Inductive Power Transfer (IPT)
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 ferrite tiles, and regarding airgap distribution

These data were taken from three oscilloscopes (Tektronix TPS 2014B, 2024B and MDO4104C) connected to an inductive power transfer system utilizing the three-phase to single-phase midpoint matrix converter with a free-wheeling switch. They were taken under various transient and steady-state conditions. The 4 attached ZIP files contain 21 CSV files in total, with its own README.txt describing the data and oscilloscope channel configurations. Additionally, each ZIP file is supplied with a MATLAB m-file script to plot the data.

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.
