Abstract

In this paper the design of roadway powered online electric vehicles by using wireless power transfer system is presented. Electric vehicles are charged on the roadway during their motion by the Wireless Power Transfer technology. Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) is the process of transferring power from transmission part into receiver part without passing through any man-made conductive elements interconnecting them. Online electric vehicles works on the principle of ElectroMagnetic Induction (EMI). Electromagnetic Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) is a popular technique of transferring power wirelessly over a short range. The result to be expected in this system is 80% of power transfer efficiency below 26 cm air gap.
