed for in-wheel wireless charging systems in electric vehicles (EVs). This technology aims to enhance the efficiency and convenience of EV charging by integrating the charging mechanism directly into the vehicle's wheels. The magnetic coupler utilizes principles of wireless power transfer (WPT) through magnetic induction and resonance, allowing for effective energy transfer even with misalignment and varying distances between the transmitter and receiver coils.

The project will involve the design of the magnetic coupler, optimization of coil configurations, and performance testing under various operational conditions. The anticipated outcome is a robust and efficient wireless charging solution that can significantly reduce charging times and improve user experience.
