ABSTRACT
In recent years with the rapid development of the electrical vehicle (EV) of new
energy industry, higher requirements are put forward for convenience, safety and
inductive coupling. Inductive coupling can be done in both stationary and dynamic
being transferred with low energy loss and fewer demands on the primary circuit.
Sufficient power for the battery can be transferred by the primary to the secondary
coupled to the secondary circuit through the air core transformer. In case of shuttle
bus services, buses can be charged when it waits at bus station. It can also be
implemented in rental taxi parking. Thus the battery in electric buses only needs
enough charge to go to the next stop. This decreases the battery size and promotes
routes and planned stops reducing down the time of charging. The dynamic charging
will promote the use of electric vehicles and reduce petroleum fuel consumption.
Delays in traffic signals can now be provided with longer periods of charging and
even when the electric vehicle is in movement. Bad weather conditions like rain and

INTRODUCTION
1.0 Introduction
The ongoing climatic conditions have led to the research and development of
electric vehicles over the past decade. The increasing global warming has caused
awareness among the people to switch to electric vehicles. The time required to
wait at charging stations while the battery is being charged will be reduced by a
considerable amount of time when the charging will be done on road while driving
the vehicle. Even though electric vehicles are an alternative, there needs to be
development in its charging system to make it the prime option for transport. For
systems are more reliable, user friendly and time efficient. Also, the battery size
can be reduced, and the range can be improved. This charging system can also be

vehicle. Even though wired charging is popular, problems with messy wires and
safety concerns in wet environment are major drawbacks of this system. These
problems can be overcome by charging the battery of the vehicle without wires and
Wireless charging has been attracting more attention because of their advantages
compared to the wired counterpart such as no exposed wires, ease of charging, and
Generally, two types of battery chargers are used: off-board and on-board battery
chargers with unidirectional and bi-directional power flow. Most of the battery
chargers take a power from the utility grid, for this reason they often termed as
issues and battery degradation. On the other hand, some battery chargers work in
both directions and these are called bidirectional battery chargers. These chargers
can be used to charge from the utility outlet at the workplace or household plug or
shopping malls during the day time. Off- board charging is like a gas station used
for conventional vehicles and thus its purpose is to charge fast. Compared to off-
Nowadays, the concept of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) has gained interest due to its
ability of to supply stored energy to the grid. It absorbs energy from the grid to
charge the battery during peak electricity production and delivers to grid when there

is a peak electrical demand. EVs with BBCs are able to implement V2G concept as
bidirectional power flow capabilities of their battery chargers. So, BBCs can work
in two operating modes, namely “recharge” mode when they absorb energy and
applications. It consists of two main stages, namely the transmitter and the receiver,
each of them having a coil coupled to the other one with an air gap between them.
By Faraday’s law of magnetic induction energy will transfer from the transmitter to
receiver. Misalignment of coils, long charging times and degradation of the battery
are major issues. The difficulties in static wireless charging can be overcome by on-
road charging and charge the battery while in vehicle is moving which saves the

Wired type EV battery chargers have direct connection to the supply using an
extension power cord to plug from the wall outlet into the EV. It is popular, simple

The concept of medium-range wireless power transfer (WPT), achieved using near-
work of Nikola Tesla (1891) more than a century ago, the technology to enable
effective dynamic WPT for EVs is still in its nascent stage. Numerous challenges
related to performance, cost, and safety need to be overcome before the vision of

1.2 Principle of Wireless Charging
Basic principle of wireless charging is same as transformer working principle. In
wireless charging there is transmitter & receiver, 220 V 50Hz AC supply is
converted into high frequency alternating current and this high frequency AC is
supplied to transmitter coil, then it creates alternating magnetic field that cuts the
receiver coil and causes the production of AC power output in receiver coil. But the
important thing for efficient wireless charging is to maintain the resonance
frequency between transmitter and receiver. To maintain the resonant frequencies,
compensation networks are added at both sides. Then finally, this AC power at
receiver side rectified to DC and fed to the battery through Battery Management
System (BMS).
characteristic and power factor from the grid is seen unity, there are two categories
bidirectional battery chargers (BBC). In the UBC, the set of converters arranged
from grid to battery, all are not active/controlled converters (i.e., made of diode
rectifier) and they are not able to support bidirectional power flow. Therefore, these
kinds of chargers are less complex and can only fulfill the purpose of charging the
battery. The other type is bidirectional chargers which have ability to charge the
battery as well as transfer battery power to the grid in certain situations. The BBCs
have active converters with bidirectional power flow, so these are more complex but
also have more flexibility of power flow. Both UBC and BBC have circuit
arrangement with and without electric isolation between load and supply side
converters. The isolated battery chargers use a high frequency transformer that
low volume, lightweight, low cost, less noise and reduced core saturation over a line
frequency transformer.

