Introduction Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) systems for charging EV Batteries in-situ are gaining attention as they are wireless and do not have to be plugged in. These systems use two wireless pads – one on the underside of the vehicle and the other on the road surface underneath the vehicle – that are magnetically coupled to each other. This wireless power transfer uses inductive coupling under resonance with coils or multiples of coils with high native quality factor (QL). The coupling is a geometrical property of the magnetic and electrical circuits: better pads achieve coupling depending on their design and a poor design can never be adequately compensated but leads inexorably to a poor IPT system. Early commercial designs were developed in the 90’s and have been improved over the past 20 years. This inductive coupling is known in the academic literature to be identical to strongly coupled magnetic resonance. For efficient charging with minimal field leakage the car must be parked or positioned so that the two pads are in relatively close proximity to each other. Under these conditions a recognition system allows the two pads to communicate with each other such that ultimately the pad on the ground is ‘fired up’ and energy is transferred from the ground pad to the on-vehicle pad and thence to the battery. When the battery is charged the system disconnects; both the ground pad and the vehicle pad are shut down. In more complex situations the charger can also transfer power from the car to the ground pad and back to the utility and all such systems described following can be made bidirectional; however this action will not be explicitly discussed here. Wireless charging via IPT can only occur if several conditions are met simultaneously: The pads must be compatible with each other The pads must operate at the same nominal frequency The position of the car must have the onvehicle pad within the relative x, y, z, error that is allowable for this pad pair The communications protocol must be compatible between the two pads The power ratings and connections of the two pads must be designed to be compatible and at similar rating – a 100kW bus primary charger cannot be used with a 2kW secondary car battery connection with an expectation of high efficiency and low field emissions, although a 20kW primary system may be able to achieve good results with the same 2kW secondary if this is considered at the design stage.
