Improvement of Power Factor in Wireless Electric Vehicle Charging Using Inductive Power Transfer Topology

Abstract

The EV requires energy supplied to its motors to function properly. This required energy either can be transmitted by a physical wired connection or by wireless power transfer firstly to the battery using charging of the EV system and then battery discharges to supply to the vehicle. This paper deals with the wireless transfer of power using the induction method for charging battery of the vehicle using electric energy for its functioning as it is the most suitable and fast mode to charge the batteries of many vehicles altogether at charging station. The challenges recently faced by EV’s includes the movement of energy from the energy supply point to the destination i.e., EV’s without the direct interaction of battery and energy source. Many topologies have been introduced in this regard and several simulation models are built.
