The charging plate creates magnetic fluxing. The charging plate and the adjacent coil can induce current without any contact. By the new trends, wireless charging got more social attention to the outside world as an alternative method for primitive wired charging. Even though wireless charging was implemented to various electronics industries, it is still proven that wired charging is faster than the wireless. But can make the gadget hot, which may not be good for the battery efficiency. The wireless charging does not degrade the battery. A vehicle that is powered by an electric motor rather than a typical petrol or diesel engine is referred to as an electric vehicle. The electric motor is powered by rechargeable batteries. In this article, the dynamic wireless charging of electric vehicles introduces a new methodology of charging even when the vehicle is in motion. The dynamic wireless charging is proposed to allow power transfer to the electric vehicles when they are in motion. Multiple inductive pads should be buried under the roadways.

The use of wireless charging technology for Electric Vehicles (EVs) is gaining increasing significance due to its ability to charge batteries safely and conveniently without the need for physical connectors. This paper presents the design and implementation of the transmitter-side power conversion system for a wireless EV charging station. The proposed system architecture integrates a front-end Power Factor Correction (PFC) rectifier, an Interleaved Resonant DC-DC converter, and a three-level Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) inverter, providing a highly efficient and stable power transmission path for battery charging. The Interleaved Resonant DC-DC converter, designed with a Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) mechanism, minimizes switching losses and enhances overall efficiency. Its operation under Constant Current (CC) and Constant Voltage (CV) control modes ensures smooth and reliable mode transition through an auxiliary controller incorporated alongside a conventional PI controller. The inverter stage adopts a Modified Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (MSVPWM) strategy that significantly reduces Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in both voltage and current waveforms, thereby maintaining compliance with power quality standards. The complete system's performance has been evaluated through both simulation and experimental validation. MATLAB/Simulink-based analysis demonstrates stable converter dynamics with a regulated output voltage of 325 V and negligible transient disturbances during mode transitions. A 0.2 kW laboratory prototype was developed to confirm the simulation results using PIC24F16KA102 and FPGA-SPARTAN-7 controllers for power and switching signal generation, respectively. Experimental measurements indicate that the proposed Interleaved Resonant DC-DC converter achieved an efficiency of approximately 95.35% at rated load, which aligns closely with theoretical predictions. The three-level NPC inverter produced a 320 V output with voltage and current THD levels of 4.8% and 5.6%, respectively. A 2:1 air-core transformer designed for high-frequency operation (100-200 kHz) effectively transfers power to the EV receiver side. The influence of coupling coefficient and air-gap variation on transfer efficiency was systematically investigated, revealing an optimal separation distance of 10-20 mm. The overall results confirm the efficacy of the proposed design for high-efficiency wireless EV charging. Future work will concentrate on optimizing the receiver-side converters to further enhance system efficiency and dynamic performance.

For electric vehicle wireless charging (EVWC) systems, the foreign metal objects in the charging area will be heated, and it carries danger to the system because of the induced eddy current. Existing foreign object detection (FOD) methods focus on the same detection area as the transmitter. However, the foreign objects in the edge area of the transmitter may also be heated and cannot be detected. This paper proposes a method that can determine the area of FOD based on the temperature rise. Firstly, the loss model and the temperature variation of the foreign object is established. Secondly, the threshold of the flux density exposed to the foreign object is calculated according to the temperature rise. Then, the reasonable area of FOD can be determined by the threshold. Finally, an 11 kW EVWC prototype is set up. The experimental results prove that for a transmitter with an area of $650mm\times 510mm$, the foreign objects in the detection area of $726mm\times 596mm$ will be heated to the dangerous temperature so the detection area needs to be extended.

These results will be used to support discussion and recommendation in standards bodies related to the measurement of the magnetic leakage field of WEVC systems.

