Future of Dynamic Electric Vehicle Challenges and Solutions

Dynamic Electric Vehicles are an advanced, sustainable, alternative to traditional Electric Vehicle technology that reduces the major issues associated with traditional EV technology (i.e. range anxiety, long recharging times and the requirement of high-capacity batteries). The application of Dynamic Wireless Charging (DWC) systems and new smart energy systems will improve the performance and accelerate the adoption of EVs. The methodology for this study performs a longitudinal review of the literature addressing DWC systems and included a number of case study examples from the various previous works. DWC systems based on either inductive or resonant power transfer, V2I (vehicle-to-infrastructure) communication, integration with smart grid, improved battery technology and dynamic load management systems were evaluated. The results indicate that dynamic charging systems are technologically capable and will provide improved performance compared to traditional EVs based on the case studies that used from Europe, North America and China. The results of this research show that charging EVs will decrease the time that EVs spend while they are in movement. It will remove the range anxiety and reduce the amount of battery power that EVs require.
