Publisher's Synopsis
Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) is the transmission of electrical energy from a power source to an acquiring appliance without having to use solid wire connections or even conductors. This innovative technological generates new alternatives to provide mobile devices with electrical energy. Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) is gaining traction in many application domains because it offers the possibility of batteryless operation and wireless charging. Although wireless charging frequently gets the attention of the media, battery less operation can bring major benefits for the environment and the massive deployment of wireless sensors in the Internet of Things. It is generally agreed that WPT devices operate in two fundamental ways: the so-called near field and far field. These terms refer to the region of the electromagnetic field which interacts with the receiver. Near field is associated with induction whereas far field is associated with radiation. WPT system is elimination of cables, connectors and slip-rings to improve the dependability and maintenance-free operating of such an important systems as in aerospace, biomedical, multi sensors and robotics applications. Any wireless device in the real world operates in a densely populated frequency spectrum. Standards and regulations ensure that any new technology is conditioned properly in order to be marketed commercially. Two of the most important parameters in terms of standards and regulations are frequency and power. Both of these parameters affect nonionizing radiation safety and electromagnetic compatibility. However, the regulatory framework for WPT is complicated because of the large number of organizations involved, the interactions among them, and the uneven stage of research and development (R&D) in different parts of the world. Typical applications which was able to benefit from WPT include things like overhead trolleys, conveyor trolleys, guided floor conveyors, push-skid conveyors, storage and retrieval units, Pallet transportation systems, baggage handling, panel gantries, elevator equipment, amusement park rides and lastly, battery charging stations. The WPT is ideal application where the mobile equipment has to cover long distances. Secondly, a variable, extendable track layout is required. Thirdly, additional environmental are not permitted in sensitive area. Technologies and New Developments for Wireless Power Transfer innovative insights into wireless power transfer. It aims to provide an overview of WPT, with a focus on the radiative approach to wireless power; that is, transmitting power using the electromagnetic spectrum. In particular, this book details the transfer of power over the microwave band, called microwave power transfer or microwave power transmission (MPT). Other approaches to WPT include magnetic field resonance and capacitance, and are mentioned in this book for completeness as alternative methods for WPT.
