Wireless Power Transfer

Wireless power transfer (WPT) is the process of transferring electrical energy from a power source to a load without an electrical connection. The reason why WPT has become popular today can be listed as the effects that make human life easier, the absence of cable complexity, etc. In the first section basic information are given about WPT, which many researchers are working on today, then a brief history of WPT is provided from past to present. The various types of WPT are briefly described and detailed information about WPT systems with magnetic resonant coupling is presented. Later, basic informations about transmitter-side inverters are explained. Finally, various power control techniques used in WPT systems and the health effects of WPT are presented. © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
