Abstract

Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer (DWPT) revolutionises Electric Vehicles EVs by enabling on-the-go recharging through electromagnetic induction between a primary coil beneath the road and a secondary coil in the vehicle. Addressing EV limitations like range and recharging time, DWPT could drive EV adoption, especially among high-mileage vehicles, crucial for carbon emission reduction. The Dynacov project, led by Coventry City Council and funded by Western Power Distribution, aimed to develop DWPT and create an ecosystem for secure, automated wireless charging based on ISO 15118 standards . Targeting buses, heavy goods transport, and strategic road networks, this initiative involves Coventry University and Cenex in Systems Modelling activities to assess deployment areas and electrical grid impacts. Kenilworth Road in Coventry was chosen for DWPT feasibility assessment due to its varied traffic conditions and feasibility for infrastructure installation. Surveys confirmed viability and grid capacity to handle peak power demands. The initial project, constrained by the grid’s capability at 150kW, aimed to simultaneously charge two vehicles. This technology could transform transportation and sustainability, but the next steps involve accurately estimating project costs for technology procurement, installation, grid connection, and project management. DWPT, showcased in Dynacov, holds the potential to reshape EV charging dynamics..
