PPPEAC hosted an IEEE PELS Distinguished Lecture on Monday, November 30, 2020, from 5:00 to 6:00 PM ET. The lecture ran on Zoom, hosted by Temple University. Prof. Udaya K. Madawala of the University of Auckland was the speaker.
Bi-directional Wireless Power Transfer Technologies for V2G-H2V Applications
Electric vehicles can act as mobile energy storage for vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services. The talk focuses on inductive power transfer (IPT) as a way to charge and discharge EVs without a cable. It also covers standards, open challenges, future directions, and recent advances in bi-directional wireless power transfer.
