Review on Dynamic Wireless Charging for Electric Vehicle

Abstract - The rising adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has intensified the need for sustainable and efficient charging infrastructures. This paper presents a comprehensive review of solar-based EV charging stations and wireless charging systems, focusing on their potential to contribute to an eco-friendly and accessible charging solution. Solar-based charging stations leverage photovoltaic (PV) technology to generate renewable energy, reducing dependency on traditional grid power. These systems face challenges such as energy storage, variable solar output, and system efficiency, which are addressed through advanced energy management strategies like Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). On the other hand, wireless charging systems, particularly inductive and resonant power transfer, offer the convenience of cable-free operation and can enhance the user experience by integrating charging seamlessly into parking and roadway infrastructure. However, issues related to alignment, power transfer efficiency, and electromagnetic interference persist. This review explores the feasibility of hybrid systems combining solar and wireless technologies, providing an in-depth analysis of their design, operational challenges, and real-world applications. The findings underscore that, while solar and wireless charging systems individually hold promise, their integration could revolutionize EV charging by offering a sustainable and flexible solution. The paper concludes by discussing ongoing research, future technological developments, and the potential environmental benefits of widespread adoption of these integrated systems, which collectively align with global renewable energy goals and sustainable urban planning initiatives.
