In this paper, safe operating conditions of a wireless power transfer coil were identified and road infrastructure for a dynamic wireless electric vehicle charging system was studied. Magneto-thermal simulations were used to map the power loss directly into the computed fluid dynamics solver. This method allowed the authors to analyze the heating pattern of the enclosed wireless power transfer coil in the road structure, as well as for the vehicle coil. Thermal heating patterns for three types of rectangular coil structures were analyzed. Heating patterns were analyzed for 200 kW coils and different magnetic field densities in the magnetic core.
