  • Publication number: 20240067007
    Abstract: Methods and systems for precision charging control of a vehicle include at least a wireless charging antenna carried by a vehicle and in electrical communication with a vehicle propulsion system. A plurality of wireless charging antennae is associated with a charging surface and is in communication with at least a control system and a power source. An authentication connection is established between the vehicle wireless charging antenna and the control system which uses a timestamping technique. The wireless charging antenna carried by the vehicle is paired with one or more of the plurality of wireless charging antennae associated with the charging surface by triggering a dynamic seek operation or establishing a connection based on a timestamped location point. Transfer of a quantity of electrical energy between the first wireless charging antenna and the one of the plurality of second wireless charging antennae is adaptively controlled.

  • Patent number: 11845347
    Abstract: Methods and systems for precision charging control of an untethered vehicle include at least a wireless charging antenna carried by a vehicle and in electrical communication with a vehicle propulsion system. A plurality of wireless charging antennae is positioned on or within a roadway and are in communication with at least a roadway control system and a power source. An authentication connection is established between the vehicle wireless charging antenna and the roadway control system. A dynamic seek operation is triggered between the first wireless charging antenna and the one of the plurality of second wireless charging antennae to pair the first wireless charging antenna with the one of the plurality of second wireless charging antennae. A quantity of electrical energy is transferred between the first wireless charging antenna and the one of the plurality of second wireless charging antennae.
