Abstract
A 200 kW wireless power transfer system for a tram and 1 MW wireless power transfer system for high-speed trains developed at the Korea Railroad Research Institute in collaboration with KAIST are described. A review of the need and advantages of the wireless power transfer system for trains is also presented, including the wireless power transfer systems for railways developed in other countries (Transrapid 09, Bombardier PRIMOVE). It also describes the current barriers to the use of WPT system and future strategies for overcoming them.
