Abstract

Today, it is not a leap to consider that electrification is the future. As electric vehicles dominate the transportation system, there is an increasing power demand on the utility grid to support oncoming customers. The current utility infrastructure of transformers, low voltage transmission lines, and AC main systems will soon be unable to supply enough power from the medium voltage transmission lines. Replacing this infrastructure will come at a high cost and years of construction. Therefore, there has been a growing need for creative and adaptable solutions to support the current grid infrastructure as well as meeting the power demand. Solutions include static wireless charging, dynamic wireless charging, and AC to DC converters that are capable of processing high power from relatively high input voltages.
