Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) refers to the transfer of energy without the use of wires, achieving efficiency improvements compared to conventional methods. The document outlines the history, techniques, advantages, and challenges of WPT, highlighting Nikola Tesla's early vision and modern applications like electric vehicle charging and solar power satellites. While WPT offers low maintenance costs and minimal energy loss, it faces issues such as distance constraints and high initial costs.
Introduction to the presenter and the content outline on wireless power transmission.
Wireless power transmission (WPT) is defined as energy transfer without wires. Conventional transfer incurs over 30% energy loss.
WPT provides reliability, efficiency, speed, and low maintenance at both short and long ranges.
Nikola Tesla envisioned a wireless energy system in the late 1890s, demonstrating his early experiments with energy transmission.
Various techniques include near-field (inductive coupling) and far-field methods (microwaves). Resonance and inductors also play a role in energy transfer.
Challenges with near-field techniques include tuning difficulties and air ionization requirements under high fields.
WPT eliminates e-waste and batteries but faces distance constraints and potential high costs. LASER transmission is direct but has attenuation issues.
WPT applications include solar power satellites for renewable energy and energy retransmission to remote areas, showcasing its vast potential.
Emphasizing WPT's potential for efficient, low-loss energy transmission, hinting at a future with complete wireless energy solutions.

Conventional energy transfer is using wires.
But, the wireless transmission is made
possible by using various technologies.

As perstudies, most electrical energy transfer
is through wires.
Most of the energy loss is during
transmission.
• On an average, more than 30%.
• In India, it exceeds 40%.

The capacitorand inductor forms the
resonator. Charge oscillates between
inductor (as magnetic field) and
capacitor (as electric field.)
This type of oscillation is called
resonance if the reactance's
of the inductor and capacitor
are equal.

Coil providesthe inductance.
Capacitor is connected parallel
to the coil.
Energy will be shifting back and
forth between magnetic field
surrounding the coil and electric
field around the capacitor.
Radiation loss will be negligible
