Design of Wireless Power Transfer System for PMBLDC Motor driven Autonomous Vehicle

Abstract

In the modern age of technology where everything is powered via physical wires, once considered a technical marvel has now become a bane. Wireless power transfer is the key to the future of power transfer, in this paper a 1kW WPT system is designed and simulated for an PMBLDC motor driven autonomous vehicle. This paper focuses in detail about the variation in performance of the coils and the overall system when ferrite cores and aluminum shielding is considered along with the coils. It provides a comprehensive analysis on the misalignment of transmitter and receiver coils in different orientations and distances. The results indicate a significant increase in power transfer and efficiency of the system when extra components such as cores and shielding are also implemented. It is oriented towards increasing the efficiency of powering autonomous vehicles used in various sectors such as automobiles, information technology, aerospace, robotics, precision and domestic equipment, etc.
