Advances in EV wireless charging technology – A systematic review and future trends

Abstract

Current advancements in wireless power transfer systems have improved the viability of enhancing the scope of the driving journey of an Electric Vehicle. This paper addresses the prime aspects of wireless charging infrastructure using a systematic approach, such as compensation topologies, power converter circuit design, and power transfer methods. The exclusive wireless charging track on the road minimizes the size of the battery device and the charging duration of energy storage during driving. The ability to transmit high power through a coil placed on the road to the Electric Vehicle requires an appropriate design for the complete wireless power transmission module. This paper also presents advancements in the domain of wireless technologies and recommends upcoming opportunities and future research trends.
