• Advantages and disadvantage• Applications• Conclusion

INTRODUCTION
• 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.

DEFINITION
• 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
HISTORY
• Nikola Tesla in late 1890s
• His vision for “World Wireless System”
• The 187 feet tall tower to broadcast energy
• All people can have access to free energy
• Due to shortage of funds, tower did not operate
6
HISTORY
• Tesla was able to transfer energy from one coil to another coil
• He managed to light 200 lamps from a distance of 40km
• The idea of Tesla is taken in to research after 100 years by a team led by Marin Soljačić from MIT. The project is named as ‘WiTricity’.

METHODS
Different methods of transmission proposed by different scientist and scholars are:
1. Atmospheric conduction method of Tesla
2. Electrodynamic induction method:Microwave methodLaser method

ATMOSPHERIC CONDUCTION METHOD
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 the earth .

ATMOSPHERIC CONDUCTION METHODHigh 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 .
10
LIMITATIONS OF ATMOSPHERIC CONDUCTION METHOD
• Economically challenging.
• Periodic changes in atmospheric condition.
• Maintaining high tower potential every time.
11
ELECTRODYNAMIC INDUCTION METHOD• We bring electromagnetic radiation into practice,
which uses far field technique in order to achieve range into kilos, which includes two techniques:
• LASERS• MICROWAVE
LASER TRANSMISSION
• Not dispersed for very long• LASER is highly directional, coherent• But, gets attenuated when it propagates through
atmosphere• Simple receiver• Photovoltaic cell• Cost-efficient

LASER METHOD
• 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.

MICROWAVE METHOD
• 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

APPLICATIONS
Near-field energy transferElectric automobile charging
○ Static and movingConsumer electronicsIndustrial purposes
○ Harsh environment Far-field energy transfer
Solar Power SatellitesEnergy to remote areasCan broadcast energy globally (in future)

ADVANTAGES
• 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
17
DISADVANTAGES
• When microwaves are used, interference may arise • 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 under safety levels • High frequency signals should be supplied for air
ionization which is not feasible.
18
CONCLUSION
• Transmission without wires- a reality• Efficient• Low maintenance cost. But, high initial cost• Better than conventional wired transfer• Energy crisis can be decreased• Low loss • In near future, world will be completely
wireless
