In-Motion Charging

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.
