Abstract: |
Electric vehicle (EV) inductive charging is a technology that allows an EV to charge its energy storage system remotely without physical connections. It is an exemplary solution for EV charging due to the associated advantages in terms of automation, safety in harsh environments, reliability during environmental disasters, flexibility, and interoperability. There are three visions of implementing inductive power transfer (IPT) technology for EV charging: (i) static, which happens during long-term parking, (ii) dynamic (in-motion), which occurs during high-speed travel, and (iii) quasi-dynamic, which happens during transient stops and low-speed driving charging. This chapter presents an overview of the IPT system in static, dynamic, and quasi-dynamic EV charging. It presents the state of the art of coupler design, shielding techniques, and system configurations. In addition, it explores the status of the technology, including research and development activities, demonstration, and deployment projects, as well as standardization activities. The challenges and opportunities of IPT for EV charging are highlighted in this chapter.
