Abstract

The pursuit of battery charging technology for electric vehicle (EV) has led to extensive research on the inductive-based wireless power transfer (WPT) systems. In this paper, the compensation component (including coils) stresses will be studied in two commonly adopted compensation topologies, namely S-S and LCC-S compensations. Due to the peak voltage calculation inaccuracy for certain components based on conventional fundamental frequency analysis, an improved peak voltage calculation method is introduced in closed form, which is proved to be more accurate by both simulation and experiments.
