ABSTRACTThe main objective of this project is to develop a
device for wireless power transfer. The concept of
wireless power transfer was realized by Nikolas
Tesla. Wireless power transfer can make a
remarkable change in the field of the electrical
engineering which eliminates the use conventional
copper cables and current carrying wires. Based on
this concept, the project is developed to transfer
power within a small range. This project can be
used for charging batteries those are physically not
possible to be connected electrically such as pace
makers (An electronic device that works in place of
a defective heart valve) implanted in the body that
runs on a battery. The patient is required to be
operated every year to replace the battery.
This project is built upon using an electronic circuit
which converts AC 230V 50Hz to AC 12V, High
frequency. The output is fed to a tuned coil forming
as primary of an air core transformer. The
secondary coil develops a voltage of HF 12volt.
Thus the transfer of power is done by the primary
(transmitter) to the secondary that is separated
with a considerable distance (say 10cm). Therefore
the transfer could be seen as the primary transmits
and the secondary receives the power to run load.
Moreover this technique can be used in number of
applications, like to charge a mobile phone, iPod,
laptop battery, propeller clock wirelessly. And also
this kind of charging provides a far lower risk of
electrical shock as it would be galvanically isolated.
This concept is an Emerging Technology, and in
future the distance of power transfer can be
enhanced as the research across the world is still
going on.

I-INTRODUCTION
Wireless power transmission (WPT) is an efficient
way for the transmission of electric power from one
point to another through vacuum or atmosphere
without the use of wire or any substance. By using
WPT, power can be transmitted using inductive
coupling for short range, resonant induction for mid-
range and Electromagnetic wave power transfer. By
using this technology, it is possible to supply power
to places, which is hard to do using conventional
wires. Currently, the use of inductive coupling is in
development and research phases. The most
common wireless power transfer technologies are
the electromagnetic induction and the microwave
power transfer. For efficient midrange power
transfer, the wireless power transfer system must
satisfy three conditions: (a) high efficiency, (b) large
air gap, (c) high power. The microwave power
transfer has a low efficiency. For near field power
transfer this method may be inefficient, since it
involves radiation of electromagnetic waves.
Wireless power transfer can be done via electric field
coupling, but electric field coupling provides an
inductively loaded electrical dipole that is an open
capacitor or dielectric disk. Extraneous objects may
provide a relatively strong influence on electric field
coupling. Magnetic field coupling may be preferred,
since extraneous objects in a magnetic field have the
same magnetic properties as empty space.
Electromagnetic induction method has short range.
Since magnetic field coupling is a nonradiative power
transfer method, it has higher efficiency. However,
power transfer range can be increased by applying
magnetic coupling with resonance phenomenon
applied on. A magnetic field is generated when
electric charge moves through space or within an
electrical conductor. The geometric shapes of the
magnetic flux lines produced by moving charge
(electric current) are similar to the shapes of the flux
lines in an electrostatic field. WPT can be divided
into 3 parts components. First transceiver, the
transceiver electromagnetically transfers power via
inductive coils which supply a wireless transfer of
power to receiver units. Second resonant coupling,
the resonant coupling in this case as the antenna
and forward to the bridge rectifier which act convert
the induced AC voltage to the DC voltage. Third
rectifier, the rectifier will finally supplies DC voltage
to the load.
II-WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY
2.1 The Basics
Wireless power transmission involves the
transferring of electrical energy or power over the
distance without wires. Thus the basic technology
lies on the concept on electricity, magnetism and
electromagnetism.
2.2 Electricity
The flow of electrons (current) through a conductor
(a wire), or charges though the atmosphere.
2.3 Magnetism
It is a fundamental force of nature, which causes
certain types of material to attract or repel each other.
Permanent magnets like in our refrigerator and the
earth’s magnetic field are example of objects having
constant magnetic fields. Figure 1 As a current I flow
in the circuit it generates Oscillating magnetic fields
vary in respect to time, which can be used to generate
alternating current (AC).
2.4 Electromagnetism
It is a term for the interdependence of time- varying
electric and magnetic fields. The oscillating magnetic
field produces a magnetic and electric field.
