Definitions
- the present invention relates to a power supply device and a power acquisition device for an electromagnetic induction-powered electric vehicle; and, more particularly, to a power supply device and a power acquisition device for such an electric vehicle, which can enhance a power transfer efficiency thereof by minimizing a gap between the power supply device embedded in a road and the power acquisition device attached to the vehicle.
- An electromagnetic induction charging system for an electric vehicle has been proposed as an alternative to the battery-type electric vehicle system; however, the former is known to suffer from the low power transfer efficiency.

- University of California at Berkeley has developed an electromagnetic induction charging system for an electric vehicle that allows the electric vehicle to operate with a gap of at most 7cm between a primary coil embedded in the road and a secondary coil attached to the electric vehicle.
- a power transfer efficiency of about 60% can be achieved by the electromagnetic induction charging system developed by the PATH.
- E-shaped magnetic cores having a lateral width of about 100cm are used for a power supply device and a power acquisition device, respectively, and if a center of the power acquisition device attached to the electric vehicle is deviated 5 cm or more from a center of the power supply device to a lateral direction, the primary coil winding around the center portion of the magnetic core of the power supply device and the secondary coil winding around the center portion of the magnetic core of the power acquisition device will get out of alignment, thereby reducing the efficiency of power transfer by 10% or more.
- the electric vehicle In order to avoid such a situation, therefore, it is necessary for a driver to carefully drive an electric vehicle along the median area of a lane on the road.
