Wireless Charging of EVs-Video

Abstract: Wireless power transfer (WPT) technology promises a very convenient, reliable, and safe way of transferring power wirelessly. The applications of this technology are charging electric vehicles (EV), electronic gadgets, implants, and powering LED lighting and data centers. This seminar's first part will address WPT technology's basics, including classification, design, and control. The later part of this seminar will focus on WPT topologies with the current-source inverter (CSI). The existing research on WPT is mainly based on power converters derived from voltage-source inverter (VSI) topologies. In contrast, the feasibility of the CSI has received limited attention. Considering certain limitations of WPT with voltage-fed converters, a concept study and feasibility analysis of different current-fed power electronic converters for WPT systems will be presented.
