Electrical vehicles charging based wireless power transfer: Review

Inductive wireless power transfer (IWPT) is a method introduced for transferring energy. IWPT technology is generally characterized by high transfer efficiency and high output power at low distances. The extensive use of gasoline leads to the emission of gases harmful to the environment, which leads to global warming. Therefore, traditional energy resources must be minimized and their effects on the environments should be reduced. Therefore, alternative solutions such as electric vehicles (EVs) or EV-based wireless power transfer (WPT) are adopted. In this research, IWPT-based EV was reviewed and compared. In addition, the WPT was classified according to the transfer distances. Several performance metrics of previous scholars related to charging the battery of EVs were explored and compared in terms of transfer power, efficiency and distance between receiver and transmitter coils and the oscillating frequency. In addition, the application of WPT was highlighted. Moreover, the advantage and disadvantages of IWPT were explored.
