In the past decade, using contactless energy transmission systems (CET) has gained tremendous attention in providing the energy for electronic and electrical systems. Safety, convenience in transmitting the energy, and its suitability in hazardous applications due to the elimination of sparking and electrical shock risks are considered as the benefits of contactless energy transmission systems comparing to conventional energy transmission techniques using wires and connectors. CET systems make it possible to transmit electric power from a few mili-watts to hundreds of kilowatts without contact, in distances from several millimeters to a few meters. As a result, CET systems have found so many applications from supplying the microelectronic implants in human body to charging the electronic equipment remotely and providing the energy for electrical and electronic systems. One promising application of these systems is the contactless charging of the electric vehicles. The increasing need for traortation systems and automobiles due to growth of worldwide populations has caused several problems such as global warming, pollution and depletion of petroleum resources. To address this in the traortation area, automobile manufacturers have been developing electric vehicles (EVs) such as hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in HEVs, pure EVs (PEVs), and others which utilize clean energy as their predominant energy source. However, EV is not yet welcomed into the markets by potential customers due to drawbacks such as its high price, heaviness, and the large space required by its battery, a driving range shorter than that of a normally fueled car, a long charging time, and the frequent charging requirements. First approach to solve such problem is to increase the charging power level and continuous charging. Increasing power level in wire-based charging system causes several difficulties such as limitation in transmission for public and residential places. Using contactless energy transfer (the process of transferring power to an electrical load without any physical interconnection with the source); it is possible to charge electric vehicle without wire and in a more convenient and safer way. Also it is possible to charge electric vehicle while traveling which decreases the required capacity. In this project, the inductive link of a contactless energy transmission system according to the electric vehicle charging standards has been designed, and the system parameters are optimized to achieve the best performance while the minimum copper volume is needed. The analytical model of the system based on the system geometry has been proposed and the accuracy is verified using finite element simulation of the system and developing a prototype. Also the electromagnetic interference problem (EMI) within the system is studied and it is proven that the system performance is compatible with the related standards.
