Desirable skills/interests: Simulation engineering and modelling; Systems engineering; Control engineering; Industrial design; Mechanical and manufacturing engineering; Automation; Computer aided design.
Objectives: Design and experimental validation of a bidirectional wireless charging systems optimized for high efficiency and misalignment tolerance under real-world EV parking conditions. The DC will integrate electromagnetic design, adaptive impedance matching, and converter control to maintain ≥90% efficiency at ±100 mm misalignment. Using multi-objective optimization and hardware prototyping aligned with SAE J2954 standards, the work will deliver validated designs and control strategies, contributing to IEEE P2030.1.1 and IEC 61980 standardization.
Project: Optimizing efficiency and misalignment tolerance in bidirectional wireless charging systems for electric vehicles (WP4)
