Abstract

Wireless power transfer is going to play a major role in transportation electrification due the convenience, flexibility, safety, and high-efficiency. Achieving high power levels is important in order to reduce the charge times and provide more convenience to electric vehicle (EV) owners while keeping the efficiency high and electric and electromagnetic field emissions lower than the limits set by the international guidelines. This study presents a 20-kW wireless charging system designed for a Toyota RAV4 electric vehicle for stationary charging with a dc-to-dc (high-frequency inverter input to the vehicle battery terminals) efficiency exceeding 95% over four power conversion stages. Additionally, the modeling, analysis, and sensitivity of the wireless charging system are presented for series-series resonant tuning configuration.
