Abstract
The rapid pace of electric vehicles (EVs) has heightened the pressure on the need to have flexible, safe, and efficient infrastructures in addition to the plug-in infrastructures. The Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) has become a promising alternative that provides automated charging, better convenience, and a possible integration into the smart highways and urban environment. The present paper provides a feasibility study of the key WPT technologies in EV charging namely, Inductive Power Transfer (IPT), Resonant Inductive Coupling (RIC), Capacitive Power Transfer (CPT) and Magneto-Dynamic Coupling (MDC). The essential parameters include transfer efficiency of power, tolerability of air-gap, sensitivity of misalignment, electromagnetic compatibility, thermal performance, cost of installation, and compatibility with highways are assessed by use of experimental tests, simulation modeling, and quantitative benchmarking. Findings have shown that Resonant Inductive Coupling is always superior over other technologies showing up to 92-94 percent efficiency, high level of misalignment, lower EMI emissions, and high appropriateness to dynamic and semi-dynamic charging applications. The research paper concludes that RIC is the most practical way forward in the implementation of effective wireless EV charging systems particularly to the urban smart transportation systems and the technological constraints and factors to consider in the implementation of such a large-scale system in the future.
