Abstract
This article reviews various inductive and capacitive wireless charging systems to achieve high-power infrastructures. The characteristics of SAE, ICINRP, and IEEE safety standards for wireless charging technology were highlighted. The working of compensation circuits, resonant converters, and challenges in wireless power transfer (WPT) systems was discussed. The mechanism of different compensation circuits used in the WPT was discussed in detail. In addition, the design of the converter circuit topology of inductive and capacitive power transfer systems in electric vehicle (EV) batteries was highlighted. The foreign object detection (FOD) methods that prevent output power variations due to metal/living objects in the charging environment were explored. The foreign object detection (FOD) techniques in terms of impedance variations in the primary side of the charging circuit were explained. This review on EVs would help researchers and industrialists to identify and develop novel charging infrastructure with low cost and charging time.
