Resonance-based Wireless Power Transfer for smart grid systems

Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) can provide solutions for power transfer in complex environment and topologically challenging locations. This technology is mainly affected by the range and efficiency of transmission. Specially, bulk power transfer using WPT is also a challenging task. WPT using resonant coupling can provide an effective solution for power transfer to sensors and monitoring meters in temperature variant environments and battery powered static and mobile devices. However, its effects related to simultaneously charging multiple units and its directional field pattern when introduced on both the transmitting as well as receiving side of the system is to be studied. This system can be expanded to transmit power from single transmitter to multiple receivers.