2.5 Magnetic induction
If a conductive loop is connected to an AC power
source, it will generate an oscillating magnetic field
in and around the loop. If a second conducting loop
is brought near enough, it will capture portion of
that oscillating magnetic field, which in turn
generates or induces an electric current in the
second coil. Thus the electrical power transfer from
one loop or coil to another is known as magnetic
induction .Examples of such phenomenon are used
in electric transformer and electric generators. This
concept is covered by the laws of electromagnetic
induction by Faraday. Where he states that
whenever there is change in magnetic flux linking
with the coil an emf is induced in the coil. And the
magnitude of the same is equal to the product of
number of turns of the coil and the rate of change of
flux.
This phenomenon occurs when one device is able to
transfer energy to another deice. Magnetic coupling
occurs when one object’s magnetic field is able to
induce an electric current to the other devices on its
vicinity.
2.6 Resonance
Resonance is the phenomenon in which magnetic
systems that possesses both magnetic moments and
angular momentum. It is the natural frequency at
which energy can most efficiently be added to an
oscillating system. It exists in most of the physical
systems. When the resonant frequency is found it
vibrates with higher energy.
2.7 Resonant Magnetic Coupling
As stated under section earlier magnetic coupling
occurs when there is energy exchange between two
objects through their varying magnetic fields. But
the resonant coupling occurs when the natural
frequencies of the two becomes approximately
equal.
III-HISTORY
3.1 Contributions to Wireless Power Transmission
3.1.1 Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla, who is seen by mostly
American as the "Father of Wireless", is also
credited for his remarkable AC generation
became the first person to conceive the idea
of wireless power transmission and
successfully demonstrated the transmission
of electricity without wires as early as 1891.
In 1893 Tesla won to illuminate the World
Columbian Exposition in Chicago, where he
demonstrated the success of illuminating the
vacuum tubes bulbs without using wires.
Tesla constructed the Wardebclyffe tower as
shown below in figure 3.a, for wireless power
transmission of electrical power rather than
telegraphy .Tesla conducted his experiments
in Colorado Spring in 1899.
3.1.2William C. Brown
William C. Brown is credited for modern
research and father of microwave power
transmission. In 1961 he published his first
paper proposing microwave energy for
power transmission. In early 1960s Brown
invented rectenna which directly convert
microwave to DC current and in 1964 he
successfully demonstrated a microwave-
powered model helicopter that received all
the power needed for the flight from a
microwave beam at 2.45 GHz.
In 1982, Brown along with James F. Trimer
(NASA) modified the previous rectenna to
thin and light one which led to the
development of Stationary High Altitude
Relay Platform (SHARP) field. The purpose of
this was to develop aircraft that would
maintain a circular trajectory above a
microwave antenna for relaying
communication from various ground
terminals.
3.1.3 Prof. Marin Soljacic
A physics research group led by Prof. Marin
Soljacic at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) demonstrated wireless
powering of 60W light bulb with 40%
efficiency at 2m (7ft) distance using two
6ocm -diameter coils in 2007 [9]. They used
resonant induction to transmit power
wirelessly. The group is also working to
improve the technology. This came as a
chance when Prof. Soljacic’s phone beeped
in the kitchen letting him know that he forgot
to charge. Soon after the success of the
experiment the term for the technology was
given as WiTricity and to carry out this
technology forward from the MIT
laboratories, WiTricity Corp. was launched.
IV-VARIOUS TECHNOLOGIES
4.1 Near Field Techniques
4.1.1 Inductive Coupling
Two devices are said to be mutually
inductively coupled or magnetically coupled
when they are configured such that change
in current though one wire induces a voltage
across the ends of the other wire by
electromagnetic induction. This is due to the
mutual inductance.
Transformer is an example of inductive
coupling. Inductive coupling is preferred
because of its comfortable, less use of wires
and shock proof.
4.1.2Resonance Inductive Coupling (RIC)
RIC is the combination of both inductive
coupling and resonance. Using the concept
of resonance it makes the two objects to
interact each other very strongly.
Inductance induces current in the circuit. As seen in
the figure 7, the coil provides the inductance. The
capacitor is connected in parallel to the coil. Energy
will be shifting back and forth between magnetic
field surrounding the coil and electric field around
the capacitor.
a) Comparison between RIC and Inductive Coupling
1. RIC is highly efficient.
2. RIC has greater range than inductive coupling.
3. RIC is directional when compared to inductive
coupling.
