Dynamic Charging of Electric Vehicles

This paper introduces an innovative inductive power transfer (IPT) system tailored for electric vehicle (EV) charging, emphasizing dynamic IPT implementations that utilize electrified roadways with integrated couplers. To tackle the challenges of complexity and reliability associated with current systems, we propose a Push-Pull Driven Coupler Array (PPCA) architecture. This design employs only N+1 switches to independently energize N primary couplers, enabling simultaneous activation of multiple couplers while mitigating current stress on the switches.

An inductive power transfer (IPT) system is envisaged as the best solution to conveniently charge electric vehicles (EVs). While stationary IPT systems are becoming commercialized, significant research is being conducted to address the challenges related to dynamic IPT systems. Dynamic or in-motion IPT systems require a fully electrified roadway with embedded inductive couplers with accompanying circuitry. The large number of electronic components required, however, increases the system complexity, reducing the reliability and economic viability of dynamic IPT systems proposed to-date.
