Coil Parameters Optimization for Dynamic Wireless Charging of Electric Vehicles using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Algorithm

Dynamic wireless charging of EVs is an autonomous and user-friendly method for wireless battery charging of electric vehicles. However, the power transmission efficiency of the system is affected by the design of the transmitter and receiver coils. The main objective of this research is to optimize the design parameters of the transmitter and receiver coils using the Particle Swarm optimization (PSO) Algorithm. In the optimization the vertical distance between magnetic coils is dictated by the car model and the air core inductive resonant wireless power transfer (WPT) system is considered. Validity of the optimized coil parameters is ensured by performing finite element simulation in the ANSYS Electronics Desktop platform.
