Abstract

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) technology has become a groundbreaking solution for charging electric vehicles (EVs), providing convenience, safety, and the potential for seamless integration into transportation systems. This article offers an in-depth review of recent progress in WPT for EVs, concentrating on strategies to optimize performance by enhancing efficiency, power transfer capacity, and tolerance to misalignment. The study delves into essential technical elements, such as coil design, compensation topologies, power electronics, and control methods, while also addressing challenges like electromagnetic interference (EMI) and safety issues. Through a thorough literature review, methodology, and analysis, this article assesses cutting-edge techniques and suggests future research directions to address current limitations. The findings highlight the significance of optimized coil structures, advanced compensation techniques, and dynamic charging solutions to enhance WPT system performance for EV applications, contributing to sustainable mobility. This paper presents a novel approach to increase the efficiency of wireless power transfer (WPT) for electric vehicles (EVs) through advanced coil design optimization and control techniques. Current EV charging methods face challenges with slow charging times and limited adaptability.
