WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES (EV) CHARGING IN MATLAB

Abstract: The technology for Electric vehicles (EVs) has become the one with the quickest rate of growth in the transportation sector. This is necessary to lessen environmental pollution, carbon dioxide emissions, and fossil fuel depletion. The primary problem with EVs, which use batteries as their primary energy source, is how they charge their batteries. The inductively coupled power transfer methodology, which is thought to be the most sophisticated and well- liked way of charging EVs, is the foundation of the model we provide in this study. The suggested system employs the series-series (SS) wireless power transmission topology, and a thorough discussion of the system's parameters is provided. The performance of the suggested system is briefly examined along with a theoretical study utilizing three simulated models on the MATLAB/SIMULINK platform. Additionally, the simulation findings of inductively coupled wireless power transmission are validated for various types of charging stations.
