Description
In this study, the electromagnetic field (EMF) safety assessment of a dynamic wireless power transfer (DWPT) system during charging operations of a moving compact electric vehicle (EV) is evaluated. Specifically, different positions of the DWPT coils that account for the in-motion EV are considered for both aligned and misaligned configurations. Compliance with international safety standards has proven that reference levels (RLs) are exceeded in the extreme case of a bystander near the car (about 0.5 m in the sidewalk and 1 m in the crossing walk). In contrast, RLs are never exceeded for a passenger inside the car, at least for the considered scenarios. Future directions are also provided to reduce human exposure and improve EMF safety.
