Overview

IEC PAS 61980-6:2025 defines communication and activity requirements for magnetic field dynamic wireless power transfer (MF-D-WPT) systems used to charge electric vehicles (EVs) while in motion. This Publicly Available Specification focuses on the operational and functional characteristics of MF‑D‑WPT communications and the associated positioning system needed to enable safe, interoperable dynamic wireless charging. It is intended to be applied together with IEC PAS 61980-5 and ISO 5474-6, ensuring supply devices and EV devices interoperate according to shared protocols and procedures.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Communication architecture and procedures: message sequences and state transitions for session setup, service request, compatibility checks, authentication, pairing, and termination.
• Power management signalling: unidirectional and bidirectional wireless signalling (including P2PS - point-to-point signalling) for negotiating and controlling power delivery.
• Positioning and alignment checks: functional requirements for lateral alignment, magnetic coupling verification, and positioning system interactions necessary for continuous dynamic charging.
• Power transfer operations: definitions for power transfer start/stop, inter‑inverter segment switching, stand-by and active power states, and controlled power transfer trajectories.
• Safety monitoring and diagnostics: ongoing monitoring, exception handling, wake‑up after power outage, and safety state transitions to protect vehicle and infrastructure.
• System architecture and components: informative annexes on supply-device to primary-device configurations, P2PS sensors, communication layers (vehicle ↔ supply ↔ cloud), segment switching strategies and use cases.
• State diagrams and sequences: comprehensive state models for supply devices (D‑SECC) and EV devices (D‑EVCC) to standardize behavior during dynamic sessions.

Applications and who should use this standard

IEC PAS 61980-6 is practical for organizations involved in:

• EV OEMs and power electronics designers developing onboard EV communication/control units for dynamic charging.
• Infrastructure providers and operators deploying MF‑D‑WPT lanes, primary coils, and segment control systems.
• Wireless charging system suppliers implementing P2PS, positioning sensors, and inter‑inverter switching.
• Testing and certification bodies validating interoperability, safety monitoring and communication protocols.
• City planners, transport authorities and utilities evaluating dynamic charging deployment scenarios and integration with grid/cloud management.

Use cases include highway or urban dynamic charging corridors, bus rapid transit charging, and pilot deployments where vehicles receive power while moving.

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.

5 General system structure and interoperability concept
5.1 System structure
Figure 1 shows an example for the structure of the components referred to throughout this
document. A communication system consists of two types of communication: wide area
communication that can communicate a lot of information and narrow area communication that
is mainly for pairing, which may be performed via P2PS.
Further configurations can be found in Annex A.

NOTE 1 Communication between the D-SECC and D-EVCC can be direct communication or via cloud.
NOTE 2 More than one EV can be supplied power from one supply device or one primary device.
NOTE 3 An EV can have more than one secondary devices.
NOTE 4 D-SECC can be located either at a local facility or at comprehensive communication centre.
5.2 Interoperability concept
Interoperability of MF-D-WPT requires that both the power transfer mechanism and the
communication can interoperate. The requirements for interoperability of the power transfer in
D-WPT mechanism are given in IEC PAS 61980-5.

6 General communication requirements
6.1 General
MF-D-WPT systems shall use communication between electric road vehicle (EV) and
infrastructure for the MF-WPT power transfer process.
For MF-D-WPT systems, the physical and data link layer (OSI layers 1 and 2) of the wireless
communication interface (c in Figure 1) shall be in accordance with DSRC or cellular network
(5G or LTE) and so on.
Cloud system with cellular or DSRC shall support mobility function.
The communication of a MF-D-WPT system shall be implemented as per ISO 15118-20. This
includes the requirements for message exchange, communication security and the integrity
safety for the user of the charging possibility on the electric road.
A robust operation of a MF-D-WPT system requires the implementation of different but
interrelated timing requirements.
MF-D-WPT system shall conform to
– communication timing requirements according to ISO 15118-20, and
– timing requirements with respect to specific activities and actions described in Clause 7,
respectively.
MF-D-WPT system shall maintain inherently safe operation without relying solely on the
wireless communications.
A MF-WPT system shall be tested in accordance with ISO 15118-20 and Clause 7 of this
document.
6.2 Communication and signalling for power management
6.2.1 General
Power management consists of two layers:
– wide area management, including the distribution network, is determined from the maximum
amount of power from the grid;
– local management is the distribution of power to each coil.
6.2.2 Bidirectional wireless communication
The communication between D-SECC and D-EVCC is performed by high-speed wireless
communication. Table 1 shows the requirements for the communication interface between one
D-SECC and one D-EVCC.
EXAMPLE DSRC, cellular network (5G or LTE) local 5G.

6.2.3 Unidirectional wireless signalling (P2PS)
The P2PS is used to inform the vehicle ID from the vehicle to the supply device in paring,
alignment check, magnetic coupling check, terminate power transfer and power transfer
terminate activities. Table 2 shows the requirements for the communication interface between
one supply device P2PS controller and one EV
