Abstract

Wireless power transfer (WPT) for electric vehicles (EV) is a promising technology that can help with e-mobility because of its convenience and ability to reduce range anxiety issues. The safety concerns of such systems have received a lot of attention recently. Magnetic coupler is the most important component of WPT systems in terms of thermal safety as its temperature rises because of power outages during the charging process, which could cause damage to the surroundings and other components associated with the system. This article proposes a new thermal and magnetic coupler design by utilizing a Silicon-Cobalt wafer using the Spin Seebeck effect (SSE) phenomenon fabricated through the sputtering technique which can enhance the efficiency of the transmission coil as well as act as a heat exchanger to remove the heat from the coil as well as reduce temperature with the design model.
