N2 - A sensorless electric vehicle (EV) detection mechanism for inductive charging stations is proposed. The proposed method is based on the detection of small resonance frequency deviations from the nominal resonance frequency which are due to the presence of the vehicle. Self-tuning controllers are utilized for fast and accurate resonance frequency tracking in inductive charging systems. The proposed method uses the transmitter magnetic structure of inductive charging systems at very low power for vehicle detection and thereby, eliminates the need for sensor-based detection mechanisms. The proposed method is simulated using 2D and 3D finite element analysis (FEA) and the results are presented. The results show that in a typical inductive charging station, vehicles can be detected within 1.5 meters from the transmitter pad.
