CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW
Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular as an environmentally friendly and
sustainable mode of transportation. These vehicles use electric motors powered by
rechargeable batteries instead of traditional internal combustion engines that run on gasoline
or diesel.
To charge an EV, it needs to be connected to a charging station, which can be either
AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current) charging station.
vii
AC charging stations are typically found at homes, offices, and public parking lots and
can charge an EV from 0 to 100% in a few hours, depending on the battery capacity and
charging rate.
Traditional charging systems for electric vehicles (EVs) typically require a physical
connection between the EV and the charging station. There are two main types of traditional
charging systems: AC (alternating current) charging and DC (direct current) charging.
AC charging systems are the most common type of charging system and are typically
used for residential and workplace charging. AC charging systems can be used with a
standard household outlet, but the charging time is slower compared to higher-powered
charging stations. More powerful AC charging stations can provide up to 7.2 kW of power
vii
and can charge an EV from 0 to 100% in a few hours, depending on the battery capacity and
charging rate.
DC charging systems are designed for fast charging and are typically found at public
charging stations along highways and in urban areas. DC charging systems can provide up to
350 kW of power and can charge an EV up to 80% in 30 minutes, making them suitable for
long-distance travel. However, DC charging stations are more expensive than AC charging
stations and require a more complex installation process.
Both AC and DC charging systems have their advantages and disadvantages. AC
charging systems are cheaper and more accessible, but they are slower and may not be
suitable for long-distance travel. DC charging systems are faster and more convenient for
long-distance travel, but they are more expensive and require a more complex installation
process.
2.3WirelessChargingTechnologies
Wireless charging technologies for electric vehicles (EVs) use electromagnetic fields to
transfer power from a charging infrastructure embedded in the road to the EV's battery. There
are two main types of wireless charging technologies: magnetic resonance and inductive
charging.
Magnetic resonance charging uses a resonant magnetic field to transfer power between
the charging infrastructure and the EV's charging receiver. The charging infrastructure
consists of charging coils embedded in the road, which generate a magnetic field when an
vii
alternating current is passed through them.
The EV's charging receiver is installed underneath the vehicle and picks up the
magnetic field, converting it into an electrical current to charge the battery. Magnetic
resonance charging can be used over longer distances than inductive charging and is suitable
for higher power charging.
Inductive charging uses a magnetic field to transfer power between the charging
infrastructure and the EV's charging receiver.
The charging infrastructure consists of a primary coil embedded in the road, which
generates a magnetic field when an alternating current is passed through it.
The EV's charging receiver is installed underneath the vehicle and picks up the
magnetic field, converting it into an electrical current to charge the battery. Inductive
charging is typically used for low-power charging and over shorter distances.
Both magnetic resonance and inductive charging technologies have their advantages
and disadvantages.
Magnetic resonance charging can be used over longer distances and is suitable for
higher power charging, but it is more expensive and less efficient compared to inductive
charging. Inductive charging is more efficient and less expensive, but it is limited to low-
power charging and shorter distances
The Advanced Dynamic Charging System (ADCS) is a wireless charging system for
vii
electric vehicles (EVs) that allows for charging while driving. This technology has gained
significant attention in recent years due to its potential to address some of the key challenges
of EVs, such as limited driving range, long charging times, and the need for frequent
charging stops. In this literature review, we will explore some of the recent studies and
research on the ADCS technology.
One study by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) analyzed the
potential benefits of the ADCS technology for reducing range anxiety, increasing vehicle
range, and improving the utilization of charging infrastructure. The study found that the
ADCS technology has the potential to significantly reduce range anxiety and increase vehicle
range, leading to a higher adoption rate of EVs. Additionally, the ADCS technology can
improve the utilization of charging infrastructure, reducing the need for building more
charging stations and minimizing the impact on the power grid.
Another study by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) evaluated
the technical feasibility and economic viability of the ADCS technology. The study found
that the ADCS technology is technically feasible and can provide a high level of convenience
and efficiency for EV users.
However, the deployment of the ADCS technology requires significant investment
and planning for the installation of charging infrastructure in the road network. The study
concluded that the ADCS technology has the potential to become economically viable in the
long term, as the technology matures and the cost of infrastructure deployment decreases.
A recent review article by researchers at the University of Warwick discussed the
current state of the ADCS technology and its potential to revolutionize the future of EVs. The
article highlighted the advantages of the ADCS technology, such as the convenience of
charging while driving, the reduction in charging time, and the improved utilization of
charging infrastructure.
vii
However, the article also noted some of the challenges of the technology, such as the
high cost of infrastructure deployment and the need for standardization of the technology to
ensure interoperability between different manufacturers.
In conclusion, the ADCS technology has the potential to address some of the key
challenges of EVs and provide a convenient and sustainable solution for the future of electric
mobility. However, the deployment of the technology requires significant investment and
planning for the installation of charging infrastructure in the road network.
Further research and development are needed to address some of the technical and
economic challenges of the technology and to ensure interoperability and standardization of
the technology.

such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, to exchange data between the charging infrastructure and the
EV's charging receiver. The system also includes sensors and control algorithms to regulate
the charging process, ensuring the safety and efficiency of the system.
Overall, the system design and architecture of the ADCS enable EVs to charge while
driving, providing a convenient and sustainable solution for the future of electric mobility.
The deployment of the ADCS technology requires significant investment and planning for
the installation of charging infrastructure in the road network. However, the technology has
the potential to significantly reduce range anxiety, increase vehicle range, and improve the
utilization of charging infrastructure, leading to a higher adoption rate of EVs.

