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

Page 4: wireless power system

4

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?

ReliableEfficientFastLow maintenance costCan be used for short-range or long-range.

History

Nikola Tesla work in late 1890sPioneer of induction techniquesHis vision for “World Wireless

System”The 187 feet tall tower to broadcast

energyAll people can have access to free

energyDue to shortage of funds, tower did

not operate

Page 7: wireless power system

7

History (contd…)Tesla was able to transfer energy

from one coil to another coilHe managed to light 200 lamps

from a distance of 40kmThe 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 CouplingThe transfer of energy

◦Magnetic coupling◦Inductive coupling

Simplest Wireless Energy coupling is a transformer

Types and Technologies of WPTNear-field techniques

Inductive CouplingResonant Inductive CouplingAir Ionization

Far-field techniquesMicrowave Power Transmission

(MPT)LASER power transmission

Page 10: wireless power system

Inductive coupling Primary and secondary coils are

not connected with wires.Energy transfer is due to Mutual

Induction

Page 11: wireless power system

11

Resonance Inductive Coupling(RIC)Combination of inductive

coupling and resonanceResonance makes two objects

interact very stronglyInductance induces current

An example

Page 13: wireless power system

13

WiTricityBased on RICLed by MIT’s Marin SoljačićEnergy transfer wirelessly for a

distance just more than 2m. Coils were in helical shapeNo capacitor was usedEfficiency achieved was around

40%

WiTricity (contd…)

RIC vs. inductive couplingRIC is highly efficientRIC has much greater range than

inductive couplingRIC is directional when compared

to inductive couplingRIC can be one-to-many. But

usually inductive coupling is one-to-one

Devices using RIC technique are highly portable

Page 16: wireless power system

16

Advantages of near-field techniquesNo wiresNo e-wasteNeed for battery is

eliminatedEfficient energy

transfer using RICHarmless, if field

strengths under safety levels

Maintenance cost is less

Page 17: wireless power system

17

DisadvantagesDistance constraintField strengths have to be under

safety levelsInitial cost is highIn RIC, tuning is difficultHigh frequency signals must be

the supplyAir ionization technique is not

feasible

Far-field energy transfer

RadiativeNeeds line-of-sightLASER or microwaveAims at high power transfer

Tesla’s tower was built for this

Page 19: wireless power system

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

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

Page 21: wireless power system

21

SPS (contd…)Solar energy is captured using

photocellsEach SPS may have 400 million

photocellsTransmitted to earth in the form

of microwaves/LASERUsing rectenna/photovoltaic cell,

the energy is converted to electrical energy

Efficiency exceeds 95% if microwave is used.

Page 22: wireless power system

22

Rectenna in USRectenna in US receives 5000MW

of power from SPSIt is about one and a half mile

long

Page 23: wireless power system

23

LASER vs. MPTWhen LASER is used, the antenna

sizes can be much smallerMicrowaves 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

Page 24: wireless power system

24

Advantages of far-field energy transferEfficientEasyNeed for grids, substations etc

are eliminatedLow maintenance costMore effective when the

transmitting and receiving points are along a line-of-sight

Can reach the places which are remote

Page 25: wireless power system

25

Disadvantages of far-field energy trasnferRadiativeNeeds line-of-sightInitial cost is highWhen LASERs are used,

◦conversion is inefficient◦Absorption loss is high

When microwaves are used, ◦interference may arise◦FRIED BIRD effect

Page 26: wireless power system

26

ApplicationsNear-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)

ConclusionTransmission without wires- a realityEfficientLow maintenance cost. But, high initial

costBetter than conventional wired

transferEnergy crisis can be decreasedLow loss In near future, world will be

completely wireless
