The aim of this paper is to propose a design method for the double-sided LCC compensation circuit for 6.6kW electric vehicle (EVs) wireless charger. The analysis and comparison with several compensation topologies such as SS, SP, PS, PP and the hybrid LCC compensation is presented. It has been found that the hybrid LCC compensation has superior performance in comparison with other topologies. The design procedure for the EV charger is presented and the PSIM simulation results are provided.

Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) method becomes more and more popular for the Electric Vehicle (EV) battery charger due to its convenience and safety in comparison with plugged-in charger. In recent years, Lithium batteries are increasingly used in EVs and Constant Current/Constant Voltage (CC/CV) charge needs to be adopted for the high efficiency charge. However, it is not easy to design the IPT Battery Charger which can charge the battery with CC/CV charge under the wide range of load variation due to the wide range of variation in its operating frequency. This paper propose a new design and control method which makes it possible to implement the CC/CV mode charge with minimum frequency variation (less than 1kHz) during all over the charge process. A 6.6kW prototype charge has been implemented and 96.1% efficiency was achieved with 20cm air gap between the coils.
