Charge-as-You-Go: Dynamic Wireless Charging Roads for Sustainable EV Travel

Abstract

The system related to this invention deals with the dynamic system of continuously supplying power to electrical vehicles and transferring it while on dedicated roads. By harnessing advanced wireless power transfer technology via inductive or resonant magnetic coupling, it has the potential to recharge the vehicle without stopping or interrupting its ongoing operation, therefore increasing driving range and reducing downtime. The invention is widely applicable to different types of EVs, such as passenger cars, buses, and trucks. It can be integrated with renewable energy sources and smart grid technology to enhance power distribution considering more traffic and energy demand. This invention is thus aimed at supporting the wide deployment of EVs and contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through transportation by providing sustainable, scalable, and efficient charging infrastructure.

Specification

Description:The current invention offers electric vehicles a moving platform in the form of designated roadways on which they can recharge while driving. Enhanced wireless electrical power transmission systems capitalize on the charging coils placed on the road surface and receivers integrated in the cars for inductive or resonant magnetic coupling. Thus, the power transfer is seamless between two physical objects.
The innovation targets fundamental problems at the stage of scaling of the EV infrastructure in regard to constant maximally increased driving range, minimal stops and cost efficient frequent operations over long distances. The design of the system is made to fit into the existing road networks and to be used with different brands of passenger EVs, public buses and other commercial fleets models. The operational efficiency, energy safety level of the system is high. The approach and system presented take into consideration the speed variability and the requirements for the speed under certain traffic conditions that are applicable to the system.
It's a great invention to encourage integration of renewable energy sources and smart grid technology to help create a transportation system that in due time will emit less green gas. The electric vehicle wireless charging system will help improve electric vehicles accessibility by making it easy to charge them in any location. This will in the long run help promote the use of EV's in the future.
