Wireless Chargers for Electric Vehicle: A Systematic Review on Converter Topologies, Environmental Assessment, and Review Policy

Abstract

The delivery of electricity employing an electromagnetic field that extends across an intervening region is called a wireless power transfer (WPT). This approach paves the way for electric vehicles (EVs) to use newly available options to reduce their environmental impact. This article is a review that examines the WPT technology for use in electric vehicle applications from both the technical aspect and the environmental impact. This review will attempt to accomplish the following objectives: (1) describe the present state of the technology behind the development and application of a WPT across the transportation industry; (2) substantiate the actual implementation of WPT EV systems; and (3) estimate the functioning of the autonomous system, as well as detect the potential stumbling blocks and openings for enhancement. The most recent advancements and implementation in compensating topologies, power electronics converters, and control techniques are dissected and debated scientifically to improve the system’s performance. To evaluate the performance from a sustainable perspective, energy, environmental, and economic factors are utilized, and at the same time, policy drivers and health and safety problems are researched.

Charging Ahead: Statistics on Electric Vehicle Charging Station Allocation and Uptake Trends in Malaysia

“…The Syahirah and Farah / A Study on Trends and Developments of Electric Vehicle Charging Station: Malaysia's Perspectives dynamic WCS is the EV gets charged while the vehicle moves at full speed. [25] stated that the power of wireless CSs is within 0.06 -60 kW depending on wireless CSs technology companies such as Qualcomm halo, WiTricity EV, PATH and so on. Depending on the size of the battery pack, charging periods vary, but it's generally regarded sufficient to have the battery fully charged in 4-6 hours [26].…”

Challenges and Barriers of Wireless Charging Technologies for Electric Vehicles

“…Current source converters power these systems. The primary capacitance value needed for PP topology is higher than for PS [307]. Table 9 shows the analysis of the review study of the resonant power transmission.…”

Overview of the Thermal Runaway in Lithium-Ion Batteries with Application in Electric Vehicles: Working Principles, Early Warning, and Future Outlooks

“…Currently, wireless charging for EVs is considered the best strategy with high efficiency, time savings, no wire plug, and convenience . Resonant electromagnetic induction, also known as inductive charging, is used in this method for wireless EV charging to carry an electrical current. − The same principle applies to wireless charging for EVs; when the two pads line up, charging starts thanks to a magnetic coil in the charger sending current to a coil on the underside of the vehicle (Figure ). However, the battery management system in electric vehicles must also be compatible with the wireless charging system and must be able to control the battery system to not charge for too long or to be overloaded to avoid the phenomenon of battery bottles or even fires at the charging station.…”
