The document discusses wireless power transmission, which involves transmitting electrical energy from a power source to devices without using wires. It describes different wireless power transmission methods proposed over time, including Tesla's atmospheric conduction method from 1899 and more recent microwave and laser beam methods. The document also covers applications of wireless power transmission, as well as advantages like low maintenance costs and disadvantages like high initial costs and safety concerns.

3. • One of the major issues in power system is the losses
occurring during the transmission and distribution of
electrical power.
• The percentage of loss of power during transmission and
distribution is approximated as 26%.
• The main reason for power loss during transmission and
distribution is the resistance of wires used in grid.
• According to the World Resources Institute (WRI), India’s
electricity grid has the highest transmission and
distribution losses in the world – a whopping 27-40%.
• Tesla has proposed methods of transmission of electricity
using electromagnetic induction.

4. • As the word wireless means “without wire”.
• Wireless energy transfer or wireless power is the
transmission of electrical energy from a power source to an
electric load without interconnecting man made
•
conductors.
Wireless transmission is useful in cases where
interconnecting wires are inconvenient, hazardous or
impossible.

5. Sir NICOLAI TESLA was the first one to propose and research the idea of
wireless transmission in 1899, since than many scholars and scientists
have been working to make his dream a reality.
• 1899: Tesla continues wireless power transmission research in Colorado
Springs and writes, "the inferiority of the induction method would appear
immense as compared with the disturbed charge of ground and air
method
• 1961: William C. Brown publishes an article exploring
possibilities of microwave power transmission
• 2009: Sony shows a wireless electrodynamics-induction powered TV
set, 60 W over 50 cm

6. Different methods of transmission proposed by different
scientistand scholars are:
1. Atmosphericconduction method of Tesla
2. Electrodynamic induction method:
 Microwave method
 Laser method

7. In 1899 Sir NICOLAI TESLA and HEINRICH HERTZ powered a
fluorescent lamp keeping it 25 miles away from source without
using wire. Wireless power transmission experiments at
WARDEN CLYFFE High frequency current, of a Tesla coil, could
light lamps filled with gas (like neon). In this method a closed
circuit is made using transmitter, ionized path between upper
atmosphere and transmitter, second ionized path connecting
receiver. The circuit back to the transmitter is completed
through theearth .

8. High potential is maintained at transmitter and receiver end as
well. A high potential transmitter transmits an “electromotive
impulse” through the ionized path to the upper atmosphere
where it ionizes the air, and this air between the transmitter
and receiver would conduct like a neon tube .

9. • Economically challenging.
• Periodic changes in atmospheric condition.
• Maintaining high tower potential every time.

10.  We bring electromagnetic radiation into
practice, which uses far field technique in order
to achieve range into kilos, which includes two
techniques:
• LASERS
• MICROWAVE

11. ⚫LASER is highlydirectional, coherent
⚫Notdispersed forvery long
⚫But, getsattenuated when it propagates through
atmosphere
⚫Simplereceiver
⚫ Photovoltaic cell
⚫Cost-efficient

12. • In the case of electromagnetic radiation closer to visible
region of spectrum (10s of microns (um) to 10s of nm),
power can be transmitted by converting electricity into
a laser beam that is then pointed at a solar
cell receiver. This mechanism is generally known as
"power beaming" because the power is beamed at a
receiver that can convert it to usable electrical energy.

TRANSFORMER
OPTICAL FIBRE

13. • Power transmission via radio waves can be made more
directional, allowing longer distance power beaming, with
shorter wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, typically
in the microwave range. A rectenna may be used to convert
the microwave energy back into electricity. Rectenna
conversion efficiencies exceeding 95% have been realized.
Power beaming using microwaves has been proposed for
the transmission of energy from orbiting solar power
satellites to Earth.
• The principle of Evanescent Wave Coupling extends the
principle of Electromagnetic induction.

16. • When microwaves are used, interference mayarise
• When LASERS are used, conversion is inefficient due to
absorption losses.
• It is radioactive in nature
• Distance constraint , initial cost is high.
• Field strength has to be undersafety levels
• High frequency signals should be supplied for air
ionizationwhich is not feasible.
