  INTRODUCTION  Wireless powertransfer (WPT), wireless power transmission, wireless energy transmission (WET), or electromagnetic power transfer is the transmission of electrical energy without wires as a physical link. In a wireless power transmission system, a transmitter device, driven by electric power from a power source, generates a time-varying electromagnetic field, which transmits power across space to a receiver device, which extracts power from the field and supplies it to an electrical load. The technology of wireless power transmission can eliminate the use of the wires and batteries, thus increasing the mobility, convenience, and safety of an electronic device for all users.  Wireless power transfer is useful to power electrical devices where interconnecting wires are inconvenient, hazardous, or are not possible.

  What in WPT? The transmission of energy from one place to another without using wires.  Conventional energy transfer is using wires  But, the wireless transmission is made possible by using various technologies.

  Why not wires? As per studies, most electrical energy transfer is through wires.  Most of the energy loss is during transmission  On an average, more than 30%  n India, it exceeds 40%  Why WPT?  Reliable  Efficient  Fast  Low maintenance cost  Can be used for short-range or long-range. 

  HISTORY  Nikola Teslain late 1890s .Pioneer of induction techniques his vision for “World Wireless System” The 187 feet tall tower to broadcast energy. All people can have access to free energy due to shortage of funds, tower did not operate Tesla was able to transfer energy from one coil to another coil He managed to light 200 lamps from a distance of 40km The idea of Tesla is taken in to research after 100 years by a team led by Marin Soljačić from MIT. The project is named as WiTricity

  ENERGY COUPLING  Thetransfer of energy  Magnetic coupling  Inductive coupling  Simplest Wireless Energy coupling is a transformer TYPES AND TECHNOLOGIES OF WPT  Near-field techniques  Inductive Coupling  Resonant Inductive Coupling  Air Ionization  Far-field techniques  Microwave Power Transmission (MPT)  LASER power transmission

  INDUCTIVE COUPLING  Primaryand secondary coils are not connected with wires.  Energy transfer is due to Mutual Induction Transformer is also an example Energy transfer devices are usually aircored Wireless Charging Pad(WCP),electric brushes are some examples On a WCP, the devices are to be kept, battery will be automatically charged. Electric brush also charges using inductive coupling.The charging pad (primary coil) and the device(secondary coil) have to be kept very near to each other It is preferred because it is comfortable. Less use of wires Shock proof.

  Resonance Inductive Coupling(RIC) Combination of inductive coupling and resonance.  Resonance makes two objects interact very strongly.  Inductance induces current. How resonance in RIC?  Coil provides the 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 Block Diagram of RIC An Example

  WiTricity  Based onRIC  Led by MIT‟s Marin Soljačić  Energy transfer wirelessly for a distance just more than 2m.  Coils were in helical shape  No capacitor was used  Efficiency achieved was around 40% WiTricity… Some statistics  Used frequencies are 1MHz and 10MHz  At 1Mhz, field strengths were safe for human  At 10MHz, Field strengths were more than ICNIRP standards

   WiTricity now… No more helical coils  Companies like Intel are also working on devices that make use of RIC  Researches for decreasing the field strength  Researches to increase the range.  RIC vs. inductive coupling.  RIC is highly efficient  RIC has much greater range than inductive coupling  RIC is directional when compared to inductive coupling  RIC can be one-to-many. But usually inductive coupling is one-to-one  Devices using RIC technique are highly portable.

  Air Ionization  Toughesttechnique under near-field energy transfer techniques  Air ionizes only when there is a high field  Needed field is 2.11MV/m  Natural example: Lightening  Not feasible for practical implementation  Advantages of near-field techniques  No wires  No e-waste  Need for battery is eliminated  Efficient energy transfer using RIC  Harmless, if field strengths under safety levels  Maintenance cost is less

  Disadvantages  Distance constraint Field strengths have to be under safety levels  Initial cost is high  In RIC, tuning is difficult  High frequency signals must be the supply  Air ionization technique is not feasible  Far-field energy transfer  Radiative  Needs line-of-sight  LASER or microwave  Aims at high power transfer  Tesla‟s tower was built for this

  Microwave Power Transfer(MPT) Transfers high power from one place to another. Two places being in line of sight usually  • Steps:  Electrical energy to microwave energy.  Capturing microwaves using rectenna.  Microwave energy to electrical energy.  AC can not be directly converted to microwave energy  AC is converted to DC first  DC is converted to microwaves using magnetron  Transmitted waves are received at rectenna which rectifies, gives DC as the output  DC is converted back to AC  LASER transmission  LASER is highly directional, coherent  Not dispersed for very long  But, gets attenuated when it propagates through atmosphere  Simple receiver Photovoltaic cell  Cost-efficient

  Solar Power Satellites(SPS)  To provide energy to earth‟s increasing energy need  To efficiently make use of renewable energy i.e., solar energy  SPS are placed in geostationary orbits  Solar energy is captured using photocells  Each SPS may have 400 million photocells  Transmitted to earth in the form of microwaves/LASER  Using rectenna/photovoltaic cell, the energy is converted to electrical energy  Efficiency exceeds 95% if microwave  Rectenna  Stands for rectifying antenna  Consists of mesh of dipoles and diodes  Converts microwave to its DC equivalent  Usually multi-element phased array
