Wireless Charging of an Electric Vehicle Using Solar and Wind Power

The proposed system successfully integrates solar and wind energy with wireless power transfer for electric vehicle charging. The developed prototype combines renewable energy generation, battery storage, high-frequency switching, and copper-coil-based wireless power transfer to charge the vehicle battery without a physical connection. The system uses a 100-kHz pulse generator at the transmitter and achieves wireless energy transfer over an approximate distance of 10 cm. The experimental implementation demonstrates the feasibility of using renewable energy sources for wireless EV charging and vehicle operation. The received AC power is rectified and converted into DC power for charging the vehicle battery, which subsequently drives the DC motors. The integration of solar and wind energy with wireless charging provides a sustainable and convenient approach for future EV charging applications, particularly in locations where reducing dependence on conventional grid power is desirable.