Wireless power transfer is a promising method to address the concerns over charging an electric vehicle. Since wireless charging stations operate without large cables or above-ground stations, they can be conveniently installed in public locations without the risk of vandalism or weather-inflicted damage, improving the lifespan of the electric vehicle charging station. In order for wireless charging stations to become widespread, possible health effects regarding exposure to the strong electromagnetic fields present during wireless power transfer must be investigated. This work examines, first, the potential human safety hazards, second, the electronic device interference, and, third, the thermal heating effects of wireless charging systems. A 3.3 kW wireless power transfer prototype was built in order to examine these effects. Changes in the wireless power transfer efficiency due to the coil misalignment were also investigated using an automated three-axis platform. Design considerations for electric vehicle wireless charging systems and safety recommendations are presented.

In magnetically coupled wireless charging systems for electric vehicles, it is common for metal objects to enter the charging system. In this case, the strong magnetic field of wireless charging causes an eddy current effect in the metal object, which generates a large amount of heat. This heat accumulation poses a risk of fire. In this paper, a novel metal object detection system designed for wireless charging of electric vehicles is proposed. The system utilizes the principle that the coil impedance and coupling coefficient change with the presence of metal objects, and a set of composite coils is designed to improve the sensitivity of detection. The detection coil and feedback coil in the composite coil are decoupled by reverse series connection. An LC oscillating circuit based on transformer feedback is used to detect metal objects, and the circuit can make good use of the parameter changes of the composite coil. Finally, an experimental platform for wireless charging metal detection in electric vehicles has been built to validate the proposed system. Through testing, it has been demonstrated that the system can detect the presence of metal objects in a timely and accurate manner.

Wireless charging for electric vehicles has been investigated in recent years. One of the critical issues of the research is to improve the weak interoperability between two popular charging pads—rectangular pad (RCP) and double-D pad (DDP). This article intends to model the interoperability under pad misalignment and improve it by adjusting the pads’ relative position. First, the variation of interoperability with pad misalignment is analyzed by the flux model. Full output power and high transmission efficiency can be achieved when the two pads are misaligned to a certain distance. Second, the optimal misalignment is obtained by flux calculation and simulation. Third, an adaptive position adjustment method for the transmitting pad based on the variable-step perturbation and observation algorithm is proposed. By searching the maximum dc input current, the optimal position of the transmitting pad can be found. Finally, in the experiment, a 3.3 kW output with 95% coil-coil efficiency is realized when the RCP and DDP interoperate at the optimal position. Compared with the scenario without position adjustment, the improvement of output power and efficiency proves that the proposal can optimize the interoperability between the RCP and DDP.

The usage of electric vehicles will contribute to a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions and rising fuel costs. To promote acceptance of electrified mobility, a variety of charging networks must be established in an approachable setting.

This paper presents the surface of the wireless charging system flow from the start until the end of the line. The discussions take the consideration from the grid side until to the battery of the EVs including the battery management system (BMS). So, the application of WEVCS also is driven into the impact on the electric power grid. Then, the author also predicts the future of WEVCS based on potential technical advancements and already in effect policies, followed by some conclusions.

This paper designs, analyzes and optimizes the electric vehicle wireless charging system and its control method. Compared with the traditional plug-in conduction charging, wireless charging is more convenient, safe, reliable and has better environmental adaptability. Inductive power transmission technology (IPT) is the main technology for wireless charging of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Based on the fundamental approximation method, the critical self inductance of the primary or secondary coil is derived in this paper. This critical value reflects the power transmission capacity and control performance of the two chargers when they are interoperable. Compared with the non integrated structure, the magnetically integrated LCC compensated wireless charging system can transmit the same power with smaller compensation inductance. Based on the voltage dependent dynamic state space model, four working modes of magnetically integrated LCC compensated wireless charging system are studied in this paper. Simulation and experimental results show that the voltage dependent equivalent circuit model can be effectively applied to the basic characteristic analysis of wireless charging system. The voltage dependent dynamic state space model is more accurate and realistic. In addition to reflecting the basic characteristics of the wireless charging system, it can also reflect the working mode of the wireless charging system.
