Abstract

The dynamic wireless power transfer systems may reduce the battery size of electric vehicles while maintaining the travel range. Similar to the stationary wireless power transfer systems, the compensation networks are desired in dynamic wireless charging systems at the primary and secondary sides to reduce the reactive power requirement from the source and improve the efficiency. Consequently, it is essential to understand the behavior of the compensation networks, especially the sensitivity to misalignments. This paper presents a sensitivity analysis of LCC-S and LCC-P compensation networks for a 200-kW power transfer with variations in the coupling coefficient due to the electric vehicle travel and misalignments between the pads. The sensitivity study combines the electromagnetic finite element analysis and circuit analysis to determine the impact of misalignments on the wireless power transfer system characteristics. The theoretical analysis is verified by conducting circuit simulations at discrete points to verify the accuracy of the mathematical model.
