    Wireless power transmission involves transferring energy from one place to another without using wires. There are two main types: near-field techniques like inductive coupling and resonant inductive coupling, and far-field techniques like microwave power transmission and laser power transmission. Near-field techniques work over short distances but are highly efficient, while far-field techniques can transfer power over longer distances but require line-of-sight and have higher losses. Wireless power transmission has many applications like wireless charging of electric vehicles and devices, and could help address energy crises by transmitting solar power from satellites. However, it also faces challenges like initial cost and ensuring field strengths remain within safety levels.

    What is 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%
    • In India, it exceeds 40%
    Why WPT?

    Reliable
    Efficient
    Fast
    Low maintenance cost
    Can be used for short-range or
    long-range.
    History
    Nikola Tesla in 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 n
    operate
    History (contd…)
    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
    The transfer 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
    Primary and secondary coils are not
    connected with wires.
    Energy transfer is due to Mutual
    Induction

    8/31/2010 Wireless Power Transmission


    Inductive coupling (contd…)
    Transformer is also an example
    Energy transfer devices are usually air-
    cored
    Wireless Charging Pad(WCP),electric
    brushes are some examples
    On a WCP, the devices are to be kept,
    battery will be automatically charged.
    Inductive coupling(contd…)
    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 on RIC
    Led by MIT‟sMarin 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 (contd…)
    WiTricity
    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
    Toughest technique
    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
    MP T (contd…)
    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
    Rectenna
    Stands for rectifying antenna
    Consists of mesh of dipoles and
    diodes
    Converts microwave to its DC
    equivalent
    Usually multi-element pha sed array
    Rectenna in US
    Rectenna in US receives 5000MW of
    power from SPS
    It is about one and a half mile long
    Other projects
    Alaska‟21

    Grand Bassin
    Hawaii
    LASER vs. MPT
    When LASER is used, the antenna
    sizes can be much smaller
    Microwaves can face interference (two
    frequencies can be used for WPT are
    2.45GHz and 5.4GHz)
    LASER has high attenuation loss and
    also it gets diffracted by atmospheric
    particles easily
    Advantages of far-field energy
    transfer
    Efficient
    Easy
    Need for grids, substations etc are
    eliminated
    Low maintenance cost
    More effective when the transmitting
    and receiving points are along a line-
    of-sight
    Can reach the places which are
    remote
    Disadvantages of far-field energy
    trasnfer
    Radiative
    Needs line-of-sight
    Initial cost is high
    When LASERs are used,
    ◦ conversion is inefficient
    ◦ Absorption loss is high
    When microwaves are used,
    ◦ interference may arise
    ◦ FRIED BIRD effect
    Applications
    Near-field energy transfer
    ◦ Electric automobile charging
    Static and moving
    ◦ Consumer electronics
    ◦ Industrial purposes
    Harsh environment
    Far-field energy transfer
    ◦ Solar Power Satellites
    ◦ Energy to remote areas
    ◦ Can broadcast energy globally (in future)
    Conclusion
    Transmission without wires- a reality
    Efficient
    Low maintenance cost. But, high initial cost
    Better than conventional wired transfer
    Energy crisis can be decreased
    Low loss
    In near future, world will be completely
    wireless
