Introduction: Network impact of high power inductive transfer systems on the power network for a scheduled bus route. The key research elements of this project from a networks perspective will be focussed on the demand profiles and power quality issues (voltage and harmonics), and safety issues regarding the emfs.

Objectives: Demonstration of high power inductive transfer systems on electric bus route. This project builds on an earlier project to include more buses and an additional charge point to prove the technology in a commercial environment, and higher power transfer taking the technology to the next TRL level.
