Wireless Power Transfer for Electric Vehicles: Foundations and Design Approach

Part of the book series: Power Systems ((POWSYS))

Abstract

Electric vehicles constitute an important asset in the sustainable transportation sector. Wireless technology allows for a user-friendly charge/discharge process in EVs. This technology may also prompt an autonomous operation as users’ intervention is avoided. In order to promote the use of WPT in EVs, the wireless chargers should be designed so as to meet the requirements established by conductive chargers. This chapter describes the main aspects to consider in relation to conductive charge in EVs. Based on this, the general structure of a wireless charger for EVs is presented.