4. RIC can be one- to- many whereas inductive
coupling is one-to-one.
5. Device using RIC technique is highly portable.
4.1.3Air ionization
The concept here is the ionization of air due to field
produced. This technique in exist in nature but there
is hardly any feasibility of its implementation
because it needs high field like 2.11MV/m. Several
experiments are on the way. Richard E. Vollrath, a
California inventor has developed an ingenious
sand-storm generator, which sends blasts of dust-
laden air through copper tubes, generating
electricity which can be stored in sphere and used
later. Example of this technique is seen in nature
lightning.
4.2Field Field Techniques
Far Field Energy transfer technique is mainly
dependent on radiative techniques. Here wave are
either broadcasted in the form of narrow beam
transmission of radio, or light waves. This is solely
for high power transfer. Tesla already gave the
concept to the world on his paper: “Truly Wireless”
long time by late 1980s. He constructed large
Wardenclyffe Tower to mainly transfer the energy
for large distance.
There are basically two methods for WPT: the
microwave power transmission and the power
transmission using LASER.
4.2.1Microwave Power Transmission (MPT)This technique involves the conversion of energy
into microwave and then transfers the wave through
the rectenna (rectifier and antenna) from the
transmitter and received at the receiver which will
be converted into the conventional electrical power.
The steps involved are:
1) Conversion of electrical energy to microwave
energy
2) Receiving microwave energy using Rectenna
3) Conversion of microwave energy to electrical
energy
William C. Brown, then the leading authority on
wireless power transmission technology showed the
power transmission through free space by
microwave. He said that the primary components
include microwave source, a transmitting antenna,
and receiving antenna. The basics blocks of elements
in wireless power transmission is shown in figure 4.f.
In the transmission side, the microwave power
source generates microwave power and the output
power is controlled by the electronic control circuits.
The wave guide ferrite circulator which protects the
microwave power source from reflected power is
connected with the microwave power source
through the Coax-waveguide adaptor. The tuner
matches the impedance between the transmitting
antenna and the microwave source. The attenuated
signals will be then separated based on the direction
of signal propagation by directional coupler. The
transmitting antenna radiates the power uniformly
through free space to the antenna.
In the receiver, an antenna receives the
transmitted power and converts the
microwave in DC power. The impedance
matching circuit and filter is provided to set
the output impedance of a signal source
equal to the rectifying circuit. The rectifying
circuit consists of schottky barrier diodes
which convert the received microwave
power into DC power.
For the wireless power transmission on the
surface of the earth, a limited range of
transmission frequencies are availably
suitable. Due to atmospheric attenuation
and absorption frequencies above 6 GHz, it is
not efficient. The frequencies below 2 GHz
require excessively large apertures for
transmission and reception. Therefore, the
suitable ranges of frequencies are in the
range of 2GHz to 6 GHz. Efficient
transmissions requires that the beams have
Gaussion power density. Transmission
efficiency for Gaussian beams is related to
the aperture sizes of the transmitting and
receiving antennas by:
Where,
Dt is the transmission array diameter,
Dr is receiving array diameter,
A is the wavelength of
transmission R is the range of transmission
Followings are the components required for
generating frequencies of transmitting the
power.
(a)Microwave GeneratorMicrowave transmitting devices are
classified as Microwave Vacuum Tubes
(magnetron, klystron, travelling wave tube),
and microwave power module (MPM) and
Semiconductor Microwave transmitters
(GaAs MESFET, GaN, pHEM, SiC MESFET,
AlGaN/GaN HFET, and InGaAs). The
microwave transmitter often uses 2.45 GHz
or 5.8 GHz of ISM band. The other
frequencies are 8.5 GHz, 10GHz and 35 GHz.
The highest efficiency over 90% is achieved
at 2.45 GHz.
(b)Transmitting Antenna
The slotted wave guide antenna as shown
in the above figure 14, micro-strip antenna
and parabolic dish antenna are the most
used amongst the others. The slotted
waveguide antenna is considered to be ideal
with the efficiency greater than 95% and
high power handling capacity.
