As a result, their switch voltage and current stresses are reduced, and their efficiency, output power and power-output capability can be higher than the Class E inverter. These improved features of Class EF inverters over Class E inverters can be beneficial in a wireless power transfer (WPT) via magnetic induction application. This paper demonstrates the application of a Class EF inverter operating at a 6.78MHz for a 25W WPT system. A sixth-order piecewise-linear state space model is presented to analyse the inverter and to derive values of its components to achieve optimum switching operation. Experimental results are provided to confirm validity of the state-space model and the design of the inverter and a DC-DC efficiency of 87% was achieved.","PeriodicalId":194427,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Wireless Power Transfer Conference (WPTC)","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122297228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Battery EVs, powered exclusively by electricity, draw more attention because they emit zero exhaust fumes, transfer energy efficiently and can be more economical compared with internal combustion automobiles. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the real-world charging, driving and energy consumption patterns of electric vehicles and charging stations deployed in a college town over a period of ten months. Data collection approaches include data from charging stations and from Nissan CARWINGS telematics services. Results indicate that most charging events last fewer than three hours and most battery EVs are used locally within Athens, GA. Based on this EV usage analysis, potential impacts of wireless EV charging stations as well as a list of practical factors are discussed when implementing wireless charging stations across the city.","PeriodicalId":194427,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Wireless Power Transfer Conference (WPTC)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129726418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
