Master thesis: Simulation of electric vehicle wireless charging in electrified road

AVL List GmbH, Graz

AVL is the world's largest independent company for development of powertrains (combustion engines, hybrid systems, electric drive) as well as simulation and test systems for passenger cars, trucks and marine engines.

Through the shift in the automobile industry to electrified powertrains, the demand for fast and innovative charging solutions is steadily growing. Currently, resonant coupling of wireless charging can be achieved in static conditions and is commercially available. On the other hand, wireless charging roads are still in a very early development phase and need to be further studied.

Task:

Literature study
Electromagnetic simulation of wireless power transfer system in dynamic conditions
Study of efficiency and electric field emissions
Analysis of wireless charging system interaction with HV system of the vehicle
Reporting and summarizing the methodology

Study:

Electrical, Electronic or Mechanical engineering, Technical physics

Requirements:

Experience in electric circuit simulation and electronics is appreciated
Language: English or German

Remuneration: The successful completion of the thesis is remunerated with a one-time fee of EUR 2,500 before tax.
