Abstract :Recently, with the developing environmental awareness, electric vehicles are increasing even more. For this reason, different searches have emerged to solve the problems related to meeting the energy needs of electric vehicles and charging their batteries quickly and reliably. One of these ideas is wireless power transfer (WPT) battery charging systems, which researchers have focused on for the past two decades. In this study, a wireless charging station that can be used to charge the batteries of electric vehicles is designed and examined by applying it to a prototype vehicle. Also, it is examined that the designed system can be adapted with renewable energy sources (such as solar energy) independently of a local energy source. It is aimed with the WPT prototype to realize a more efficient system for the 10 W power level and 86 kHz. The electromagnetic modelling of WPT is designed using ANSYS-Electronics/Maxwell software. Ultimately, the power electronics circuit performance of this system was analyzed with ANSYS Electronics / Simplorer software for co-simulation.
