Abstract

Abstract:

This paper proposes the design concept of a dynamic charging system for electric vehicles using multiple transmitter coils connected to a common radio frequency (RF) feeder driven by a pair of two power supplies. Using a common RF feeder for multiple transmitter coils reduces the power electronic redundancy compared to a conventional system, where each transmitter coil is individually driven by one switched-mode power supply. Currently, wireless charging of electric vehicles is recommended to operate in the frequency range of 85 kHz and beyond. In this frequency range, the signal wavelength is shorter than about 3.5 km. Therefore, a charging pad longer than several hundred meters is subject to the standing wave effect. In such a case, the voltage significantly varies along the RF feeder, resulting in a variation in the received power level when the receiver moves. Specifically, the received power significantly deteriorates when the receiver is nearby a node of the voltage standing wave. In this paper, we employ a pair of two power sources which are electrically separated by an odd-integer number of the quarter wavelength to drive the RF feeder. As a result, the voltage standing wave generated by one power source is complemented by that of the other, leading to stable received power and transmission efficiency at all the receiver’s positions along with the charging pad. Simulation results at the 85 kHz frequency band verify the output power stabilization effect of the proposed design. It is worth noting that the proposed concept can also be applied to simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) for passive radio frequency identification (RFID) tags by raising the operation frequency to higher industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) bands, e.g., 13.56 MHz and employing similar modulation methods as in the current RFID technology.
