Design and Analysis of a 200 kW Dynamic Wireless Charging System for Electric Vehicles

Dynamic wireless charging of electric vehicles can significantly alleviate or eliminate range anxiety while reducing the required on-board battery capacity. To achieve an electric vehicle charging balance with minimal infrastructure costs, power transfer levels around 200 kW are required. In this paper, a system architecture with a modularized power electronics and optimized power transfer couplers was adopted to enable efficient power transfer. A DC/DC converter was used for secondary-side charging control of the battery. The system performance was validated in an experimental setup at 120 kW with 91.31% efficiency from the DC input on the primary side to the vehicle battery.
