Dynamic wireless power transfer system for electric vehicles to simplify ground facilities - real-time power control and efficiency maximization -

This paper focuses on dynamic wireless power transfer for electric vehicles and proposes a vehicle-side control method for real-time power control and efficiency maximization. The proposed control strategy and controller design are presented based on a real-time estimation of the mutual inductance between a transmitter and a receiver. Simulations and experiments demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve the maximum efficiency and the desired power simultaneously.
