报告题目：Novel Wireless EV Charging Systems – Recent Research Advances
报告内容：
Inductive power transfer systems with active pick-ups, which are typically referred to as bi-directional IPT (BD-IPT) systems, not only improve system efficiency and flexibility, but also enables wireless Vehicle to Grid/Grid to Vehicle (V2G/G2V) services. These services, which are expected to become an integral part of future EV charging infrastructure, include the absorption of power variances produced by renewable energy sources, reactive power injection for grid voltage regulation and harmonics absorption for improved power quality. Overall, such services can further enhance the use of renewable energy sources, while also providing an additional revenue stream for EV owners. Consequently, there is a significant interest to develop novel technologies for BD-IPT systems that help lower the system cost, improve power transfer efficiency and provide greater spatial tolerance while also enabling the EV to provide services.
The first part of this presentation intends to introduce fundamental operating principles of a BD-IPT system. This will be followed by a summary of latest technologies developed by the power electronics research group at the University of Auckland. This discussion will include details of technologies such as hybrid compensation, boost active bridge (BAB) converter, integrated boost modular multi-level converter (IBMMC) and push-pull coupler array (PPCA). The presentation will conclude highlighting current research challenges and future directions.
