This book addresses critical challenges in achieving efficient energy transfer in wireless electric vehicle charging. It shows the application of innovative control strategies, advanced modulation techniques, and optimized compensation networks to improve the efficiency of inductive power transfer systems. Upon analyzing the effects of load variations, parameter drifts, and diverse output voltages, it discusses solutions that maintain high efficiency under realistic operating conditions. Thanks to the integration of rigorous theoretical analysis and practical implementation strategies, this outstanding PhD thesis offers a comprehensive approach to overcoming real-world limitations in wireless electric vehicle charging, and original ideas to further develop inductive power transfer for other possible applications.
