Abstract:
An apparatus for multi-pad wireless charging is disclosed. The apparatus includes a plurality of primary pad apparatuses. Each primary pad apparatus is positioned to transmit power to a secondary pad apparatus of a vehicle. The primary transmitter pad apparatuses are spaced apart sufficient for each of a plurality of vehicles to be positioned over one primary pad apparatus of the plurality of primary pad apparatuses. The apparatus includes a power converter apparatus connected to each of the plurality of primary pad apparatuses, a power feed that provides power to the power converter apparatus and a sharing controller that selectively controls which of the plurality of primary pad apparatuses transmits power to a secondary pad apparatus and/or controls power sharing between the primary pad apparatuses.
