Wireless Power Transfer System

This paper presents a survey of recent wireless power transfer systems. The issue of wireless power transfer is to achieve a highly efficient system with small positioning errors of the facilities setting. Several theories have been presented to obtain precise system design. This paper presents a summary of design theory for short range power transfer systems and detailed formulations based on ...

Wireless Power Transfer with Magnetic Conductor Reflectors

In this paper, a wireless power transfer system (WPT) with magnetically coupled resonators is studied. The idea to use a reflector to enhance the coupling coefficient and the transfer efficiency is proposed and analyzed. Perfect magnetic conductor (PMC) was used in numerical calculations in order to study the performance of a reflector. In the WPT system we studied, efficiency is increased from...

Green Wireless Sensor Networks with Wireless Power Transfer

An energy cooperation policy for energy harvesting wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with wireless power transfer is proposed in this paper to balance the energy at each sensor node and increase the total energy utilization ratio of the whole WSNs. Considering the unbalanced spatio-temporal properties of the energy supply across the deployment terrain of energy harvesting WSNs and the dynamic tra...

Wireless Transfer of Electric Power

In this dissertation, I describe the design and construction of a system which can transfer electric power wirelessly. This is accomplished using inductive, near-field, non-radiative coupling between self-resonant copper helices. In our first experiment, we transfered 60W of power over a distance of 2m with 45% efficiency. In our second experiment, we designed a system which can transfer power ...
