WTP not only allows battery charging with no interaction, but also can provide a solution to charge batteries with the vehicle in movement, reducing the battery’s size and cost. With a clear research line on electric vehicle battery charging, this technology is analysed to provide a measuring procedure which offers reliable results. Parameters needed to characterize the coupling are the coils self-inductances, coil resistances, mutual inductance between the coils, and the magnetic field. A setup is created to test inductive links, and a WPT system is optimized and crafted.
