Research and classification of wireless power transfer with relative application

Abstract

In this paper, wireless power transfer (WPT) will be discussed in its research and application. The basic information like the reason why devices choose to use wireless power and the concept of typical WPT types is introduced. The wireless power transfer system can be divided into 5 diverse types by the theory of power transmitting, and the working principle will be introduced separately. Then, the detail of WPT via magnetically-coupled resonance is mainly discussed, including the analyzing methods, optimization scheme and the current problems. Finally, this paper give two examples on medical use and mobile phone battery charging. Using the technology of WPT, the problem of the medical tiny robots battery charging is solved, and it provides a more convenient method of charging the mobile phones without the cables. The wireless power transfer technique has potential advantages and broad prospects, which is of vital significance in power transfer development.