(c)Rectenna
The name rectenna comes from William C.
Brown (Raytheon) in the early 1960s. It is the
term given to the combination of rectifying
diode and antenna. The rectenna is passive
element and consists of antenna, rectifying
circuit with a low pass filter between the
antennas and rectifying diode. The antenna
used may be dipole, Yagi-Uda, micro-strip or
parabolic dish antenna. The patch dipole
antenna is best with highest efficiency.
4.2.2 LASER Technology
The LASER Technology is another efficient way of
wireless power transmission. It uses the same
possibility as microwave wireless transmission but
here energy emission is of high frequency and is
coherent. Research organisations like NASA,
ENTECH, and UAH have been working on this project
as a means to transmit power wirelessly. The other
great advantage of LASER power transmission is the
aperture collection efficiency which is that antenna
can be made small sized as these are the
calumniated beams.
LASER transmission does not get dispersed
for long distance but it gets attenuated when
it propagates though atmosphere. During the
design the receiver used can be simple like
photovoltaic cell. Due to the simplicity in its
construction it is cost efficient than he
microwave power transmission. Developing
photovoltaic cells which are capable of
efficiently converting the multiple sun
intensity coherent monochromatic light in to
electricity have been under the belt of many
researchers and scientist. Maximum
efficiency for photovoltaic cell with
monochromatic light has been achieved at a
wavelength that is just short of cut-off
wavelength for the semiconductor. The cut-
off wavelength ( ( m)) is given as:
Where Eg is the semiconductor band gap
energy in eV. Peak wavelength efficiency
for steady state monochromatic light
illumination have been calculated for
GaAs (58% for 0.84 m, >50% for 0.74 -
0.87 m).
(a)Application of LASER in SPS
Solar Power Satellite (SPS) is stationed in
the geostationary orbit containing lots of
photo cells. The solar energy trapped by this
can be transmitted to earth Rectenna as a
LASER beam. At the receiver this is
converted back to electrical energy.
(b)Comparison between LASER and MPT
The size of the antenna can be reduced by
using LASER. LASER has high attenuation
losses, interference and gets diffracted by
atmospheric particles. Conversion of waves
is found to be inefficient. But to overcome
this difficulties, the LASER system will have
to be provided with ground energy storage
capacity or multiple sites located sufficiently
far apart such that one site could be
available all times. Microwave faces
interference and the safety is the biggest
concern. Another biggest concern is the
FRIED BIRD effect.
V-CIRCUIT DESIGN
5.1 Oscillator
This is the heart of the wireless power
transmission module. The oscillator should
be able to produce high frequency pulses of
required power so that it can excite the
transmitter coil at its resonant frequency. We
tried many different methods using power
MOSFETS and finally our search came to an
end with Royer push pull oscillator.
The circuit of the royer oscillator is
shown in figure 12.The royer oscillator
consists of two cross coupled MOSFETs
connected to a resonant circuit
(resonant transmitter) formed by the
centre tapped inductor and the
capacitor C1.This resonator acts as a
primary side link coil of the power
system and is coupled to a second
identical resonant circuit formed by L1
and C2 which is connected to a DC
rectifier and battery charging circuit.
In order to refer to the principle of
operation of the oscillator we refer to
the simplified scheme depicted in
figure 5.b, where the MOSFETs are
replaced by voltage controlled ideal
switches. Owing to the connection
structure, when either one of the
switches is in the “on” state it forces to
zero the control voltage of the other
one, which is thus set into the “off”
state.
The resonant frequency of the transmitter is
given by
Where L is the common inductance of the
centre tapped primary coil and C=C1.
The voltage across the capacitor is assumed
to be sinusoidal if the quality factor of the
circuit is sufficient (here we have a quality
factor of 68 and that is sufficient). Let us
assume that at t=0,s1 is OFF and S2 is ON as
shown in figure 4.This implies that during the
first half period of capacitor voltage Vc1 ,the
voltage at node1 is equal to Vc1 and is
positive, so that S2 is held in the ON state. As
a consequence the voltage across S2 remains
zero, and S1 is kept OFF. At t=1/f, Vc1
becomes equal to zero and S1 turns OFF,
thus voltage at node 2 starts increasing.
