Transmission lines effects on charging system for on-line electric vehicle sharing the same corridor

On-line electric vehicles (OLEVs) powered along their way by wireless power transfer (WPT) are an attractive option since they are convenient, safe, lightweight, and have unlimited cruising range by increasing the length of the power supply rails. There exists the possibility to run the rails and high voltage AC power lines parallel to each other in a relatively narrow strip of land. Due to this sharing of the right-of-way, power lines may lead to serious adverse effects. In this paper, a WPT system for OLEV is introduced and exposed under a 500kV single circuit horizontal transmission line. We discuss the possible effects of the phase conductors, low frequency magnetic field, induced voltage, and electromagnetic field exposure on the WPT system for OLEV charging by the transmission lines.
