Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Compared to conventional plug-in systems, wireless power transfer is a safe, convenient, and highly efficient method of transportation application charging. Applications cover a wide range, i.e., electric vehicles, train and metro, industrial robotics, automatic guided vehicle, unmanned underwater vehicle, unmanned aerial vehicle, etc. Wireless charging systems still need further investigation before wider commercialization in terms of efficiency, electric magnetic field emissions, safety, cost, standards, and interoperability.

This Special Issue aims to publish the most up-to-date, original developments in wireless charging systems for transportation applications. Original research, practical contributions, surveys, and state-of-the-art tutorials are welcome.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

  • Topic A: Static/dynamic wireless charging for electric vehicles.
  • Topic B: Magnetic coupler/pad modelling, simulation, and design.
  • Topic C: Converter topologies and control schemes.
  • Topic D: Foreign object detection, living object protection and position detection.
  • Topic E: Electromagnetic inference and electromagnetic compatibility issues.
  • Topic F: Wireless charging for train and metro, robotics, and automatic guided vehicle.
  • Topic G: Wireless charging for unmanned underwater vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles.
  • Topic H: Magnetic shielding in Wireless charging system.
  • Topic I: All other relevant technologies such as measurement, communication, modelling and control, compensation topologies, integrated circuits, and other technologies.

Metal foreign objects will not only reduce the output power and efficiency of the wireless power transfer (WPT) system, but also will be heated under the eddy current effect. The method based on the detection coil array has been wildly adopted for foreign object detection (FOD), especially in high-power level WPT applications. However, the problems of low sensitivity or misjudgment still exist which leads to a safety hazard. Therefore, high sensitivity of the foreign object-detection method based on the excitation frequency optimization has been proposed in this paper. Based on the impedance change of the detection coil caused by the foreign object coupling, the frequency characteristics of detection sensitivity were analyzed under the conditions of different self-inductance detection coils. Then, the detection coil was designed and its corresponding optimal excitation frequency was selected to achieve the optimal detection effect to eliminate the area of low detection sensitivity. Finally, an FOD experimental prototype was established to verify the proposed frequency optimization strategy. The results show that the sensitivity of the FOD system is up to 97.56%. With the optimal excitation frequency of 6.22 MHz, as for 1-yuan coin in the center position and corner position of the detection coil, the detection sensitivity is 92.89% and 40.16%, respectively, which is 22.13% and 23.89% higher than that of the excitation frequency is 1 MHz. The improvement of detection sensitivity is helpful to detect accurately and eliminate the detection blind area. Full article

Wireless charging technology has become an important development trend in future electric vehicle (EV) power supply technology due to its safety, flexibility, and convenience. With its industrialized development, interoperability has become an essential technical link. The interoperability of wireless charging systems refers to the ability of output performance to meet specified indicators when different transmitter and receiver devices are matched. This study reviews the research status of the interoperability of EV wireless charging technology. First, the definition and composition of the interoperability of wireless charging systems are briefly given. Then, the article provides a review of standards about interoperability so far. The interoperability of various magnetic couplers and compensation topologies is also analyzed and summarized. After that, the paper reviews the existing interoperability evaluation methods. Finally, this work highlights the existing problems and challenges in current research of interoperability. We hope that this work will contribute to the further development of EV wireless charging technology. Full article