Hence in the subsequent half period S1 is
held ON and the voltage at node 1 is kept to
zero. This situation continues until Vc1
crosses zero again at t= 2/f and the cycle
restarts.
The inductance LCHOKE is chosen such a
way that its impedance is very large at the
resonant frequency so that the capacitor
current can circulate only in the loop formed
by C1 and L1. The DC voltage source and
LCHOKE thus behave as a DC current
source .Thus the current injected in the
central tap of L1 can only flow in the switch
that is on.
Here we have used IRF2807 power MOSFET
as the switch because it has sufficient current
capacity along with high switching frequency.
The diodes used are BYV26E because of its
high switching frequency .Also we used a
1mH inductor as LCHOKE.
5.1Coil Design
Once we decided about using royer oscillator, now
we had to fix the resonant frequency of the coil and
design it. We chose a frequency of 30kHz and a
capacitance of 0.44gF. Now we tried out different
materials and different coil forms. We tried PVC
insulated copper wires and varnished copper wires
used in transformer wires. At the end we decided to
use PVC insulated copper wires wound in concentric
helix as the transmitter coil. The transmitter coil
wound is shown in the figure 5.c above. Using this
coil we got an inductance of .050mH (required is
0.64mH as per equation).
The receiver coil is also wound in the same way with
the same resonant frequency.
5.2 Realization of the Wireless Power Transmitter
In the next step we realized the wireless
power transfer system for the WI-EV with the
royer oscillator using the above designed
transmitter and receiver coils. A 30V, 5A
variable DC supply was used to energize the
wireless power transfer system. We used this
set up to light a 12V bulb at a distance of
about 15cm.
VI-ADVANTAGES, DISADVANTAGES, CHALLENGES & SAFETY OF WPT
6.1 Advantages
The WPT would eliminate the high-tension
power transmission line cables, towers and
substation, which are seen as not very
efficient way of energy transmission. This will
easily lead to the global scale connectivity of
power system. Thus the cost of transmitting
and receiving the energy becomes less
expensive thereby reducing the tariff rate.
Since here i do not use cable, electricity would
be reached to any places irrespective of the
geographical situations. Loss of power through
transmission is negligible thus this method is
more efficient. The natural hazards like
earthquake, landslides, flood and others
cannot cut the power as long as the WPT
system operates thereby reliability is more
compared to the wired transmission of
energy. The power failure due to short circuit,
fault in the cable lines would never occur. The
e-waste that is produces would be drastically
reduced thus it becomes more environment
friendly. The space occupancy by the
infrastructures like power house, dam,
substations and transmission grid lines will be
eliminated. The receiver can be embedded to
any electrical devices and appliances that it
need not use battery. The portability of the
electrical devices increases.
6.2 Disadvantages
Initial cost is very high for its practical
implementation. Since microwave is used
interference is high. Even if LASER is used the
conversion is difficult, suffers attenuation
losses and is diffracted by atmospheric
particles. The major concern remains the
safety of the waves it emits: the biological
impacts. But the safety studies has been taken
that its radiation level would be never higher
than the dose received while opening the
microwave oven door, meaning it is slightly
higher than the emissions created by cellular
telephones.
Thus the public exposure of WPT fields would be
below existing safety guidelines. Since the energy is
freely in the air energy theft will occur.
6.3Challenges
To sustain the constant power level, there are
few challenges for WPT. This is due to the
electromagnetic wave scatters freely in space
as it propagates, which causes the efficiency
to be much lower leaving some energy left
unused or transferred unused. But using mulpl
e antennae arrays will be able to solve the
problem. Other major challenges that are in
front for the success of WPT is the outer space
transmission system in its design. This system
for WPT uses massive solar panels to collect
the Sun’s rays and sends that energy to the
Earth through microwaves. The concerns that
some environmentalists are placing is the
depletion of ozone layer by the radiation. But
this technology is young and many researches
are underway to incorporate the short
comings. Since the world is lit by wires and
every electrical device is fed with wires, it will
be biggest challenge to implement the WPT
technology. There should be complete
revolution in the electrical world for
manufacturing and designing. Still the safety
of the microwaves remains a question for the
public. Some of the countries which depend
on electrical energy for the economy like our
country Bhutan: it will be a heavy blow. This
was the main reason that Tesla failed to
convince then the sponsors and entrepreneurs
of his time to carry out his project.
