The primary objective of the research work of the subproject ”Interoperables Sekundärsystem für Niedervoltfahrzeuge (ifak)” in the cooperation project InterOP is the holistic study and development of appropriate solutions to ensure user friendly and safer charging systems for electric vehicles based on the technology of contactless energy transfer. Furthermore methods and system approaches for the optimisation of the magnetic transmission systems of contactless inductive systems and for the automation loading process shall be developed as well as accompanying tests to ensure interoperability shall be performed.
The complexity of non-contact systems and the inherent questions about security (magnetic and electric fields, health issues) regarding use in public areas represent a new challenge. In particular the application specific issues in the field of electromagnetic (EMC) and environmental compatibility (EMEC) as well as basic safety aspects will be studied in this part of the project.
The second objective is to demonstrate the interoperability of secondary vehicle systems with low-voltage technology. It begins by focusing on the implementation in the planned electric vehicles of the overall project. In the medium term other vehicle classes, such as materials-handling technology (forklifts), electric two-wheelers, industrial conveyor systems or various mobility equipment in the medical field, shall also be considered. The research work focuses particularly on the design and the development of a suitable coil system and the required voltage adjustment.
