What is WPT?
The

transmission of energy from one place to another without using wires Conventional energy transfer is using wires As per studies, most electrical energy transfer is through wires. Most of the energy loss is during transmission
On an average, more than 30% Wireless Power Transmission In India, it exceeds 40%

Why WPT?
Reliable Efficient Fast Low

maintenance cost Can be used for short-range or long-range.

Wireless Power Transmission

1940s to Present
World

War II developed ability to convert energy to microwaves using a magnetron, no method for converting microwaves back to electricity 1964 William C. Brown demonstrated a rectenna which could convert microwave power to electricity

Microwave transmission

Microwave transmissionrefers to the technology oftransmittinginformation by the use ofradio waveswhosewavelengthsare conveniently measured in small numbers ofcentimeters; these are calledmicrowaves. This part of theradio spectrumranges acrossfrequenciesof roughly 1.0gigahertz(GHz) to 30GHz. These correspond to wavelengths from 30centimetersdown to 1.0cm.

Microwave Power Transfer(MPT) Cont.

Transfers

high power from one place to another. Two places being in line of sight usually Steps:

Electrical energy to microwave energy Capturing microwaves using rectenna Microwave energy to electrical energy

MP T (cont.)
AC

can not be directly converted to microwave energy AC is converted to DC first DC is converted to microwaves using magnetron Transmitted waves are received at rectenna which rectifies, gives DC as the output DC is converted back to AC
Wireless Power Transmission

Rectenna

An antenna comprising a mesh of dipoles and diodes for absorbing microwave energy from a transmitter and converting it into electric power.

Microwaves

are received with about 85% efficiency. Around 5km across (3.1 miles) 95% of the beam will fall on the rectenna.

5,000 MW Receiving Station (Rectenna). This station is about a mile and a half long in US.

Space-based solar power

1968s

idea for Solar Power Satellites proposed by Peter Glaser Would use microwaves to transmit power to Earth from Solar Powered Satellites
To

efficiently make use of renewable energy i.e., solar energy Solar Powered Satellites are placed in geostationary orbits
Wireless Power Transmission

From the Satellite

Solar

power from the satellite is sent to Earth using a microwave transmitter Received at a rectenna located on Earth

Possible Designs

Advantages over Earth based solar power

More

intense sunlight In geosynchronous orbit, 36,000 km (22,369 miles) an SPS would be illuminated over 99% of the time No need for costly storage devices for when the sun is not in view

Only a few days at spring and fall equinox would the satellite be in shadow

SPS 2000

Details
Project

in Development in Japan Goal is to build a low cost demonstration model by 2025 8 Countries along the equator have agreed to be the site of a rectenna

Continued

10 MW satellite delivering microwave power

Will

not be in geosynchronous orbit, instead low orbit 1100 km (683 miles) Much cheaper to put a satellite in low orbit 200 seconds of power on each pass over rectenna

Advantages of Wireless energy transfer

Efficient Easy Need

for grids, substations etc are eliminated Low maintenance cost More effective when the transmitting and receiving points are along a lineof-sight Can reach the places which are remote
Wireless Power Transmission

Conclusions
More

reliable than Traditional power In order for WPT to become a reality it several things have to happen:

Government support Cheaper launch prices Involvement of the private sector
