Design and Validation of a Dynamic Inductive Power Transfer System for EV Battery Charging
2022
In this paper, a Dynamic Resonant Inductive Power Transfer (DRIPT) System for the Electric Vehicle (EV) battery charging is proposed. In particular, the aim of the work is the general design of the whole system and its validation, with particular attention to the power electronic converters and their control. For the transmitter side, a DC/AC converter is used. It is controlled through the phase-shift technique and supervised by a Zero Phase Angle detection algorithm to ensure the maximum power transfer. For the receiver side, a double conversion stage, consisting of a diode rectifier and a controlled buck converter, is provided. The system is then simulated to verify its proper design.
Wireless Power Transfer for Electric Vehicles: System Design Approach and Energy Storage Characterization
2023
This thesis is the result of the research work carried out as part of the PhD course in Energy and Information Technology between November 2019 and January 2023 at the University of Palermo jointly with the University of Lisbon. The research project has been focused on wireless charging systems for electric vehicles. A wide-ranging analysis was conducted on the topic, with a particular focus on the design aspects of these systems. This thesis, a summary of the work carried out over the previous three years, is organized into two parts, identifying the macro research activities into which the project was been divided. The first part is focused on the design approach of the Wireless Power Tra…
