As part of the MobiLab project, the Institute of Power Transmission and High Voltage Technology and the Institute of Electrical Energy Conversion are involved in researching an inductive research road. Recently, the last planned extension of the smart grid laboratory was successfully put into operation as part of the project. A photovoltaic system was installed on a research container [de], in cooperation with a group of students from the Renewable Energies study program.

Prof. Parspour and Prof. Rudion with the research vehicle for inductive charging. The rectifier and the control electronics of the inductive charging system are installed in the vehicle's trunk.

Using the research road, the Institute for Energy Conversion conducts investigations into dynamic, inductive charging processes in electric vehicles. In this context, the Institute of Power Transmission and High Voltage Technology supplies the electrical energy, including energy from renewable sources, and electrical energy storage.

With the MobiLab real laboratory, the University of Stuttgart is committed to creating an emission-free campus as a research and innovation laboratory. The university aims to become carbon neutral by 2030.
