Performance analysis on dynamic wireless charging for electric vehicle using ferrite core

The technology of dynamic Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) has been accepted in the Electric Vehicle (EV) industry. Recently, for a stationary EV charging system, the existence of a ferrite core improves power efficiency. However, for dynamic wireless charging, the output power fluctuates when the EV moves. Two main obstacles that must be dealt with is air-gaps and misalignment between the coils. This paper investigates clear design guidelines for fabrication of an efficient Resonant Inductive Power Transfer (RIPT) system for the EV battery charging application using a ferrite core. Two different geometry shapes of ferrite core, U and I cores, will be investigated and tested using simulation and experimental work. The proposed design was simulated in JMAG 14.0, and the prototype was tested in the laboratory. The expected output analysis from these two techniques was that the power efficiency of the ferrite pair should first be calculated. From the analysis and experimental results, it is seen that the pair of ferrite cores that used a U shape at the primary and secondary side provides the most efficient coupling in larger air-gap RIPT application with 94.69% on simulation JMAG 14.0 and 89.7% from conducting an experiment

Design of circular inductive pad couple with magnetic flux density analysis for wireless power transfer in EV

As the population grows, people will consume more natural resources. This issue will lead to a low petrol supply for all land transportation, especially supplies for car consumption. Therefore, the electric vehicle (EV) has been introduced to overcome this issue. Currently, wired charging of EVs has been implemented in most of the developed country, including Malaysia. However, some drawbacks have been found from this technology. Therefore, wireless charging comes into the picture to solve this issue. Charging pad on the road and at the car are required for both wired and wireless charging. Various designs of charging pad are available. However, this paper will only focus on the circular design. There is many software that can be used to design the coil pad. Each software has a different procedure and steps to design the coil pad. In this paper, JMAG Designer software will be used to design the circular coil pad. Then, three coil pair were simulated using JMAG Designer to investigate the magnetic flux density between primary and secondary coil when varying the misalignment of 0 cm, 4 cm and 8 cm. From the simulation, there is no specific trend in the relationship between magnetic flux density and misalignment

Investigation of magnetic properties for different coil sizes of dynamic wireless charging pads for electric vehicles (EV)

: Electric vehicles (EV) have been introduced in the recent years due to public awareness of the effect of gas emission from traditional cars and the extinction of petroleum natural resources. For charging EV, dynamic wireless charging is considered in this paper. This is because it is more convenient and saves charging time since it charges the electric vehicle while moving. The main challenge of this process is to maintain a high amount of power transfer from primary to secondary coil. One of the factors contributing to a good power transfer is the size of the coil [1]. There are various designs of coil for wireless charging of electric vehicles (EV). Among the most common designs are circular pad (CP), rectangular pad (RP), double-D pad (DDP), and double-D quadrature pad (DDQP). In this paper, circular pad (CP) is chosen for use, due to its simplicity in design and good electrical and magnetic properties. Three different coil pair sizes are tested to find the most suitable coil pair for the primary and secondary pads that has the maximum power transfer and is least sensitive to misalignment. The magnetic properties have been investigated to obtain the highest value of magnetic flux. The geometry design of the pads and simulation was done using COMSOL Multiphysics software. From the simulation, it was found that the unsymmetrical coil pair gives high magnetic strength when the outer diameters of the primary and secondary coils have the same value. ************************************************************************* Kenderaan Elektrik (EV) telah diperkenalkan sejak beberapa tahun ini hasil kesedaran awam tentang kesan pembebasan gas dari kenderaan lama dan pengurangan sumber asli petroleum. Kajian ini berkaitan pengecas dinamik tanpa wayar bagi mengecas EV. Ini kerana pengecas ini lebih sesuai dan jimat masa mengecas kerana kenderaan elektrik dicas ketika bergerak. Cabaran utama proses ini adalah mengekalkan pemindahan tenaga yang tinggi daripada gegelung primer kepada gegelung sekunder. Salah satu faktor bagi mendapatkan pemindahan tenaga yang tinggi adalah saiz gegelung wayar [1]. Terdapat pelbagai bentuk gegelung bagi mengecas kenderaan elektrik (EV) tanpa wayar. Antaranya adalah pad membulat (CP), pad segiempat tepat (RP), pad berganda-D (DDP), dan pad kuadratur berganda-D (DDQP). Kajian ini telah menggunakan pad membulat (CP) kerana reka bentuknya yang ringkas dan ia mempunyai sifat elektrikal dan magnatik yang baik. Tiga pasang gegelung berbeza telah diuji bagi mendapatkan pasangan gegelung pad primer dan sekunder yang paling sesuai di mana ianya mempunyai pemindahan tenaga maksima dan paling kurang sensitif pada ketidakjajaran. Sifat magnet telah diuji bagi mendapatkan nilai fluks magnet tertinggi. Rekabentuk geometri pad dan simulasi telah dijalankan menggunakan perisian Multifizik COMSOL. Hasil simulasi mendapati pasangan gegelung yang tidak simetri telah menghasilkan kekuatan magnetik tertinggi apabila diameter luaran gegelung primer dan sekunder mempunyai nilai sama

The depletion in energy sources especially oil is among the crucial issues nowadays in Malaysia. Since the quantity of vehicles in Malaysia are increasing, the oil sources are not enough to accommodate all. Wireless charging of Electric Vehicle (EV) has been developed to solve this issue but it gives limited performance due to misalignment, air gap and power loss. Therefore, this project proposed three coil pair design of circular pad coupler for wireless charging of EV. These three pairs were tested for air gap and misalignment cases using simulation and experimental work to find the best coil pair which gives the highest efficiency of power transfer. To design the circular pad, three elements are required in this project which are circuit parameters, geometric properties and experimental work. At first, the circuit parameters are calculated using a specific equation to obtain the inductance value for primary and secondary coil at resonant frequency which is needed for the fabrication of coil process. The simulation for ideal case were done using NI Multisim software to prove the calculated circuit parameters. Then, the geometric properties were calculated and designed in JMAG Designer software. Before designing the circular coil, several geometric parameters like inner diameter, outer diameter and number of turns were set up and calculated. Here, the magnetic flux density and power transfer were observed and measured for each coil pair design. The limitation for this study is that the high cost of copper wire and limited equipment in the laboratory
