Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Wireless power transfer (WPT) technology is a cutting-edge area of research that aims to revolutionize the way electronic devices are powered. This project focuses on the development and implementation of a wireless power transfer system. The main objective is to design a system that can efficiently transfer power wirelessly over a certain distance, eliminating the need for traditional wired connections. The project involves the design and optimization of the transmitter and receiver units to ensure high efficiency and reliability of power transfer. Various methods of wireless power transfer, such as inductive coupling, magnetic resonance, and radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting, are explored and compared to determine the most suitable approach for the system. Key components of the wireless power transfer system include the power source, transmitter circuitry, transmission medium, receiver circuitry, and load. The power source could be a battery, solar panel, or any other energy harvesting device. The transmitter circuitry is responsible for converting the input power into a suitable form for wireless transmission. The transmission medium, which could be electromagnetic fields or radio waves, facilitates the transfer of power from the transmitter to the receiver. The receiver circuitry then converts the received power back into a usable form for the load. Efficient power transfer is achieved through careful design and optimization of the system components. Factors such as distance between transmitter and receiver, alignment, coil design, resonance frequency, and power conversion efficiency are critical in ensuring successful power transfer. The project also addresses challenges such as energy loss, interference, and safety concerns associated with wireless power transfer systems. The implementation of the wireless power transfer system involves practical testing and validation of the designed system. Experimental results are used to evaluate the performance of the system and identify areas for improvement. Real-world applications of wireless power transfer, such as charging electronic devices, powering sensors in remote locations, and electric vehicle charging, are explored to demonstrate the potential impact of this technology. Overall, the development and implementation of a wireless power transfer system offer a promising solution for a wide range of applications where traditional wired power connections are impractical or inconvenient. By enabling efficient and reliable power transfer without physical connections, wireless power transfer technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we power electronic devices in the future.

Thesis Overview

1 Introduction

Wireless power transfer (WPT) is an important topic nowadays. Although WPT has been known for more than a century, only now has the WPT industry started its rapid growth. The number of publications on wireless power has increased by at least 1200%

in the last 10 years [9,2]. Current solutions are having great success in the marketplace with diffusions of innovations from innovators to early adopters as of now. However the main focus of the current solutions is a “wow” factor which in most cases neglects convenience [7,14]. Obviously, there is a need for a real-life application, for average users

who are not particularly familiar with the engineering world and do not follow state of the art technologies.

The goal of the project was to evaluate and study the wireless power transfer technologies and physics behind it. The design and implementation of the wireless energy transmission system prototype and its implementation in the NextFloor innovative floor

was the main plan. It was crucial for NextFloor to integrate advanced technologies into their floor system in order to make it really “smart” and innovative and wireless power transfer was one of them.

WPT is a very broad though relatively new technology – almost 80% of my references

are dated later than the year 2010; hence, the scope of the project was limited to implementation of the inductive power transfer mode only. However, other types of WPT are also discussed in the thesis. The question my project was aimed to answer was

simple: Are we ready to use cordless electricity in our everyday lives?

Last but not least, my utmost aims that I set in the beginning were to apply the gained knowledge in practice, assess my professional competence and development needs and learn how to work in a professional team researching a totally new technology.
