| Summary: | Electric vehicles (EVs) have been playing an important role recently, because of rising
oil prices and environmental concerns. One way of loosely coupled inductive power
transfer system is required to charge the battery of EVs. The fundamental principles of
such systems are identical to transformers.
In these systems, transformers with single-sided windings such as circular and ETD
models, and double-sided windings such as rectangular and H-shaped models are
simulated. These four models have been developed and compared for power transfer
efficiency. Moreover, series and parallel capacitors compensation are used to make
the equivalent circuit to be an ideal transfonner. A loosely coupled inductive power
transfer system for EVs needs to have a large air gap, good to tolerance to
misalignment, high efficiency, and compact. Based on these four criteria, different
simulations of these four models have been realized to find the best one. Besides, to
improve the power transfer efficiency, the electrical circuit, from voltage with normal
frequency to stable direct voltage to high frequency voltage, has also been designed. |
