Von der hinteren Coverseite

Wireless Power Transfer for e-Mobility: Fundamentals and Design Guidelines for Wireless Charging of Electric Vehicles provides a comprehensive resource for researchers and engineers engaged in the development of automotive WPT systems.

The book opens with an overview of wireless technologies for power transfer and their evolution over time, then focusing on the application of this technology to electric mobility highlighting its importance in terms of impact and perspectives on the development of sustainable transport and autonomous driving. Chapters discuss the fundamentals of electromagnetic field in WPT systems and the circuit modelling. In addition, they examine core current electric vehicle systems and present-day automotive WPT standards. Design techniques of magnetic couplers, including compensation networks are explored in-depth alongside power electronics techniques for automotive WPT systems. Both stationary and dynamic automotive WPT systems are rigorously assessed. Finally, the problems of electromagnetic compatibility and electromagnetic field safety are described with particular attention to shielding techniques for the mitigation of magnetic field emissions.

Addressing essential knowledge from foundational to advanced levels, Wireless Power Transfer for e-Mobility provides practical guidance to engineers and researchers developing the future of electric mobility.
