Abstract:

This paper proposes a Dynamic Wireless Transfer (DWT) system to meet the growing need for plug-free EV battery charging solutions. DWT uses resonant inductive coupling to wirelessly transfer energy from a charging pad to an EV without plugging in. This improves use and lifespan by eliminating the annoyance of wired charging and improving mechanical durability. The design includes complex, intelligent power management algorithms that dynamically modulate power transfer efficiency in real time to improve system performance. The optimal energy loss and reproducible charging performance are achieved regardless of battery capacity or EV type. The system's interoperability across different EV platforms requires minimal hardware adaptation, making it stand out. A new RF card-based time-management system prevents overcharging and allows controlled, effective charging cycles. Scalable and compatible with renewable power sources like solar photovoltaic systems, the DWT system can reduce energy use. Wireless charging and renewable energy compatibility offer a global vision of clean transport and sustainable energy in the future DWT solution. Global deployment of the technology can bring EV charging infrastructure to diverse settings, helping reduce global carbon emissions, improving customer convenience, and boosting electric mobility options.
