Design and Optimization of Real-Time Strong Coupling Coil of Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer for Electrical Vehicle

Dynamic wireless power transfer (DWPT) can solve the limitation of battery capacity of electric vehicles, and has a good application prospect. In order to solve the problem of weak coupling power supply in a DWPT system with segmented coil mode, an improved real-time strong coupling coil arrangement mode is proposed in this paper. First, the characteristics of the typical coil arrangement mode is analyzed by establishing a DWPT model, in which the mutual inductance decreases sharply in a certain range. In order to ensure the stability of mutual inductance, an improved long receiving coil arrangement mode is proposed, and its advantage of the low coil cost is analyzed theoretically. Further, the optimal process of the improved coil mode is designed based on the genetic algorithm, and an application case of the electric bus is given. Finally, the feasibility of the coil design process is verified by simulation, and the performance advantages of the proposed scheme are verified by a 30 kW WPT platform.
