A study on the improvement of efficiency in the light railway vehicle system using IPT

유도 급전을 이용한 경전철 시스템의 효율 개선에 대한 연구

This paper presents a potential for application of Inductive Power Transfer(IPT) to the light railway vehicle system. IPT system allows for a vehicle fitted with existing or new generation batteries to park over a small charging unit and commence charging immediately. Regular charging will allow for smaller batteries to be used in vehicles. In this paper, IPT system uses a full-bridge LLC resonant converter and is possible for the regenerative braking which is an energy recovery mechanism.
