Zusammenfassung:A system and method for managing temperature internal to a Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) system for electric vehicles is provided. The thermal management system of the WPT system uses one or more of passive, semi-active, and active cooling approaches to manage the internal temperatures of the WPT system during a charging session. Improvements in thermal management allow for longer duration charging sessions and higher power charging sessions without the need to suspend charging for cool-down. Further, several different approaches to disguising and implementing the thermal management system in public spaces is also provided.