1.3 Classification Wireless Charging Systems
Based on the application, Wireless charging systems for Electric Vehicle are classified into
two categories: -

charging. The charging time depends on the AC supply power level, distance between the
Wireless power transfer systems (WPTSs) are systems able to supply a load with the
electric energy absorbed from the grid without requiring any wired connection between
load and grid. Due to enormous advantages compared to the wired charging, they are
The receiving energy is converted from AC to DC using the power converter and is
transferred to the battery bank. In order to avoid any safety issues, power control and
battery management systems are fitted with a wireless communication network to receive
any feedback from the primary side. The charging time depends on the source power level,
charging pad sizes, and air- gap distance between the two windings. The average distance

As the name suggests Dynamic wireless charging system is the system in which EV
is charged while it's in motion. The main concern for electric vehicle deployment is
the power and range. For improving the range of the vehicle dynamic wireless
charging will be beneficial. The DWCS is also termed as “on road charging”. If the
charging is done at proper intervals a large capacity battery is not required and this
DWCS provides a better option for the charging of electrical vehicles to improve its
9
range. The base unit will be placed below the roads on predefined routes and the car
will have the battery bank. The car will pass over the road and charging will be done
when the car is in motion. This will require a lot of investment and infrastructure
modification at the initial stages but slowly the system will help in gaining market
for electric vehicles making a better option over conventional means of transport.
Wireless power transfer is the latest technique to charge/discharge the EVs without
any physical contact between source and load. WPT transfers electrical energy
through electromagnetic.

1.4 NEAR-FIELD WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER
Building on work done for material handling applications during the 1990s (Green
and Boys 1994), the past decade has seen tremendous progress in inductive WPT
technology for stationary charging of EVs (Bosshard and Kolar 2016). Aftermarket
2018.
However, for magnetic flux guidance and shielding, inductive WPT systems require
ferrite cores, making them expensive and bulky. Also, to limit losses in the ferrites,
the operating frequencies of these systems are kept under 100 kHz, resulting in large
coils and low power transfer densities. The high cost and low power transfer density
are particularly problematic for dynamic WPT, as these systems need to have very
high power capability to deliver sufficient energy to the vehicle during its very brief
11
Fig. 5 Inductive Wireless Power Transfer (IWPT)
Capacitive WPT systems have potential advantages over the inductive systems
because of the relatively directed nature of electric fields, which reduce the need for
electromagnetic field shielding. Also, because capacitive WPT systems do not use
ferrites, they can be operated at higher frequencies, allowing them to be smaller and
less expensive. Capacitive WPT could thus make dynamic EV charging a reality.
But because of the very small capacitance between the road and vehicle plates,
effective power transfer can occur only at very high frequencies, making the design

The design of the magnetic field distribution is also a significant factor in a WPT
thousands of mill tesla from the current of thousands of amperes is generated between
the transmitter and receiver coils, even 0.1% of leakage from the main flux can be
hundreds of mille tesla, which is several times larger than the magnetic flux regulation
Therefore, it is essential to control the leakage magnetic flux for WPT applications the
shielding will be mainly added under transmitter and above the receiver is important
for the safe operation of WPT. Without shielding, following problems may occur:
1) The magnetic field may interfere with the device or other objects.
There are two basic methods for shielding against low to medium frequency magnetic
sources, which includes diversion of the magnetic flux with high- permeability
materials and the generation of opposing flux via Faraday’s law. Assuming the
external medium is free space with μ =μ0 and the shield is constructed of a
ferromagnetic material having μr >>1, the magnetic field will tend to concentrate in
the low-reluctance ferromagnetic path, and as such will be diverted from affecting the
free space region. To achieve this effect, the ferrite plate has to be thick enough;
18
otherwise, the leakage flux into free space is considerable. An alternative to the
mentioned above is the field distribution when an aluminum sheet is attached to the
ferrite plate. According to Faraday’s Law, a current circulates in the aluminum sheet

Implementation
Not having to stop for recharging will make EVs truly autonomous, and,
because the vehicles can thus remain in service for more hours, fewer vehicles
will be needed to meet passenger demand. Furthermore, EVs with in-motion

reduce their cost and accelerate adoption.
