Feasibility study on applicability of dynamic IPT (Induction Power Transfer) for a sustainable and environment low impact electric mobility

Abstract

The study investigated the state of the art of IPT technology and its application to electric mobility in the motorway sector. On the basis of the vast bibliography analyzed, a feasibility project was developed based on the following pillars: 1) The reasons that lead to the development of IPT technology in the motorway field, 2) the choice and study of a motorway route, 3) related implementation aspects to the choice of materials and methods of inclusion of power transmission technology in the motorway surface, analysis of charging efficiency based on the number of on-board receivers (case studies with 1 or 2 receivers), 4) analysis of sustainability issues energy based on the motorway speeds of the vehicles considered (TESLA 3, TESLA S, TESLA). Ultimately, we verified the positive correlation between the results of our study and the ongoing results of the "Arena del Futuro" project, the first example of technological transfer and joint experimentation between authoritative universities, highways, and primary international industrial groups in the automotive, components sector. and electrical equipment, telecommunications
