Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) for Electric Vehicles (EVs)

为了避免全球变暖和城市污染，电动汽车和公交车等电动汽车的发展具有重要意义。无线电能传输(WPT)有助于轻松、可靠地为电动汽车电池充电。本博士将研究电动汽车电池充电的高效无线电能传输技术。无线电能传输是一种无电缆传输电能的有效方式。效率是评估无线能量传输系统性能的一个非常重要的因素。这个博士项目将研究使用低损耗电力电子来提高效率。将进行系统级设计优化。仿真和实验结果将用于验证所设计的系统。

In order to avoid global warming and city pollutions, the development of electric vehicles (EVs) such as electric cars and buses is of great importance. Wireless power transfer (WPT) helps in ease and reliability of charging the EV battery. This PhD will research high-efficiency wireless power transfer technologies for electric vehicle battery charging. Wireless power transfer is an effective way to transfer electrical power without cables connections. Efficiency is a very important factor when assessing the performance of wireless power transfer systems. This PhD project will look into using low-loss power electronics to improve the efficiency. A system level design optimisation will be carried out. Simulation and experimental results will be used to validate the designed system.
