| Research Abstract |
Electric Vehicles (EV) offer promise as an effective solution to environmental issues. In order to create a charging infrastructure by installing equipment in such as locations as carports in private homes, the wireless battery charging system is very suitable. It is a promising system for wider diffusion because it is easy and safe to use for a broad range of users including the elderly. Developed has been a wireless EV charging system with the simplest components, in which high-frequency power is produced by a novel type of resonant inductive-power transfer single-ended high-frequency inverter which can operate by single power device. A prototype of high-efficiency wireless EV charging system using SiC power device has been produced.
