Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Foreign object detection (FOD) is crucial to preventing wireless electric vehicle charging (WEVC) systems from thermal risk caused by intruded metals in the charging area. In practice, the spa-tial misalignment between EV and ground-assembled power transmitter is evitable. Unfortunately, according to our quantitative analysis based on conventional voltage-difference-based method, a misalignment of merely tens of mm has been enough to severely deteriorate the FOD accuracy. To combat this misalignment effect, a FOD strategy based on passive sensing coils utilizing voltage vector decomposition (VVD) is proposed in this paper. The proposed strategy can be invariant to misalignment in an automatic manner, during the whole charging process, and regardless of the resonance state of charging circuit. To facilitate VVD implementation, a method called inductance-misalignment mapping (IMM) is devised to obtain the spatial misalignment of EV in real time, and it can be executed by reusing the sensing coils without introducing extra cost. The effectiveness of optimized sensing coils with the proposed FOD method is validated successfully using a commercialized 3-kW prototype working from light load to rated load. (c) 2022 ISA.
