The Romanian wireless power transfer network

Abstract

"Wireless power transfer (WPT) is a disruptive technology because it gives up the technology of wire transmission, the only one used in electrical and electronic engineering so far. Although made known since the end of the 19th century through the inventions of Nikola Tesla, WPT became applicable in practice only in the 80s of the 20th century with the progress of power - and micro-electronics. The field is now being studied and applied worldwide for transferred power from a few W up to hundreds of kW, as part of electric mobility and beyond. The fact that numerous researches and applications of the WPT have already been carried out in Romania led to the need for a better collaboration and knowledge which resulted in the creation of the national network of interests - WPT Romanian Network (WPT Rom Net) - presented in this paper.
