Research on wireless power
transfer (WPT) technology has gained significant
popularity in recent years due to the availability of
high power and high switching frequency semiconductor
devices. The advantages of this technology are as
follows:
very convenient, safe and reliable due to
elimination of direct electrical contact,
the
power transfer unaffected even in hostile
environments such as snow, water, dirt, wind, and
chemicals, and
provides galvanic isolation.
Besides these general advantages,
the WPT technology has merits specific to particular
applications. In biomedical implants, e.g., in heart
pump battery recharging, WPT technology is the most
practical and convenient. Similarly, WPT has found
wide acceptance for recharging batteries of electronic
gadgets, lighting, chemical plants, underwater
vehicles, etc., due to its flexible usage and the
ability to prevent damages to the charging port.
Implementation of wireless charging in EV applications
provides remarkable outcomes. Along with the merits
mentioned above, it can reduce the battery storage
requirement to 20% through opportunistic charging
techniques.
