Wireless Power Transfer for E-Mobility

Wireless Power Transfer for E-mobility: this book provides an advanced foundation for researchers and engineers engaged in the development of automotive WPT systems, addressing principles and mathematical foundations, key aspects of modelling, design methodologies, current industrial standards, and safety in terms of compliance with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards, as well as electromagnetic safety (EMF Safety) for humans. The book opens with an overview of wireless technologies for power transfer and their evolution over time, then focusing on the application of this technology to electric mobility highlighting its importance in terms of impact and perspectives on the development of sustainable transport and autonomous driving. Chapters discuss the fundamentals of electromagnetic field in WPT systems and the circuit modelling. In addition, they examine core current electric vehicle systems and present-day automotive WPT standards. Design techniques of magnetic couplers, including compensation networks are explored in-depth alongside power electronics techniques for automotive WPT systems. Both stationary and dynamic automotive WPT systems are rigorously assessed. Finally, the problems of electromagnetic compatibility and electromagnetic field safety are described with particular attention to shielding techniques for the mitigation of
