Abstract

Wireless power transfer is a safe and convenient method for electric vehicle (EV) charging. And, if designed properly, it can be highly efficient. Applications cover a wide range of power transfer levels from less than a kilowatt to a few hundreds of kilowatts with transfer distances from a few millimeters to a few hundreds of millimeters. Applications also cover stationary, dynamic (in-motion), or quasi dynamic wireless charging systems. Safety is inherent in wireless power transfer systems due to the large airgap separation between the source and load sides, and users do not have to touch any cables, connectors, or plugs at all. With the recent advancements in automation, parking aid systems can be integrated and the wireless charging process can be a simple “park and go” approach without requiring any input from the driver.When applied in motion, wireless charging can be the ultimate end of game in transportation electrification, providing reduced battery size and cost with unlimited range for EVs. This approach is also known as ”charge-on-the-go” or “roadway powered vehicle” concept. While the connected and automated vehicles can self-drive and self-park, they currently cannot self-charge. Furthermore, wireless charging is a key enabling technology for the widespread development and adoptionmore »« less

Wireless Power Transfer

Multimedia

Wireless Power Transfer is an innovative approach using magnetic resonance coupling of air core transformers designed for today's growing plug-in electric vehicle market. This technology can provide a convenient, safe and flexible means to charge electric vehicles under stationary and dynamic conditions. Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEV) are burdened by the need for cable and plug charger, galvanic isolation of the on-board electronics, bulk and cost of this charger and the large energy storage system (ESS) packs needed. With a system where you have to physically plug in there are a number of occasions where the owner could very well forgetmore »« less

EV Charging Through Wireless Power Transfer: Analysis of Efficiency Optimization and Technology Trends

Conference Miller, John M ; Rakouth, Heri ; Suh, In-Soo

This paper is aimed at reviewing the technology trends for wireless power transfer (WPT) for electric vehicles (EV). It also analyzes the factors affecting its efficiency and describes the techniques currently used for its optimization. The review of the technology trends encompasses both stationary and moving vehicle charging systems. The study of the stationary vehicle charging technology is based on current implementations and on-going developments at WiTricity and Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL). The moving vehicle charging technology is primarily described through the results achieved by the Korean Advanced Institute of Technology (KAIST) along with on-going efforts at Stanford University.more »« less
Oak Ridge National Laboratory Wireless Power Transfer Development for Sustainable Campus Initiative

Conference Onar, Omer C ; Miller, John M ; Campbell, Steven L ; ...

Wireless power transfer (WPT) is a convenient, safe, and autonomous means for electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle charging that has seen rapid growth in recent years for stationary applications. WPT does not require bulky contacts, plugs, and wires, is not affected by dirt or weather conditions, and is as efficient as conventional charging systems. This study summarizes some of the recent Sustainable Campus Initiative activities of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in WPT charging of an on-campus vehicle (a Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid electric vehicle). Laboratory development of the WPT coils, high-frequency power inverter, and overall systems integration aremore »« less
Oak Ridge National Laboratory Wireless Charging of Electric Vehicles - CRADA Report

Technical Report Onar, Omer C. ; Campbell, Steven L. ; Seiber, Larry Eugene ; ...

Wireless power transfer (WPT) is a paradigm shift in electric-vehicle (EV) charging that offers the consumer an autonomous, safe, and convenient option to conductive charging and its attendant need for cables. With WPT, charging process can be fully automated due to the vehicle and grid side radio communication systems, and is non-contacting; therefore issues with leakage currents, ground faults, and touch potentials do not exist. It also eliminates the need for touching the heavy, bulky, dirty cables and plugs. It eliminates the fear of forgetting to plug-in and running out of charge the following day and eliminates the tripping hazardsmore »« less

Analysis of In-Route Wireless Charging for the Shuttle System at Zion National Park

Conference Meintz, Andrew ; Prohaska, Robert ; Konan, Arnaud ; ...

System right-sizing is critical to implementation of wireless power transfer (WPT) for electric vehicles (EVs). This study will analyze potential WPT scenarios for the electrification of shuttle buses at Zion National Park utilizing a modelling tool developed by NREL called WPTSim. This tool uses second-by-second speed, location, and road grade data from the conventional shuttles in operation to simulate the incorporation of WPT at fine granularity. Vehicle power and state of charge are simulated over the drive cycle to evaluate potential system designs. The required battery capacity is determined based on the rated power at a variable number of chargingmore »« less
