Inductive Power Transfer
Group 10 Muralidhar Konda Shourie Reddy
OBJECTIVE
● The main aim of the project is to design and construct a method to transfer wireless Electrical Power to charge a low power device so as to reduce the usage of “wires”. ● Another application would be to include charging of multiple devices using a single source .
SPECIFICATIONS
● High frequency (upto 100-500 KHz) ● High Efficiency(40-50%) which can be achieved by increasing the coupling between the transmitter and receiver. ● The range should not be less than 10 cms. ● High current(500mA or more).
METHODS
There are different methods by which power can be transmitted wirelessly. Some of them would be ● Using Inductive Coupling for short range. ● Resonant Induction for mid range. ● Electromagnetic wave power transfer for high range.
TRANSMITTER MODULE
● The transmitter module of our project is made up of a D.C. power source, an oscillator circuit(royer oscillator in our case) and a transmitter coil. ● The D.C. power source provides a constant D.C. voltage to the input of the oscillator circuit. There, this D.C. power is converted to a high frequency A.C. power and is supplied to the transmitter coil. ● The transmitter coil, energized by the high frequency A.C. current, produces an alternating magnetic field.
ROYER OSCILLATOR
FREQUENCY MODIFICATION
● The oscillator runs at the frequency determined by the inductance of the coil and the capacitor value ● The operating frequency is the familiar formula for resonance. ● W=1/sqrt(LC) ● F= 1/(2 × π × sqrt(LC)).

RECEIVER MODULE
● The receiver module of our project is made up of a receiver coil, a rectifier circuit and a voltage regulator IC. ● An A.C. voltage is induced in the receiver coil. The rectifier circuit converts it to D.C. and the voltage regulator IC helps to maintain a constant limited voltage at the load.

SIMULATION RESULTS
RESULTS
● By giving a Dc voltage of 13 V at the input,plots of power efficiency and current were calculated by varying the distance between the two coils. ● From the observations we concluded that charging of a mobile can be done upto a maximum range of 4cm, while LED can be lit upto a maximum range of 10cm.

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
● In our project the main goal was to design and implement a system that transmits power to charge low power devices without wire. In this purpose, a transmitter circuit was implemented. ● At the end of the transmitter circuit a coil was connected, which transmits the power. Another coil was used to receive the power wirelessly from the transmitter circuit. ● In this project, the coil was made with a copper wire(1.7mm thickness).Initially we used a copper wire with less thickness but we opted for a wire with higher thickness as it can tolerate higher currents.
PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
● Efficiency increased when the two coils were parallel to each other as it results in higher transfer of power. ● To transmit the power to a greater distance, a high power radio frequency amplifier connected with an oscillator is needed which is costly and requires more time. ● The frequency at which our circuit was operating was 600700 KHz.
APPLICATIONS AND BENEFITS
● Any place where wires have a role to play, they can be replaced by this method. ● Cost Efficient. ● Convenient and Simple. ● No moving/mechanical Parts. ● Multiple Receivers from a single transmitter.
MODERN WIRELESS CHARGING
● A transmitter unit comprises a primary coil, which creates a magnetic field by applying an alternating current to a winding, coil, or any type of current carrying wire. ● A receiver comprises a means for receiving the energy from the alternating magnetic field and transferring it to a mobile or other device. ● For installing receiver circuit inside the electronic device initially the whole circuit has to be converted onto a chip.
