Abstrakt: Recently, dynamic wireless power transfer (DWPT) has been shown to be a promising technology for the widespread of electric vehicles (EVs). To utilize this technology, a critical challenge is to eliminate the coil misalignments, which cause a decrease in the coupling coefficient, thereby considerably degrading the power transfer efficiency. Considering the rectangular coils, this paper presents a new method to estimate and eliminate lateral misalignments. Based on the dynamics model of the vehicle, the lateral misalignment is estimated by the fusion of the DWPT current and the onboard inertial measurement unit. On the other hand, the misalignment and the yaw angle of the vehicle are simultaneously controlled by using rear in-wheel motors and the front active steering system. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been demonstrated by both simulations and experiments using a vehicle developed by our research group.
