Contactless Energy Transfer System
CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Most mains-operated equipment in use today is connected to the supply via plugs and sockets. These are generally acceptable in benign environments, but can be unsafe or have limited life in the presence of moisture. In explosive atmospheres and in undersea applications, special connectors must be used. This paper describes a technique, the contactless energy transfer system (CETS), by which electrical energy may be transmitted, without electrical connection or physical contact, through nonmagnetic media of low conductivity.
The CETS, which has been used to transfer up to 5 kW across a 10-mm gap, employs high-frequency magnetic coupling and enables plug-in power connections to be made in wet or hazardous environmental conditions without the risk of electric shock, short circuiting, or sparking. Energy may be transmitted without the necessity for accurately manufactured “plug-and-socket” mechanisms and may be transmitted from source to load, even when there is relative motion. Load-source voltage matching may be made inherent to the system.
Recently, contactless (or contact-free) energy transfer (CET) systems have become more widely developed and investigated. This innovative technology brings about new possibilities of supplying mobile devices with electrical energy by allowing elimination of cables, connectors, and/or slip rings. This increases reliability and maintenance-free operation of such systems in critical applications such as aerospace, biomedicine, multisensors, and robotics. A large number of technologies for CET have been established, but these can be summed up in three commonly accepted terminologies: * CET * Contactless (or contact-free) power transfer (CPT) * Wireless power transfer (WPT).
In the most popular applications, the core of CET systems is the inductive or capacitive coupling between power source and load, and high-switching frequency power electronic converter for energy flow control. The

    Our forefathers marveled at the invention of glowing light bulbs by Thomas Edison in 1879. However, to us 21st centurions, the light bulb is nothing out of the ordinary. When computers, cell phones, laptops, iPods, etc. were invented our antennas tweaked. Now this is what you call invention! However, as time's progressing we are getting used to these devices. In fact, charging all these appliances has become so very cumbersome. Each appliance has its own set of chargers, and with every family member owning their cell phones, the drawers are overflowing with all sorts of wires. How many times have you wished if there could be some way to do away with all the wiry clutter? When you are on the way to work and your cell phone beeps in hunger for power, haven't you wished for your cell phone battery to get 'self charged'. Well your plight has been heard by 'WiTricity'. One could imagine, world without wires! Wow! How possible? Why not? If cell phones and cordless phones can replace landlines, then why can't there be a possibility to replace power cables with WiTricity!…

    Sustainable development and engineering ethics as well as social aspects of engineering are emerging issues related to power electronics. Several important topics like environmentally sustainable products and electromagnetic compatibility fit into this description. Therefore, these issues have recently become part of the advanced course on power electronics at Lund University. The authors’ intention with the present overview paper is to share the ingredients and results so far and to review ongoing Nordic activities that could form a basis for others to expand from traditional power electronics. It is our firm opinion that issues like LCA, EPR, EMC, EMI have to be addressed and highlighted in the education of power electronic engineers.…

    The transformer is one of the simplest of electrical devices. Its basic design, materials, and principles have changed little over the last one hundred years, yet transformer designs and materials continue to be improved. Transformers are essential in high voltage power transmission providing an economical means of transmitting power over large distances. The simplicity, reliability, and economy of conversion of voltages by transformers was the principal factor in the selection of alternating current power transmission in the "War of Currents" in the late 1880's. In electronic circuitry, new methods of circuit design have replaced some of the applications of transformers, but electronic technology has also developed new transformer designs and applications.…

    During last few decades, booming of wireless sensor network (WSN) require a reliable power source. Generally the power sources to these microsystems are the conventional battery. However, the battery has a finite lifespan and once extinguished of its power, these sensors must be retrieved and the battery replaced [1]. With these sensors being placed in remote location it can become an expensive task to obtain and replace the battery. Therefore, it becomes necessary to provide them source, which can provide them energy reliably. Technological developments in the MEMS industry have lead to miniaturization of many of the transducer systems. With this effort, the power consumption of these devices has been reduced to the order of W to mW level. These developments have opened a new source for supplying energy to these micro systems as an alternative to batteries, which have a finite life and are large in size. Researchers are working on alternative energy sources like solar, thermal, acoustics, and vibration. These sources are clean and have theoretically infinite life compared to batteries. Considering implantable and embedded microsystems that should operate and survive on their initial energy supply, these ambient energy sources are attractive alternatives. Among these alternative sources, environmental vibration is particularly attractive because it is almost everywhere in our living environment and can be readily found in the environment in abundance. Through these transducers ambient vibrational energy can be efficiently converted into electrical energy. In this report vibration based scavenging technique like piezoelectric and electromagnetic conversions are explained and how the ambient vibrational energy can be used to charge these microsystems through piezoelectric and electromagnetic transducer. Inspite of development of MEMS industry, there are some of technical limitation of vibration energy harvesting systems which are to be…
