FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

Figure 2 – Example of MF-D-WPT system

In dynamic wireless power transfer (D-WPT) system for electric vehicles, primary infrastructure
is divided into several segments. Only small number of segments will be turned on at specific
time for dynamic wireless power transfer while electric vehicle passes by those segments. In
order to support this segment switching operation, wireless communication support with low
latency and P2PS signalling can be used.

7.2.6 Safety performance
In the event of an emergency shutdown condition, the supply device shall immediately reduce
primary device coil current to zero and turn off all high voltages in order to make the system
safe.
7.3 Efficiency
Additional subclauses:
7.3.1 General
The power transfer efficiency in case of D-WPT is the ratio of the sum of the output power (i.e.
energy) in the EVPC divided by the sum of the input power (i.e. energy) in the SPC for each
segment from the phase "inverter rise" to the phase "inverter fall".
Measured efficiency values according to 7.3.3 are representative values for evaluating products,
but they do not correspond to actual efficiency values.
NOTE 1 Measurement of the power transfer efficiency and determination of conformance with the eventual
requirements in this document will be made by a test vehicle receiving energy while in motion over a test track with
the candidate supply device(s) installed and reference EVPCs installed on the test vehicle. In order to develop
confidence that the supply device being developed will meet the performance requirements, there are preliminary
steps which can give theoretical results that can indicate likelihood of conformance. These are specified in 7.3.2 and
7.3.3.
NOTE 2 The static measurement on the efficiency of D-WPT with dynamic parameters includes speed information,
which is an important difference between static and dynamic WPT. Although it is possible the D-WPT efficiency
measurement does not exactly match reality, efficiency can be expressed in a normalized equation. The D-WPT
efficiency measurement method includes factors such as segment length, vehicle speed, and waiting time to derive
efficiency that is close to reality.
7.3.2 Dynamic power transfer phases
The phases described in 7.3.2 are relevant for the determination of the electrical efficiency of
D-WPT systems. These phases apply while a vehicle is driving over a road D-WPT segment,
having requested wireless power from that segment. The requirement for power transfer
efficiency in under consideration.

7.3.3 Brief description of the individual phases
7.3.3.1 Phase "inverter rise"
Phase required to ramp up the high frequency inverter that provides current to the primary coil
to a ready state just prior to power transfer to a secondary coil
Inverter rise is the phase from P to P . At the light load condition,
quiescent_standby quiescent_prepower
the rated current is supplied to the primary coil. The rated current is maintained before the
inverter fall.
7.3.3.2 Phase "pre-power"
Phase "pre-power" is the period that the high frequency primary inverter remains in a ready
state after the inverter rise time and before power transfer to a secondary coil begins.
7.3.3.3 Phase "power transfer ramp-up"
Phase "power transfer ramp-up" is the period required for the secondary to ramp up from zero
power to its peak or steady-state received power level when coupling to a single segment.
7.3.3.4 Phase "power transfer ramp-down"
Phase "power transfer ramp-down" is the period required for the secondary to ramp down from
its peak or steady-state power level to zero power when decoupling from a single segment.
7.3.3.5 Phase "inverter fall"
Phase required for the high frequency primary inverter to ramp down the current to the primary
coil to be in a standby state. Inverter rise is the phase from P to
