What is WPT? The transmission of energy from one place
to another without using wires Conventional energy transfer is using wires As per studies, most electrical energy
transfer is through wires. Most of the energy loss is during
transmission• On an average, more than 30%• In India, it exceeds 40%

Why WPT?
ReliableEfficientFastLow maintenance costCan be used for short-range or long-range.
1940’s to Present
World War II developed ability to convert energy to microwaves using a magnetron, no method for converting microwaves back to electricity
1964 William C. Brown demonstrated a rectenna which could convert microwave power to electricity
Microwave transmission
Microwave transmission refers to the technology of transmitting information by the use of radio waves whose wavelengths are conveniently measured in small numbers of centimeters; these are called microwaves.
This part of the radio spectrum ranges across frequencies of roughly 1.0 gigahertz (GHz) to 30 GHz.
These correspond to wavelengths from 30 centimeters down to 1.0 cm.

Microwave Power Transfer(MPT) Cont.
Transfers high power from one place to another. Two places being in line of sight usually
Steps: Electrical energy to microwave energy Capturing microwaves using rectenna Microwave energy to electrical energy

MP T (cont.…) AC can not be directly converted to
microwave energy AC is converted to DC first DC is converted to microwaves using
magnetron Transmitted waves are received at
rectenna which rectifies, gives DC as the output
DC is converted back to AC
Rectenna
“An antenna comprising a mesh of dipoles and diodes for absorbing microwave energy from a transmitter and converting it into electric power.”
Microwaves are received with about 85% efficiency.
Around 5km across (3.1 miles)95% of the beam will fall on the
rectenna.
5,000 MW Receiving Station (Rectenna). This station is about a mile and a half long in US.

Space-based solar power 1968’s idea for Solar Power Satellites
proposed by Peter Glaser Would use microwaves to transmit power to
Earth from Solar Powered Satellites To efficiently make use of renewable
energy i.e., solar energy Solar Powered Satellites are placed in
geostationary orbits
From the Satellite
Solar power from the satellite is sent to Earth using a microwave transmitter
Received at a “rectenna” located on Earth
Possible Designs
Advantages over Earth based solar power More intense sunlight In geosynchronous orbit, 36,000 km
(22,369 miles) an SPS would be illuminated over 99% of the time
No need for costly storage devices for when the sun is not in view Only a few days at spring and fall equinox
would the satellite be in shadow

Current Developments
SPS 2000
Details
Project in Development in Japan
Goal is to build a low cost demonstration model by 2025
8 Countries along the equator have agreed to be the site of a rectenna
Continued
10 MW satellite delivering microwave power Will not be in geosynchronous orbit,
instead low orbit 1100 km (683 miles)
Much cheaper to put a satellite in low orbit
200 seconds of power on each pass over rectenna

Advantages of Wireless energy transfer Efficient Easy Need for grids, substations etc are
eliminated Low maintenance cost More effective when the transmitting
and receiving points are along a line-of-sight
Can reach the places which are remote
Conclusions
More reliable than Traditional power In order for WPT to become a reality it
several things have to happen: Government support Cheaper launch prices Involvement of the private sector
