Abstract

The development and deployment of wireless power transfer (WPT) is increasing across industries including applications in healthcare, sensing and telecommunications, and electric vehicle charging due to its increased mobility and convenience. An important aspect of wireless power transfer is shielding to limit the intensity of electromagnetic fields (EMF) within external regions to protect users and nearby technology. Within this paper, the classifications and recent developments in shielding technologies are reviewed with discussion on potential benefits and drawbacks towards application for wireless charging of electric vehicles (EV). Additionally, a design study is proposed and simulated in 3D FEA for a novel active shield to substantially reduce magnetic field emissions of a high-power, high-frequency rotating-field 3-phase electromagnetic coupler for quickly charging electric vehicles. The active shield, designed to reduce Z-axis emissions, was found to be highly effective, reducing maximum EMF emissions by 83% in aligned static operation and by 50% with lateral misalignment. Active shielding was also found to strongly mitigate the impact of lateral misalignment at each studied partial alignment.
