The shielding technique by active coils is proposed to mitigate the magnetic field produced by a dynamic wireless power transfer (WPT) system for wireless recharging the batteries of in motion electrical vehicles (EVs). Active planar coils mounted in an electrified road with multiple-pads architecture are proposed. The active coils are adequately powered so that the field in surrounding of the electrified road is compliant with reference levels (RLs) of ICNIRP 2010 guideline. The influence of the active shielding system on the performance of the WPT system is also investigated.

This study deals with the optimization of a shielding structure composed by multiple active coils for mitigating the magnetic field in an automotive wireless power transfer (WPT) system at 85 kHz. Each active coil is independently powered and the most suitable excitation is obtained by an optimization procedure based on the Gradient Descent algorithm. The proposed procedure is described and applied to shield the magnetic field beside an electric vehicle (EV) equipped with SAE standard coils, during wireless charging.

An active coil system is proposed to shield the magnetic field produced by a dynamic wireless power transfer (WPT) system used to power electric vehicles (EVs) in motion. The considered dynamic WPT is based on an electrified road with many short-track pads. A sophisticated mathematical procedure is developed to optimize the design of the active coils configuration and their excitation.
