Optimization of power losses in electric vehicle battery by wireless charging method with consideration of the laser optic effect

Abstract

This work mainly deals with replacing the wired power transmission method for charging electric vehicle with the help of an efficient wireless power transmission method. For identifying an efficient wireless power transmission method, the inductive power transfer method and the laser optic method are taken into consideration to charge the electric vehicle battery. These methods are compared by hardware implementation for various conditions. Wireless power transmission is an emerging technology utilized to charge the electric vehicle battery through an air gap. The use of this new charging technique is due to its easy access from annoying charging cables, better efficiency, and smaller charging time. Also, it contributes to the remarkable reduction of pollutants and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere by the conventional vehicles. However, the implementation of inductive charging for electric vehicle still presents challenges in terms of power transfer efficiency, transmission distance, utilization of heavy batteries with ripple-free and charging time, and stress on compensation network to maintain resonant condition for maximum power transfer. This system will be verified through the simulation in MATLAB/Simulink environment. The simulation results of the inductive power transfer method and the comparison of hardware setup results with laser optic hardware setup have to be verified.
