Wireless power transmission: As an emerging technology

Abstract

Wireless power transmission (WPT) is the transmission of electric power devoid of using cable or conductor from electricity source to an output terminal. This technology is beneficial in locations that are not easily served by wired electricity, dangerous or unfeasible for cable connection and since the transmission is in form of microwave, there is no power loss from the generating and distribution stations and WPT technologies have great future for new commerce/business zone. This paper provides a survey of wireless power transmission as an emerging technology, its recent advancement and application areas.
