Efficient design methodology for inductive energy transmission

Abstract

Wirelessly transferred energy for mobile devices, systems and sensors provides a huge number of advantages, which find a direct application in all areas where the connecting cable represent a development bottleneck or a mechanical, electrical and biological challenge. In the domain of consumer electronics, the wireless energy transmission can be used in order to charge laptops, tablet PCs, smart-phones and any kind of daily used mobile device which must be regularly charged. In the area of the industrial production where electronic systems are brought on mobile and articulated parts of the robots, the wireless energy transmission technology is very useful to transfer the energy on badly reachable parts by avoiding the huge problems related to twisted cable structures or galvanic contacts. Another application domain for wireless energy transmission concerns the medical devices and implants. Medical electronic devices which are used in operation rooms must be absolutely aseptic
