This paper aims to investigate the dynamic charging performance of an 11 kW dynamic inductive power transfer (DIPT) system. First, a multi-objective optimization (MOO) method is proposed to find the Pareto front of the DD charging pad. Then, the optimal design with a 96.82% efficiency is selected as the target design for the DIPT system. Based on the coupler mutual inductance at different misalignment, the orientation of the transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) pads and the distance between Tx pads are studied and optimized. To obtain the dynamic characteristics of the DIPT system, the impact of mutual inductance variation is investigated, and a dynamic model using Laplace phasor transformation is built to solve the waveform amplitude of electrical variables. Finally, a time-variant circuit model is built. Based on the simulations, the dynamic model is proved to be accurate, and the proposed DIPT system displays a good dynamic charging performance.
