Semi-Dynamic Wireless Power Charging System for Autonomous Electric Vehicle

Abstract

In this paper, semi-dynamic wireless charging system with dynamic/static power line module and pick-up system for autonomous electric vehicle is presented as result of joint research between KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology) and KU (Khalifa University) in UAE. We progressed magnetic field simulation for our system and obtained test result of 91.8% of max. power efficiency, 16.96kW of max. output power and 86.44% of average power efficiency after applying the finally designed system to test-bed in KAIST and manufactured vehicle. From this, we confirmed that the presented system satisfies the determined design requirements and has good performance in terms of output power and power efficiency in case of dynamic and static wireless charging power line module.
