Wireless power transfer : fueling the dots
Resonant Inductive Coupling Wireless Power Transfer (RIC-WPT) has been proven to provide very high power transfer efficiencies (above 80%) for moderate distances, and is hence foreseen as a key technology to enable wireless power transfer to a myriad of different devices and related applications.

| Sumario: | Resonant Inductive Coupling Wireless Power Transfer (RIC-WPT) has been proven to provide very high power transfer efficiencies (above 80%) for moderate distances, and is hence foreseen as a key technology to enable wireless power transfer to a myriad of different devices and related applications. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of the WPT underlying principles, several approaches have been provided to analyze RIC-WPT systems from different perspectives (encompassing Electromagnetic fields, Circuit models and Optics), but they have failed to provide a unified model to understand and ultimately to design the behaviour of such systems. This thesis is therefore aimed to, first, provide a multi-modal RIC-WPT complete model oriented to the design and in turn optimisation of RIC-WPT systems and, secondly, to explore and characterize the fundamental challenges precluding the widespread deployment of RIC-WPT and thereby accordingly to yield a set of design guidelines to overcome them. Finally, and due to the fact that multi-node RIC-WPT systems are key to the adoption of this technology, this thesis models, characterizes and analyzes Multiple-Input Multiple-Output RIC WPT Systems, making special emphasis on their scalability. |
