Dynamic Charging of Electric Vehicles by Wireless Power Transfer

I N RECENT TIMES, wireless power charging of electric vehicles (EV) has gained huge attentions. Static wireless charging for EVs has seamlessly been achieved using the inductive power transfer (IPT) technology. More recently, dynamic (also termed in-motion) wireless charging with IPT technology has been successfully demonstrated for electric mass transportation means like electric trains, trams, buses, and utility vehicles. This special section looks forward to high-quality manuscripts highlighting the state-of-the-art on dynamic wireless charging of EVs. Papers are welcomed on analysis, design, prototype development, and testing of wireless systems for dynamic EV charging. Advanced researches on system-relevant issues such as coupling coil, coil misalignment compensation, power electronics converters, and LC-compensation circuitry for dynamic wireless charging systems are also welcome. Papers presenting quality work on wireless both IPT and non-IPT technology for dynamic wireless EV charging will be considered. Topics of interest of this Special Section include, but are not limited to:
