    Abstract

    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. When applied in-motion, WPT additionally relives range anxiety, adds further convenience, reduces battery size, and may help increase the battery life through charge sustaining approach. This study summarizes some of the recent activities of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in WPT charging of EV and PHEV's inmotion. Laboratory experimental results that highlight the wireless transfer of power to a moving receiver coil as it passes a pair of transmit coils and investigation of results of insertion loss due to roadway surfacing materials. Some of the experimental lessons learned are also included in this study.
