Abstract

Wireless charging of electric vehicles (EVs) is going to play a major role in electrification of transportation. This paper proposes to utilize an LCL tuned primary and series tuned secondary with a secondary buck regulator to achieve power transfer control by secondary side control only. Analytical expressions for base (primary) coil current and transformer turns ratio N required to transfer the required power at a certain input voltage is calculated for a given coil set. The required parameters are calculated for a 6.6 kW wireless charging system with a matched circular coil set. The proposed control scheme and analysis were validated through Saber Sketch simulations and by a 6.6 kW laboratory prototype. Experimental results for different load power settings at voltages of 290 V, 340 V, and 370 V are presented.