EVs while driving, providing a convenient and sustainable solution for electric mobility.
The control algorithms used in the ADCS are designed to ensure the safety and
efficiency of the charging process. The algorithms monitor the temperature and voltage of the
charging components, and adjust the power flow accordingly to prevent overheating or
overcharging of the battery. The algorithms also optimize the charging process to ensure that
the battery is charged as quickly and efficiently as possible, while minimizing the impact on
the battery's lifespan.
The software components of the ADCS are also responsible for ensuring the
interoperability and standardization of the charging system. The software ensures that the
EV's charging receiver is compatible with the charging infrastructure, and that the
vii
communication and control system can communicate with different types of EVs.
Overall, the software components of the ADCS are essential for the operation and
control of the charging system, ensuring the safety, efficiency, and interoperability of the
system.
vii
charging infrastructure can adjust the charging power based on the EV's battery capacity,
temperature, and charging status. The charging infrastructure can also communicate with the
EV's onboard computer to optimize the charging process, such as reducing the charging
power during peak energy demand or increasing the charging power when renewable energy
is available.
The communication system also enables the charging infrastructure to collect data on
the charging process and transmit it to a central database for analysis and monitoring. The
data collected can include the charging power, time, duration, and location of the charging
events, as well as the EV's battery status and charging history. This data can be used to
optimize the charging infrastructure, monitor its performance, and plan for future expansion.
The testing and validation of the Advanced Dynamic Charging System (ADCS) are crucial to
ensure the safety, efficiency, and reliability of the system. The testing and validation process
involves a series of tests, experiments, and simulations to verify the performance and
functionality of the system.
The testing and validation of the ADCS can be divided into three main categories:
Component-level testing:
This involves testing individual components of the ADCS, such as the
charging infrastructure, the EV's charging receiver, and the communication and
control system. The testing involves verifying the electrical, mechanical, and
thermal performance of the components, as well as their compatibility and
interoperability with other components.

This involves testing the complete ADCS system, including the charging
infrastructure, the EV's charging receiver, and the communication and control
system. The testing involves verifying the system's performance under different
vii
operating conditions, such as varying temperatures, charging capacities, and
charging rates. The testing also involves verifying the system's safety features,
such as overcharging protection, thermal management, and fault detection.

This involves testing the ADCS in real-world conditions, such as on public
roads or in commercial fleets. The field testing involves monitoring the system's
performance, reliability, and user experience, as well as identifying any issues or
challenges that may arise during actual use.
The testing and validation process also involves simulation and modeling, using computer
models to predict the behavior and performance of the system under different scenarios.
The simulation and modeling can help identify potential issues and optimize the system's
performance before actual testing.
vii
Operational data
It includes information related to the charging process, such as the charging power,
duration, time, and location of the charging event.
The operational data can also include information related to the EV's battery status,
such as the state of charge (SOC), the charging rate, and the temperature.
The operational data is collected by the communication system, which communicates
with the charging infrastructure and the EV's charging receiver.

