To achieve national climate protection goals,
the decarbonisation of the transport sector is of primordial
importance. However, the development of electromobility is still
slowed down by high investment costs on one side and missing
suitability for daily usage on the other.
By means of wireless power transfer (WPT) through inductive
coupling, the user comfort during the charging process can
be increased significantly which leads to a wider adoption of
electric vehicles (EV). Unfortunately, the contactless charging
technology is still at an early stage of market maturity for
domestic application. As a consequence, it cannot compensate
the elevated capital costs by its additional benefits alone: On
the one hand, comfort gain does not represent an economically
determinable benefit and on the other, revenues from power
factor correction are irrelevant for domestic usage.
All the same, the additional investment costs for inductive
charging infrastructure can be amortised when taking fully
advantage of the EV flexibility and the prosumer’s local power
generation. The present paper1 therefore aims to identify
necessary conditions for long-term profitability of residential
prosumers with inductive EV-charging infrastructure by means
of advanced energy simulations in Matlab/Simulink
R . Primary purpose of this study is a comprehensive presentation to what
extend wireless EV charging in home application can already
be cost-effective in order to further promote electromobility.
