2. What is wireless power transmission(WPT)?
Why is WPT?
History of WPT
Types of WPT
Techniques to transfer energy wirelessly
Advantages and disadvantages
Applications
Conclusion

3. 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
4. As per studies, most electrical
energy transfer is through wires.
Most of the energy loss is during
transmission
• On an average, more than 25%
• In pakistan, it exceeds 26%
6. Nikola Tesla in late 1890s
His vision for “World Wireless System”
The 187 feet tall tower to broadcast energy
All people can have access to free energy
He used to lamp 200 lights from 40 km distance
7. Near-field techniques
Inductive Coupling
Resonant Inductive Coupling
Air Ionization
Far-field techniques
Microwave Power Transmission (MPT)
LASER power transmission
8. Primary and secondary coils are not
connected with wires.
Energy transfer is due to Mutual Induction
Wireless Charging Pad(WCP) ,Electric
Brushes are some examples.
9. 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
10. Advantages:
No wire, No e-waste
Need for battery eliminated
Efficient & Harmless
Disadvantages:
Distance constraint
Field should be under safety level
High initial cost
Tuning is difficult in RIC
11. 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 is converted to DC first
DC is converted to microwaves using
magnetron
12. AC Power
Outlet
This is the
AC power
supply
Power
Conversion
This converts
the AC power to
a microwave
power signal
Microwave
Transmitter
This
transmits
the
microwave
power signal
Transmitting
Side:
13. Transmitted waves are received at rectenna
which rectifies, gives DC as the output
DC is converted back to AC
Rectenna:
Stands for rectifying antenna
Consists of mesh of dipoles and diodes
Converts microwave to its DC equivalent
Usually multi-element phased array
14. Block Diagram of MPT
Rectenna Power

Power
Regulator
Remote
Device
Receiving
Side:
This converts the microwave
power signal to DC power
signal
This
regulates DC
voltage
level
Remote
Device uses
this DC power
the same way
it uses a
battery
15. LASER is highly directional, coherent
Not dispersed for very long
But, gets attenuated when it propagates
through atmosphere
Simple receiver
Photovoltaic cell
Cost-efficient
16. Advantages:
Efficient , Easy
Need for grid
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:
Radiate
When LASERs are used,
conversion is inefficient
Absorption loss is high
When microwaves are
used,
interference may arise
17. Near-field energy transfer
Electric automobile charging
Static and moving
Consumer electronics
Industrial purposes
18. 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
