Optical wireless power transmission (OWPT) is a good candidate for long-distance underwater wireless power transmission. In this work we investigate the transmission efficiency of underwater OWPT, depending on the operating wavelength. We consider four operating wavelengths: infrared, red, green, and blue. We also consider the cases of pure water and sea water for the working conditions. Our results show that it is necessary to select the operating wavelength of underwater OWPT according to the transmission distance and water type of the target application.

Wireless power transmission introduced by Tesla has instrumented by many scientists of the world. This technique first was utilized as wireless communications such as radio in long range transmission. And contactless transmission using inductive property was used on white goods. In 2007, MIT' lab introduced that new wireless power transmission by magnetic resonance which has about 50% efficiency and 2M transmission distances, it was a chance to refocus a new possibility of wireless power transmission. In this paper, using LC coupling compensate the short distances of contactless transmission, this simple method could transmit about 30cm distances. Using this approach, it can be solved the short transmission distances, a drawback of Electromagnetic inductive coupling method.

Previous studies have selected wireless power transmission system using 2.45 GHz of ISM band, but the researches for 5.8 GHz microwave wireless power transmission have been relatively rare. The 5.8 GHz has some advantages compared with 2.45 GHz. Those are smaller antenna and smaller integrated system for RFIC. In this paper, the 5.8 GHz wireless power transmission system was developed and transmission efficiency was measured according to the distance. A transmitter sent the amplified microwaves through an antenna amplified by a power amplifier of 1W for 5.8 GHz, and a receiver was converted to DC from RF through a RF-DC Converter. In the 1W 5.8GHz wireless power transmission system, the converted currents and voltages were measured to evaluate transmission efficiency at each distance where LED lights up to 1m. The RF-DC Converter is designed and fabricated by impedance matching using full-wave rectifier circuit. The transmission-efficiency of the system shows from 1.05% at 0cm to 0.095% at 100cm by distance.

Many studies are being conducted to implement wireless charging, for example, for cellular phones or electronic tooth brushes, via wireless power transmission technique. However, the magnetic induction method had a very short transmission distance. To solve this problem, the team of Professor Marin Soljacic proposed a magnetic resonance system that used two resonance coils with the same resonance frequency. It had an approximately 40% efficiency at a 2m distance. The system improved the low efficiency and short distance problems of the existing systems. So it could also widen the application range of wireless power transmission. Many studies on the subject are underway. In this paper, the superconductor coil was used to improve the efficiency of magnetic resonance wireless power transmission. The resonance wireless power transmission system had a source coil, a load coil, and resonance coils (a transmitter and a receiver). The efficiency and distance depended on the characteristics of the transmitter and receiver coils that had the same resonance frequency. Therefore, two resonance coils were fabricated by superconductors. The current density of the superconductor was higher than that of the normal conductor coil. Accordingly, it had a high quality-factor and improved efficiency.

The energy constraint is still a common issue for the practical application of wireless sensors, since they are usually powered by batteries which limit their lifetime. In this paper, a practical compound energy efficiency strategy is proposed and realized in the implementation of a real time wireless sensor platform. The platform is intended for wireless structural monitoring applications and consists of three parts, wireless sensing unit, base station and data acquisition and configuration software running in a computer within the Matlab environment. The high energy efficiency of the wireless sensor platform is achieved by a proposed adaptive radio transmission power control algorithm, and some straightforward methods, including adopting low power ICs and high efficient power management circuits, low duty cycle radio polling and switching off radio between two adjacent data packets' transmission. The adaptive transmission power control algorithm is based on the statistical average of the path loss estimations using a moving average filter. The algorithm is implemented in the wireless node and relies on the received signal strength feedback piggybacked in the ACK packet from the base station node to estimate the path loss. Therefore, it does not need any control packet overheads. Several experiments are carried out to investigate the link quality of radio channels, validate and evaluate the proposed adaptive transmission power control algorithm, including static and dynamic experiments.

무선 전력전송기에서 두 유도 코일 사이의 무선 전력전송 특성과 영향에 대해서 알아보고, 무선 전력전송 기술을 이용한 전력변환기 회로와 배터리 충·방전기 회로를 제안한다. 무선 전력전송기 및 무선 충전기의 장점은 기존의 플러그인 탑재형 유선 충전기(OBC; on-board charger) 대신 무선으로 전력을 전송하여 배터리에 전력 충전 시 사용자가 외부에서 전원을 연결 시키지 않고 무선으로 충전할 수 있는 점이다. 또한 무선충전의 이점은 2차 측 정류기의 회로와 수신 코일을 사용하여 에너지 효율 향상 효과를 가져올 수 있으나, 대용량의 원거리 무선충전 방식은 전송거리에 대한 한계가 있어 현재 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 비 접촉 방식의 전력 전송기의 전력을 전송 할 수 있는 송신부 인 1차측 코일과 수신부인 2차측 코일 및 하프브리지(half bridge) 직렬공진 컨버터를 적용한 무선 전력전송장치의 송신부 회로와 수신부 회로의 연구를 목적으로 무선충전시스템의 전력전송거리 향상을 위한 새로운 토폴로지를 적용하고, 각각의 거리에 따른 실험을 통해 8 cm 전송거리에서 출력 3 kW 일 때, 최대 효율(95.8%)을 확인 할 수 있었다.

무선 패킷 망에서 무선 자원과 무선 단말의 전력을 얼마나 효율적으로 사용할 수 있는가 하는 것은 무선 패킷 망 보급을 위한 기본 해결 과제이다. 이에 단말의 전력 소모를 줄이면서 무선 망 용량 (capacity)을 증가시키는 기법으로 전송 파워 조절 기법이 주목받고 있다. 무선 패킷 망에 전송 파워 조절 기법을 적용할 때 전송 파워의 세기에 따라 공평한 전송성능을 보장하지 못하고 기아상태에 이르는 전송 불공평성 문제가 지금까지 깊이 연구되지 않고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전송 파워의 세기에 따른 성능 불공평성을 경쟁자 수의 차이에 의한 불공평한 매체 접근 기회에 있음을 분석을 통해 보이고 불공평성을 해결하기 위한 간단한 물리-맥 (PHY-MAC) 계층 간 접근법을 제안한다.

As civil infrastructures continue to deteriorate, the demand for structural health monitoring (SHM) has increased. Despite its outstanding capability for damage identification, many conventional SHM techniques are restricted to huge structures because of their wired system for data and power transmission. Although wireless data transmission using radio-frequency techniques has emerged vis-$\grave{a}$-vis wireless sensors in SHM, the power supply issue is still unsolved. Normal batteries cannot support civil infrastructure for no longer than a few decades. In this study, we develop a magnetic resonance-based wireless power transmission system, and its performance is validated in three different mediums: air, unreinforced concrete, and reinforced concrete. The effect of concrete and steel rebars is analyzed.

The electrical safety and efficiency is the most important thing of the electric vehicle charging system. The prior system is contact charging system that is contacted directly by human. So, it has riskiness such as electric shock in the case of poor insulation or contact problems. To solve these safety issues and the convenience problems, a wireless power transmission system has been developed and is currently in trial operation. However, because high frequency is used in wireless power transmission system instead of commercial frequency, we need to apply protection measures concerning electric shock and equipment protection. Also, it should be accompanied by measuring efficiency for the effective operation of the wireless power transmission system. Therefore, we structured monitoring system in trial operation area of wireless power transmission system and applied decision algorithm for protection of human and equipment and economic operation of it.
