Impact of dynamic EV wireless charging on the grid

Wireless electric vehicle charging will pose an additional strain on existing grid infrastructure. Additionally, dynamic or “on the move” charging schemes may result in increased demand variability due to fragmented charging duration caused by charging lane layouts and traffic. A simulation environment has been set up in order to; assess the impact of dynamic wireless charging on the grid, evaluate energy storage requirements for demand smoothing and finally to explore the possibility of integrating solar energy into the dynamic wireless charging infrastructure.
