Wireless Power Transfer (WPT)
Most present wireless power transfer (WPT) systems are designed for 400-V EVs and its compatibility for a higher battery pack voltage is barely studied. To adapt for different WPT charging scenarios, this paper proposes a resonant inductor integrated-transformer (RIIT) based receiver. The design guideline, power losses, and power transfer capacity of the proposed system are presented. The proposed receiver is compact, low-cost, reliable, easy-to-implement, and compatible for WPT systems with different battery pack voltages without any significant change of system parameters.

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

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.
