Study of the Electromagnetic Interference Generated by Wireless Power Transfer Systems

This paper presents a study related with measuring of radio frequency emissions. The purpose is to determine the level of interference generated by wireless power transfer equipment in a specific frequency range, and to compare those levels to the existing standards. The technology of wireless power transfer, especially for electric vehicles batteries charging, is rapidly developing in the recent years. An increasing use of this technology in industrial and consumer electronic products has raised concerns about the possible unfavorable health-effects onto the human being. Another concern is raised from the high intensity fields produced by wireless power transfer systems which will generate highly undesired influence on other electrical and electronic equipment. As a protection against the potential health effects, the governments imposed limits on the occupational and general public exposure to the radio frequencies. These limitations are set out in national and international safety guidelines, standards and regulations. The measurement and evaluation of the human exposure to electromagnetic fields are essential to guarantee occupational and general public safety.

Electric Vehicle Battery Charger: Wireless Power Transfer System Controlled by Magnetic Core Reactor

This paper presents a control process and frequency adjustment based on the magnetic core reactor for electric vehicle battery charger. Since few decades ago, there have been significant developments in technologies used in wireless power transfer systems, namely in battery charger. In the wireless power transfer systems is essential that the frequency of the primary circuit be equal to the frequency of the secondary circuit so there is the maximum energy transfer. The magnetic core reactor allows controlling the frequencies on both sides of the transmission and reception circuits. Also, the assembly diagrams and test results are presented.
