Summary: | Wireless power transfer (WPT) system is a practical and promising way for charging electric vehicles due to its security, convenience, and reliability. The requirement for high-power wireless charging is on the rise, but implementing such a WPT system has been a challenge because of the constraints of the power semiconductors and the installation space limitation at the bottom of the vehicle. In this paper, bipolar coils and unipolar coils are integrated into the transmitting side and the receiving side to make the magnetic coupler more compact while delivering high power. The same-side coils are naturally decoupled; therefore, there is no magnetic coupling between the same-side coils. The circuit model of the proposed WPT system using double-sided LCC compensations is presented. Finite-element analysis tool ANSYS MAXWELL is adopted to simulate and design the magnetic coupler. Finally, an experimental setup is constructed to evaluate the proposed WPT system. The proposed WPT system achieved the dc-dc efficiency at 94.07% while delivering 4.73 kW to the load with a vertical air gap of 150 mm. |
