EV charging

This paper presents a vehicle side wireless synchronization controller suitable for high-power inductive power transfer (IPT) systems for electric vehicle (EV) wireless charging under stationary and semi-dynamic conditions. The objective of this work is to enable improved functionality, efficiency, and power density of high-power IPT systems under misaligned conditions. An existing 50 kW LCL-LCL tuned IPT system with dual active bridges (DAB) demonstrates the controller’s performance.

This paper proposes methods of predicting and preventing thermal failure within high-power ferrite structures of electric vehicle (EV) wireless charging inductive power transfer (IPT) by improving their ferrite layouts. A high-power IPT magnetic design suitable for wirelessly charging an EV at 50 kW using a heuristic approach is presented where the chosen design achieves reduced heating within the magnetic structure. Recommendations are made that both avoid ferrite fracturing due to magnetic hotspots and cause temperature differentials across&nbs
