Scale Reduction for Rapid Prototyping of Wireless Power Transfer System for Electrical vehicules

In this paper, the scale reduction method is applied to a 3D model of a wireless inductive charging system for electric vehicles for its rapid prototyping and simulation. The co-simulation between a 3D FEM model of the wireless power transfer system (WPT) and the power electronic part is studied and in particular thanks to the scale reduction method. A preliminary comparison between the measurement and the FEM model of the coupling coefficient on the one hand and the computation time on the other hand highlights the high potential of the scale reduction method for prototyping and simulation of a realistic WPT system.