and the EV's charging receiver.
The diagnostic data can include information on any faults, errors, or malfunctions that
may occur during the charging process. The diagnostic data can be collected by the charging
infrastructure, the EV's onboard computer, or the communication system.
The data collected by the ADCS can be stored in a central database, where it can be
analyzed and used for monitoring, optimization, and planning purposes.
The data can be analyzed to identify patterns and trends, such as the charging behavior
of EVs, the demand for charging infrastructure, and the performance of the charging system
vii
under different conditions.
The data can also be used to optimize the charging process, such as by adjusting the
charging power based on the EV's battery status, or by scheduling charging events to avoid
peak demand periods.
Data Pre-processing:
Once the data has been collected, it must be pre-processed to ensure that it is in
a format that can be easily analyzed.
This may involve removing duplicate entries, dealing with missing data, and
transforming data into a standardized format.
Exploratory Data Analysis:
vii
Modeling:
Once the data has been analyzed, a model can be developed that captures the
relationship between charging behavior and various parameters such as battery
capacity, charging rate, and vehicle usage patterns. The model can be used to
predict charging behavior and optimize charging rates for individual EVs.
Model Evaluation:
After the model has been developed, it must be evaluated to ensure that it
accurately captures the behavior of EV drivers. This may involve comparing the
model's predictions to actual charging behavior and refining the model as necessary.
Implementation:
Once the model has been developed and evaluated, it can be integrated into the
dynamic charging system. The system can then use real-time data to adjust charging
rates for individual EVs and optimize the charging process.
CHAPTER 4: CHARGING
vii
• It is the only solution for future automation EV. It is also known as a "roadway
powered" [96], "on-line" or "in- motion" .
• The primary coils are embedded into the road concrete at a certain distance with high
voltage, high frequency AC source and compensation circuits to the micro grid and/or
RES
• Like static-WEVCS, the secondary coil is mounted underneath the vehicles. When the
EVS pass over the transmitter, it receives a magnetic field through a receiver coil and
converts it to DC to charge the battery bank by utilising the power converter and BMS.
Frequent charging facilities of EVs reduces the overall battery requirement by
approximately 20% in comparison to the current EVs.
• In the centralized power supply scheme, a large coil (around 5-10 m) is installed on
the road surface, where multiple small charging pads are utilized. In comparison with
the segmented scheme, the centralized scheme has higher losses, lower efficiency
including high installation, and higher maintenance costs.
vii
• Overall, the installation of initial infrastructure for this technology would be costly.
With the help of a self-driving car in future, it will help to create the perfect alignment
between the transmitter and receiver coils which can significantly improve the overall
power transfer efficiency.
The wireless charging system in the ADCS is designed to work at high power levels
and over relatively long distances, so that EVs can be charged while they are moving. The
system uses a technique called resonant magnetic coupling, which allows power to be
transferred over a distance of several inches or feet, depending on the design of the system.
The wireless charging system in the ADCS is typically made up of two main
components: the charging pad and the receiver coil. The charging pad is typically installed in
the road surface, and contains a series of coils that generate the electromagnetic field that will
transfer power to the vehicle. The receiver coil is located on the underside of the EV, and is
vii
designed to resonate at the same frequency as the charging pad, which maximizes the amount
of power that can be transferred.
The wireless charging system in the ADCS also includes a control system that
manages the charging process. This system ensures that the charging pad and receiver coil are
properly aligned, and that the power transfer is efficient and safe. The control system may
also include sensors and feedback mechanisms that can adjust the charging parameters based
on the condition of the EV battery, the speed of the vehicle, and other factors.
Overall, the wireless charging system in the ADCS is a critical component of this
technology, and enables EVs to be charged while they are in motion, which could
significantly increase the range and flexibility of electric transportation.
Renewable energy sources (RES) have been introduced to the microgrid but they have
limited support facilities
vii
The backup battery cells could be designed to have a relatively small capacity, since
they would only be used in emergency situations. However, they would need to be capable of
delivering a high current, since they would need to power the EV's motor and other electrical
systems. They could be designed to recharge themselves using the ADCS when it is
available, or through a traditional charging system when the vehicle is parked.
The backup battery cells could be integrated into the EV's existing battery pack, or
they could be installed as a separate module. They would need to be carefully managed and
monitored to ensure that they are charged and discharged properly, and to prevent
overloading or other safety issues.
Another option for backup power in the ADCS could be the use of a hybrid powertrain,
in which the EV is equipped with both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine.
The engine could be used as a backup power source in the event that the wireless charging
system is unavailable, allowing the vehicle to continue operating until the wireless charging
system is restored.
Overall, the use of backup battery cells or hybrid powertrains could provide an
important backup system for the ADCS, ensuring that EVs remain operational even in the
event of power outages or other disruptions to the wireless charging system.
32
4.3 High Voltage Circuit
The Advanced Dynamic Charging System (ADCS) requires a high voltage circuit to transfer
power from the charging pad to the electric vehicle (EV).
The high voltage circuit is responsible for converting the alternating current (AC)
from the power source into a high frequency alternating current, which is then transmitted
wirelessly to the EV.
The high voltage circuit typically consists of several key components, including:
1. Power electronics:
The power electronics are responsible for converting the AC power from the
grid into a high frequency AC signal that can be transmitted wirelessly to the EV.
This typically involves the use of an inverter, which converts the DC power
from the grid into an AC signal that can be adjusted to match the resonant frequency of
the charging pad.
2. Resonant circuit:
The resonant circuit consists of a series of capacitors and inductors that are
33
tuned to the resonant frequency of the charging pad. This allows for efficient power
transfer, as the energy is transmitted wirelessly from the charging pad to the EV
through the resonant circuit.
3. Transmission coil:
The transmission coil is located in the charging pad, and is responsible for
generating the electromagnetic field that transfers power to the receiver coil in the EV.
4. Receiver coil:
The receiver coil is located in the EV, and is responsible for receiving the
electromagnetic field generated by the transmission coil. This energy is then converted
back into electrical power that can be used to charge the EV's battery.
5. Control circuitry:
The control circuitry is responsible for managing the power transfer between the
charging pad and the EV. This typically involves the use of sensors and feedback
mechanisms to ensure that the power transfer is efficient and safe.
Overall, the high voltage circuit in the ADCS plays a critical role in enabling wireless power
transfer between the charging pad and the EV. The circuit must be carefully designed and
managed to ensure that power is transferred efficiently and safely, while minimizing losses
and maximizing the range and performance of the EV.

follow best practices in system design and testing, including thorough risk assessments and
validation testing. Regular maintenance and monitoring are also important to ensure that the
system continues to operate safely and reliably over time. In addition, ongoing training and
education for EV drivers can help to ensure that they understand how to safely and
effectively use the charging system.
