Evaluating the Impact of Plain and Porous Concrete Coverings on Electromagnetic Induction Generated by a Basic Coil Setup

Integrating wireless charging into road networks represents a major leap in transportation engineering, enhancing sustainability and supporting the widespread use of electric vehicles (EVs). This innovation can mitigate range anxiety and simplify the charging process, reducing reliance on dedicated charging stations. This study examines the design of basic inductive primary and secondary coils, evaluating their performance when connected to individual or shared power sources. The study further explores the efficacy of magnetic flux generation with varying vertical and horizontal distances between the coils. This investigation aids in identifying the best coil positioning and configuration for efficient wireless power transfer. From the perspective of wireless power transfer, a charging infrastructure prototype is also made to investigate the influence of concrete plates on magnetic flux transmission. Comparative analyses between different conditions (no barrier, porous concrete plate, and PCC plate) highlight the distinct advantages of using porous plates, both vertically and horizontally. These insights are crucial for coil designing in wireless energy transfer technology, advancing sustainable transportation systems, and shaping the future of electric mobility.
