Study Notes
Wireless Power Transfer
- Wireless power transfer (WPT) efficiently transmits electricity without wires.
- WPT can be used for charging various devices simultaneously with a single power outlet.
- Inductive coupling is a simple and effective method for WPT, transferring power through magnetic fields.
Inductive Coupling
- Inductive coupling works on the principle of electromagnetism.
- When a wire is near a magnetic field, a magnetic field forms in that wire; transferring energy via magnetic fields.
- Two circuits are magnetically coupled if a portion of one circuit's magnetic flux interlinks with another circuit.
- Mutual inductance measures the inductive coupling between two conductors.
Inductive Charging
- Inductive charging uses electromagnetic fields to transfer energy between coils.
- A charging station's induction coil creates an alternating electromagnetic field.
- The portable device's induction coil captures the power, converting it back into electrical current to charge the battery.
- Resonant inductive coupling is used for longer distances.
Inductance of Coil and Coil Design
- Real inductors contain resistance and capacitance values.
- Losses in core material and parasitic capacitance values of the wire influence the inductor's behavior at high frequencies.
Circuit Diagrams
- Diagrams of the transmitter and receiver circuits are provided, along with component details and values.
Components Used in Transmitter
- A list of components used in the transmitter circuit with their corresponding values or codes.
Components Used in Receiver
- A list of components used in the receiver circuit with their corresponding values or codes.
Components Specification (Capacitor)
- Capacitors store electrical energy; consisting of two conductors, insulated from each other.
- A parallel plate capacitor is a simple example.
- If equal positive and negative charges are deposited on the plates, the capacitor is charged.
Resistors
- Resistors are components that resist the flow of electrons, causing energy loss in the form of heat.
- Resistors' values are measured in ohms.
Diodes
- Diodes allow current flow in one direction but block it in the opposite direction.
- A P-N junction diode, consisting of p- and n-type materials, is a common type.
- Diodes' direction of current flow depends on whether they are forward or reverse biased.
MOSFET
- MOSFETs are more advanced field-effect transistors (FETs).
- MOSFETs are designed to solve the disadvantages of other FETs. These include high drain resistance, moderate input impedance, and slow operation.
- MOSFET usage is suitable owing to their lightly doped substrate which is diffused with a heavily doped region.
Radio Frequency Choke
- Inductors and RF chokes are similar.
- Inductors/RF chokes' design varies to either choke off or transmit high/low-frequency alternating current (AC) signals.
- If high-frequency impedance is needed, a larger inductance is needed.
Working of Transmitter
- The transmitter module is comprised of a DC power source, oscillator circuit, and transmitter coil.
- This arrangement converts a DC supply to high-frequency AC supply, which produces an alternating magnetic field.
Working of Oscillator
- The oscillator circuit (crucial for WPT) utilizes components (chokes, MOSFETs, capacitors) to generate specific oscillating current flows for efficiency.
- Oscillator runs at a frequency that depends on inductance values and capacitive values of components.
Working of Receiver
- The receiver module consists of a receiver coil, rectifier circuit, and voltage regulator IC.
- An AC voltage is induced in the receiver coil; rectified to DC by a rectifier.
- A voltage regulator circuit controls the output voltage.
Operation of Bridge Rectifier
- During a positive AC half-cycle (input), diodes D1 and D3 are forward biased and conduct.
- During a negative AC half-cycle, diodes D2 and D4 are forward biased.
Voltage Regulator IC
- A voltage regulator IC automatically maintains a constant voltage level.
- Used for controlling the output voltage for the receiver.
Buck Converter
- A buck converter converts a higher DC voltage to a lower one with low power loss.
- This is an optional component but necessary when you need to increase current at the output.
Conclusion
- The project successfully designed and implemented a wireless charging system.
- Resonant inductive coupling is effective for wireless power transfer.
Possible Applications
- Wireless chargers for various devices (phones, tablets, etc.)
- Public charging stations
- Usage with various items such as TV remotes, cordless tools, hearing aids
Advantages
- Removes wires, making use more user friendly. Simplifies and is more convenient.
Disadvantages
- Higher power loss with greater distances. Increase in distances correlates with loss.
