Our speaker is Professor Dionysios Aliprantis fr om Purdue University who will be giving a seminar titled: "The Indiana DWP T Pilot Project".\n\nSeminar Abstract:\nAmong the various technology optio ns currently under consideration for transportation electrification\, dyna mic wireless power transfer (DWPT) is emerging as a compelling alternative \, which can be thought to be complementary to stationary charging. DWPT c an decrease range anxiety and\, with widespread implementation of DWPT roa dways\, may ultimately lead to EVs with reduced battery capacity and vehic le cost. DWPT also promises to eliminate spatial and temporal charging con straints\, and to alleviate the development of long queues at stationary c harging stations. For economic reasons\, it is likely that DWPT roadways w ill be instantiated in corridors with substantial traffic volumes. Hence\, it is important to develop DWPT systems that can provide power to propel heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) moving at highway speeds\, which requires appro ximately 100–150 kW per HDV on average.\n\nIn this presentation\, we wil l showcase the technical details and present the development of a first-of -its-kind high-power DWPT pilot project in West Lafayette\, Indiana\, USA. This project is sponsored by the Indiana Department of Transportation and is a close collaboration between academia (Purdue University) and industr y partners (White Construction\, Cummins\, AECOM\, PC Krause and Associate s). The project is affiliated with the ASPIRE NSF Engineering Research Cen ter. Apart from technical aspects\, we will also discuss the financial fea sibility of DWPT technology.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\nDionysios Aliprantis is a Pr ofessor of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Purdue University\ , West Lafayette\, Indiana\, USA. Dionysios obtained his PhD from Purdue U niversity in 2003\, and his Diploma in ECE from the National Technical Uni versity of Athens\, Greece\, in 1999. Prior to joining Purdue\, he was an Assistant Professor of ECE at Iowa State University. His research interest s include electromechanical energy conversion and electric machinery\, pow er electronics\, and power systems analysis.
