Wireless Vehicle to Grid Systems – Recent Technological Advances

Recent introduction of bidirectional IPT (BD-IPT) technologies not only improve system efficiency and flexibility, but also enables wireless Vehicle to Grid/Grid to Vehicle (V2G/G2V) services. These services, which are expected to become an integral part of future EV charging infrastructure, include the absorption of power variances produced by renewable energy sources, reactive power injection for grid voltage regulation and harmonics absorption for improved power quality. Overall, such services can further enhance the use of renewable energy sources, while also providing an additional revenue stream for EV owners. The first part of this presentation intends to introduce widely reported bi-directional inductive power transfer (BD-IPT) systems along with a comparison. This will be followed by a discussion on latest technological developments, including details of BD-IPT systems that are also capable of providing grid services. The presentation will conclude highlighting current challenges and future directions.
