Energy-security-based contactless battery charging system for roadway-powered electric vehicles

This paper proposes an encrypted contactless charging system for roadway-powered electric vehicles (EVs), where the energy can be specifically transferred from the electric supply to authorized EVs. The key of the proposed energy encryption scheme is to utilize the random-like Gaussian map as the security key to chaotically regulate the charging circuit of the electric supply. In such way, the energy can be wirelessly transferred to authorized EVs, while unauthorized EVs cannot illegally acquire the electric energy without knowledge of the security key. Hence, the proposed energy encryption scheme can significantly improve the secure performance of the roadway EV charging system. In this paper, the simulated and experimental results are both provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed the encrypted contactless charging system for multiple roadway-powered EVs.
