Wireless power transfer system : development and implementation

Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Wireless power transfer (WPT) technology has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential to revolutionize the way we charge electronic devices and power systems wirelessly. This research project focuses on the development and implementation of a wireless power transfer system. The primary objective is to design a system that can efficiently transfer power over a distance without the need for physical cables. The project begins with an in-depth study of the fundamental principles behind wireless power transfer systems, including electromagnetic induction and resonant inductive coupling. By understanding these principles, the research team can design a system that maximizes power transfer efficiency while ensuring safety and reliability. The development phase of the project involves designing the transmitter and receiver components of the wireless power transfer system. The transmitter consists of a power source, power management circuitry, and an antenna array to transmit power wirelessly. The receiver includes a resonant circuit tuned to the transmitter's frequency, rectification circuitry, and a load to power electronic devices. Once the design phase is complete, the project moves on to the implementation stage. This involves building a prototype of the wireless power transfer system and testing its performance under various conditions. The research team evaluates parameters such as power transfer efficiency, distance limitations, and interference from external sources to optimize the system's performance. To ensure the practicality and safety of the wireless power transfer system, the project also addresses issues such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). By conducting thorough testing and compliance with regulatory standards, the research team aims to create a system that is not only efficient but also meets industry safety requirements. Overall, this research project contributes to the advancement of wireless power transfer technology by developing a functional system that can wirelessly transfer power over short to medium distances. The implementation of such a system has the potential to revolutionize various industries, including consumer electronics, automotive, and healthcare, by enabling convenient and efficient charging solutions without the constraints of traditional wired connections.
