Wireless power transmission using solar energy

What is wireless power transfer using solar energy?

This chapter has presented brief outline of the state-of-the-art and developments in wireless power transfer using solar energy. The harvesting technologies of ambient solar radiation like solar photovoltaic, kinetic, thermal or electro-magnetic (EM) energy can be used to recharge the batteries and power various electronic gadgets.

How can solar power be transmitted without wires?

These recent developments give technology based on how to transmit electrical power without any wires, with a small-scale by using solar energy. The power can also be transferred wirelessly through an inductive coupling as an antenna.

How does wireless power transfer work?

They developed the project based on electrical power without any wires, with a small-scale by using solar energy. The power is transferred wirelessly through an inductive coupling as an antenna. The experiments were conducted and the wireless power transfer can be transfer energy up to 10 cm. with efficiency 0–10 cm; 98.87% -40% [ 12 ].

What is solar photovoltaic & wireless power transfer (WPT)?

The brief state-of-the-art is presented for solar photovoltaic technologies which can be combined with wireless power transfer (WPT) to interact with the ambient solar energy. The main purpose of the solar photovoltaic system is to distribute the collected electrical energy in various small-scale power applications wirelessly.

What is the state-of-the-art of wireless power transfer using solar energy?

The State-of-the-Art of Wireless Power Transfer using Solar Energy is also described along with the literature review. The later part of the chapter contains novel concept of transmitter design of a parallel plate photovoltaic amplifier device integrated in a Building.

Which Papers highlight solar energy based wireless energy transfer?

Only few relevant papers which highlight solar energy based wireless power transfer are briefly discussed here. Zambari et al., investigated the development of wireless energy transfer module for solar energy harvesting [ 11 ]. They studied the module of wireless energy transfer (WET) for interaction with the ambient solar energy.
