Project Description<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Overview: The rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has increased the demand for efficient and user-friendly charging solutions. Conventional plug-in charging systems require manual operation and are not compatible with fully autonomous systems. Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) offers a promising alternative by enabling contactless charging. However, its efficiency is highly sensitive to coil misalignment, which poses a major challenge in real-world applications. This project aims to integrate autonomous alignment technology with wireless charging, enabling a vehicle to automatically position itself for optimal charging without human intervention.<\/li>\n
  2. Project Objectives
    \n–Design a wireless charging system for electric vehicle (electrical scooter)
    \n–Develop an autonomous alignment system
    \n–Integrate sensing, control, and power systems<\/li>\n
  3. System Overview
    \nThe system includes:
    \n-Solar power generation and energy storage system
    \n– Wireless Power Transfer System
    \n– Alignment Monitoring and Autonomous Motion Control System<\/li>\n
  4. Subtasks
    \nSubtask 1 (2-3 students): Solar power generation and energy storage system: solar panel, dc-dc converter, MPPT control, energy storage integration.
    \nSubtask 2 (2-3 students): Wireless Power Transfer System: Coil design, inverter, rectifier, efficiency analysis.
    \nSubtask 3(3-4 students): Alignment detection, sensors (camera\/ultrasonic), position estimation, and motion control<\/li>\n
  5. Methodology
    \nLiterature review, simulation, hardware development, algorithm design, integration, testing<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