6.4 Safety Measures
Many thinks that WPT is not safe and fear
its impact in human health and environment,
but as per the IEEE standard, but the safety
studies has been taken that its radiation level
would be never higher than the dose
received while opening the microwave oven
door, meaning it is slightly higher than the
emissions created by cellular telephones.
Thus the public exposure of WPT fields would
be below existing safety guidelines.
VII-APPLICATIONS
Consumer Electronics
The widespread use of this technology has already
been started in the field of consumer electronics.
Wireless charging is the method used today for
charging several compatible devices & gadgets
wirelessly; this includes mobiles, cameras,
computers etc. The sole benefit of this technology is
that it removes requirement of cords for each &
every device separately, thus providing a hassle free
solution to manage several devices at once. Medical
Wireless charging systems are being developed for
implanted medical devices including LVAD heart
assist pumps, pacemakers, and infusion pumps.
Using highly resonant wireless power transfer, such
devices can be efficiently powered through the skin
and over distances much greater than the thickness
of the skin, so that power can be supplied to devices
deeply implanted within the human body. The -WPT
technique eliminates the need for drive lines that
penetrate the human body, and for surgical
replacement of primary batteries.
Electric Vehicles
Wireless charging systems are being developed for
rechargeable hybrid and battery electric vehicles.
These systems already deliver 3.3 kW at high
efficiency over a distance of 10 cm -20 cm (typical
vehicle ground clearances). Audi Urban Concept
Vehicle, demonstrated by Audi in April, 2012. It is
expected that wireless charging will vastly improve
the charging experience for EV owners, making such
vehicles even more attractive to consumers.
Other uses
Apart from this there is numerous application of
WPT in other fields like- defence, LED lightening. The
Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) is active in
developing a standard for the deployment of
wireless power technologies in consumer
applications. Also, several industry consortia have
been established to develop specifications for
components and systems (e.g., Wireless Power
Consortium (WPC), Power Matters Alliance (PMA) &
Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP)). These efforts
should help speed the adoption of wireless power
technology across a varied application space.
VIII-FUTURE SCOPE
With such a wide-ranging application space, we feel
that the use of resonance to enhance wireless power
transfer will be prevalent in many areas of life in the
coming years. Electronics companies are already
developing the necessary core components that will
help speed the introduction of the technology into
more cost constrained applications. This will
stimulate additional creative ways in which to apply
the technology, not only bringing convenience to
some everyday tasks such as battery charging, but
also enabling uses in ways only limited by one’s
imagination.
The market for some specialty applications has
already started (e.g., medical applications), while
application to automotive charging is rapidly
developing and industry leaders are meeting to
discuss standardization of vehicle-charging
infrastructure. For mobile electronics, a consortium
of companies has already developed a common
specification for traditional inductive charging.
Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) are
now developing interoperability guidelines for
highly-resonant wireless power transfer to ensure
that mobile devices from different vendors can
charge anywhere in a common wireless ecosystem.
As these efforts progress, expect to see wireless
power technology deployed in these and many more
applications.
CONCLUSION
The transmission of power without wires is
not a theory, it is now a reality. The electrical
power can be economically transmitted
without wires to any terrestrial distance.
Many researchers have worked and
established in numerous observations,
experiments and measurements, qualitative
and quantitative. Dr.N.Tesla is the father of
this invention. Wireless transmission of
electricity have tremendous merits like high
transmission integrity and Low Loss (90 - 97
% efficient) and can be transmitted to
anywhere in the globe and eliminate the
need for an inefficient, costly, and capital
intensive grid of cables, towers, and
substations. The system would reduce the
cost of electrical energy used by the
consumer and get rid of the landscape of
wires, cables, and transmission towers. It has
negligible demerits like reactive power which
was found insignificant and biologically
compatible. It has a tremendous economic
impact to human society.
Many countries will benefit from this service.
Monthly electric utility bills from old-
fashioned, fossil-fuelled, loss prone
electrified wire-grid delivery services will be
optional, much like —cable TV of today.
