Wireless Power Transfer for Electric Vehicles

Abstract

This project is a development of a new approach to charging battery for electric vehicles using the inductive resonance coupling method. Inductive resonance coupling is a combination of inductive coupling and resonance frequency produced by the alternator. The aim of this project is focused on producing suitable power of the receiver coil to charge electric vehicle’s battery. This project is start through designed and simulation circuit testing, then the data are collected and analyzed. The device is develop and presented in prototype. The performance of the charging device is analyzed. The demonstration of electric car prototype can be charged wirelessly using receiver coil placed under the car and the transmitter coil on the surface on the ground. However, the prototype are not able to charge the battery of electric vehicle but power produced are able to charge any low voltage electronic device such as a smartphone and rechargeable battery.
