Wireless Power Transmission Explained

The document discusses wireless power transmission (WPT) techniques. It describes near-field methods like inductive coupling and resonant evanescent coupling, which transfer energy over short distances using magnetic fields. Far-field methods that transfer energy over longer distances using electromagnetic radiation, like radio waves or lasers, are also discussed. The document outlines the history and applications of WPT, compares advantages and disadvantages of different techniques, and provides examples of technologies like inductive charging pads and Tesla coils that implement wireless energy transfer.

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%
BASIC CONFIGURATION OF TESLA COIL

the capacitor 1C forms


two resonant circuits:
 one with the primary coil
1P,
and another with the
secondary coil 1S.

The voltage supplied by the
Neon sign transformer 1T.
INDUCTIVE COUPLING

Simplest instance of wireless energy transfer is the action


of an electrical transformer

PADS(WCP)
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION

the form of either radio waves or light


Rectenna
Power beaming
RESONANT INDUCTIVE COUPLING

EVANESCENT WAVE COUPLING

Propagation of energy using a standing wave


RESONANT INDUCTIVE
COUPLING
Evanescence basically means ‘tending to vanish’.

Electromagnetic waves are transmitted from one medium


to another by means of evanescent electromagnetic field.

Accomplished by placing two more wave guides together.


RESONANT INDUCTIVE COUPLING
Coupling is always associated with induced charges &
current within partially reflecting surfaces.

Directly analogus to nearfield non-radiative coupling


between the primary & secondary of a trasnsformer.
RESONANT INDUCTIVE COUPLING

PRINCIPLE

RESONANT COUPLING : Two same-frequency resonant


objects tend to couple, while interacting weakly with other
off-resonant environmental objects

RESONANT EVANESCENT COUPLING : The coupling


mechanism is mediated through the overlap of the non-
radiative near-fields of the two objects).
RESONANT INDUCTIVE COUPLING
WORKING

 Non-resonant induction method is inefficient over greater


distances .

Resonance helps efficiency dramatically by “tunneling”


the magnetic field to receiver coil that resonates at the
same frequency as the transmitter.

Such receiving coils are single layer solenoids with


closely placed capacitor at both ends.
Colpitts oscillator.
In resonant energy transfer the inductor would be the transmitter coil and capacitors are
used to tune the circuit to a suitable frequency.
To progressively feed energy/power into the primary coil with each cycle, different circuits
can be used. One circuit employs a Colpitts oscillator
In Tesla coils an intermittent switching system, a "circuit controller or "break," is used to
inject an impulsive signal into the primary coil; the secondary coil then rings and decays.
