==CAPACITIVE POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18482080 titled 'CAPACITIVE POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a power transfer system for electric vehicles using capacitive coupling between conductor plates in the EVSE and the EV.

* The system includes an EVSE providing power to an EV, with a first conductor plate connected to the EVSE and a compensation circuit transferring power to it.
* A second conductor plate in the EV is connected to the electric power reception device, and a secondary-side circuit transfers power to a load.
* Electric power is transferred from the EVSE to the EV through capacitive coupling between the first and second conductor plates.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology can be applied in electric vehicle charging systems, wireless power transfer systems, and smart grid infrastructure.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology eliminates the need for physical connectors, reducing wear and tear, and simplifying the charging process for electric vehicles.

== Benefits ==
The system offers a more convenient and efficient way to charge electric vehicles, reducing maintenance costs and improving user experience.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Commercial applications include electric vehicle charging stations, smart homes, and public infrastructure for wireless power transfer.

== Possible Prior Art ==
Prior art may include wireless power transfer systems using inductive coupling or physical connectors for electric vehicle charging.

== Unanswered Questions ==

=== How efficient is the power transfer through capacitive coupling compared to other methods? ===
The efficiency of power transfer through capacitive coupling compared to other methods would depend on factors such as distance between the plates, insulation materials used, and power levels.

=== What safety measures are in place to prevent electrical hazards during power transfer? ===
Safety measures such as insulation monitoring, fault detection systems, and grounding techniques are essential to prevent electrical hazards during power transfer in capacitive coupling systems.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A power transfer system includes an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) for providing electric power to an electric vehicle (EV) and an electric power reception device mounted in the EV; a first conductor plate electrically connected to a primary-side circuit of the EVSE; a compensation circuit for transferring a power input signal of the EVSE to the first conductor plate; a second conductor plate disposed in the EV and connected to the electric power reception device; and a secondary-side circuit for transferring a power signal received by the second conductor plate to a load, where the electric power is transferred from the EVSE to the EV by capacitive coupling between the first conductor plate and the second conductor plate.
