Abstract
The increasing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) has led to a growing need for efficient and convenient charging solutions. Wireless power transfer (WPT) technology has emerged as a promising solution to address this need, offering the convenience of no cables or plugs, while reducing the reliance on traditional charging stations. This paper proposes a novel approach to WPT from the grid to EVs using single-phase matrix converter technology. The proposed system is designed to achieve high efficiency, low cost, and compact size, while meeting the safety and regulatory standards. The paper presents the design, modeling, simulation, and experimental validation of the proposed system. The results show that the proposed system achieves a high power transfer efficiency of over 95% and can deliver up to 7.5 kW of power to the EV. The proposed system has the potential to revolutionize the charging infrastructure for EVs, making it more efficient, convenient, and accessible to a wider range of users.
Keywords: Wireless power transfer, electric vehicles, single-phase matrix converter, power electronics, efficiency.
