Solar & Wind Based Wireless Charging Lane For Electric Vehicle

Computer Engineering

In this system, an inductive wireless charging lane for electric vehicles and battery swapping/charging station is introduced. In recent years, under the background of global warming, electric vehicles (EVs) using clean energy are getting more attention among the developed and developing countries, since they can help reduce the emission of carbon dioxide. However, the traditional electric cable charging for EVs brings up some problems. For instance, EVs have to be parked in the charging stations equipped with electric chargers with cables in order to get powered and it usually takes at least a couple of hours to get full charged. To avoid the limitation of position and time, the wireless power transmission (WPT) is proposed for an alternative solution for EVs charging. Through inductive coupling effect, EVs can be charged continuously as long as they drive along the roadway, under which coupled coils are laid. The basic WPT system only consists of two coils, one connected to a load while the other connected to a source. In addition, most of the research only discusses about the structure of either the single transmission coils or single receiving coils. In the efficiency of wireless power transmission of inductive coupled coils is calculated in the condition of vertical and horizontal deviations. The complete system is smart and internet connected so user and the owner can easily monitor or track the system using Web application.
