Abstract

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) technology has emerged as a transformative solution for charging electric vehicles (EVs), offering convenience, safety, and potential for seamless integration into transportation systems. This article provides a comprehensive review of recent advancements in WPT for EVs, focusing on performance optimization strategies to enhance efficiency, power transfer capacity, and misalignment tolerance. The study explores key technical aspects, including coil design, compensation topologies, power electronics, and control methods, while addressing challenges such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) and safety concerns. Through a detailed literature review, methodology, and analysis, this article evaluates state-of-the-art techniques and proposes future research directions to overcome existing limitations. The findings underscore the importance of optimized coil structures, advanced compensation techniques, and dynamic charging solutions to improve WPT system performance for EV applications, contributing to sustainable mobility. This paper introduces a new approach to boost the efficiency of wireless power transfer (WPT) for electric vehicles (EVs), through advanced coil design optimization and control techniques. Current EV charging methods struggle with slow charging times and limited adaptability.
