ABSTRACT

The spatial electromagnetic field of electric vehicle (EV) wireless charging stations may experience a superposition effect, which will increase the electromagnetic radiation. To assess the safety of electromagnetic exposure from wireless charging stations, this study employs a finite element simulation software to construct an electromagnetic environment model for a compact wireless charging station. The model is utilized to compute the superposition effect of spatial electromagnetic fields resulting from the simultaneous charging of multiple wireless chargers. Furthermore, the model assesses the levels of electromagnetic exposure on human models at eight observation points situated within the charging station. Results indicate that the volume average values of spatial magnetic induction strength (B) and electric field strength (E) are higher when multiple EVs are charged simultaneously than when a single EV is charged, and the electromagnetic radiation received by a human standing between two vehicles is greater than that near one vehicle. At the 22 kW charging power level, the maximum values of B, E and current density at the eight observation points of the charging station are all below the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection limit, demonstrating that the human body is safe in compact wireless charging stations at this power level.
