An Introduction to Modern Electrical Power Supplies in order to develop Renewable Energy Resources

Combination of Electro-mobility and renewable energies will make an important contribution to comply climate protection aims. One important aspect of developing Electrical Vehicles (EVs) is their technologies for charging. Contactless Power Supply (CPS) is the new generation of charging in EVs. In this paper, an introduction to “the Contactless Power Supply (CPS)” is presented as an important technology in development of Renewable Energy Resources (RESs). Some research works are investigated focusing on their proposed control algorithms. Such algorithms should be developed to control the amplitude of the primary current and the phase angle between primary side voltage and current to transmit energy with an acceptable efficiency. A minimum level of the losses is an essential requirement for battery charging for EVs. Thus, technical approaches are required to satisfy the mentioned criteria. In this research, possible solutions are investigated in order to optimize inductive battery charging in electrical vehicles. Proposed simulations for future works could be based on MATLAB and Ansys-Maxwell in order to analyze CPS operation and also to check the results before laboratory experiments.
