Master of Science Thesis Sustainable Microgrid for charging electric vehicles from on-road contactless power transfer systems

چکیده
A sustainable microgrid for supplying power to electric vehicles (EVs) is investigated in this thesis. The energy produced by the microgrid would be directly transferred to the electric vehicles via on-road charging systems. The proposed sustainable microgrid is located on the roadside and consists of wind turbines, solar panels and a stationary storage system. The optimum sizing, the topology and the power management are discussed. Both the grid-connected and the stand-alone options are investigated. The on-road chargers consist of Contactless Power Transfer (CPT) systems for powering electric vehicles without any physical interconnection. The concept of CPT systems is similar to an air-cored transformer, where the primary winding is installed on the road and the secondary winding below the vehicle’s chassis. The implementation of such on-road charging systems for EV driving range extension and EV battery size decrease is also investigated within this thesis.

متن کاملContactless Power Transfer System for Rapid Charger of Electric Vehicle
A contactless power transfer system for charging electric vehicles requires a high efficiency, a large air gap, and a good tolerance to lateral misalignment and needs to be compact and lightweight. A double-sided winding 10 kW transformer based on a 1.5 kW H-shaped core transformer was developed for a rapid charger. Even though the transformer capacity was increased, the dimensions of the 10 kW...
