Wireless Power Transmission
International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 5, Issue 10, October-2014 125 ISSN 2229-5518 Wireless Power Transmission Mystica Augustine Michael Duke Final year student, Mechanical Engineering, CEG, Anna university, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India [email protected] ABSTRACT- The technology for wireless power transfer (WPT) is a varied and a complex process. The demand for electricity is much higher than the amount being produced. Generally, the power generated is transmitted through wires. To reduce transmission and distribution losses, researchers have drifted towards wireless energy transmission. The present paper discusses about the history, evolution, types, research and advantages of wireless power transmission. There are separate methods proposed for shorter and longer distance power transmission; Inductive coupling, Resonant inductive coupling and air ionization for short distances; Microwave and Laser transmission for longer distances. The pioneer of the field, Tesla attempted to create a powerful, wireless electric transmitter more than a century ago which has now seen an exponential growth. This paper as a whole illuminates all the efficient methods proposed for transmitting power without wires. —————————— —————————— INTRODUCTION Wireless power transfer involves the transmission of power from a power source to an electrical load without connectors, across an air gap. The basis of a wireless power system involves essentially two coils – a transmitter and receiver coil. The transmitter coil is energized by alternating current to generate a magnetic field, which in turn induces a current in the receiver coil (Ref 1). The basics of wireless power transfer involves the inductive transmission of energy from a transmitter to a receiver via an oscillating magnetic field. -

PP 67-77 www.iosrjournals.org Transmission Line Characteristics Nitha s.Unni1, Soumya A.M.2 1(Electronics and Communication Engineering, SNGE/ MGuniversity, India) 2(Electronics and Communication Engineering, SNGE/ MGuniversity, India) Abstract: A Transmission line is a device designed to guide electrical energy from one point to another. It is used, for example, to transfer the output rf energy of a transmitter to an antenna. This report provides detailed discussion on the transmission line characteristics. Math lab coding is used to plot the characteristics with respect to frequency and simulation is done using HFSS. Keywords - coupled line filters, micro strip transmission lines, personal area networks (pan), ultra wideband filter, uwb filters, ultra wide band communication systems. I. INTRODUCTION Transmission line is a device designed to guide electrical energy from one point to another. It is used, for example, to transfer the output rf energy of a transmitter to an antenna. This energy will not travel through normal electrical wire without great losses. Although the antenna can be connected directly to the transmitter, the antenna is usually located some distance away from the transmitter. On board ship, the transmitter is located inside a radio room and its associated antenna is mounted on a mast. A transmission line is used to connect the transmitter and the antenna The transmission line has a single purpose for both the transmitter and the antenna. This purpose is to transfer the energy output of the transmitter to the antenna with the least possible power loss. -

At present, most the WSNs are battery powered, but batteries must be changed frequently in this method. If the changes are not on time, the energy of sensors will be insufficient, leading to node faults or even networks interruptions. In order to solve the problem of poor power supply reliability in WSNs, a novel power supply method, the single-wire power transfer method, is utilized in this paper. This method uses only one wire to connect source and load. According to the characteristics of WSNs, a single-wire power transfer system for WSNs was designed. The characteristics of directivity and multi-loads were analyzed by simulations and experiments to verify the feasibility of this method. The results show that the total efficiency of the multi-load system can reach more than 70% and there is no directivity. Additionally, the efficiencies are higher than wireless power transfer (WPT) systems under the same conductions. -

A Brief History and Review of Accelerators
A BRIEF HISTORY AND REVIEW OF ACCELERATORS P.J. Bryant CERN, Geneva, Switzerland ABSTRACT The history of accelerators is traced from three separate roots, through a rapid development to the present day. The well-known Livingston chart is used to illustrate how spectacular this development has been with, on average, an increase of one and a half orders of magnitude in energy per decade, since the early thirties. Several present-day accelerators are reviewed along with plans and hopes for the future. 1 . INTRODUCTION High-energy physics research has always been the driving force behind the development of particle accelerators. They started life in physics research laboratories in glass envelopes sealed with varnish and putty with shining electrodes and frequent discharges, but they have long since outgrown this environment to become large-scale facilities offering services to large communities. Although the particle physics community is still the main group, they have been joined by others of whom the synchrotron light users are the largest and fastest growing. There is also an increasing interest in radiation therapy in the medical world and industry has been a long-time user of ion implantation and many other applications. Consequently accelerators now constitute a field of activity in their own right with professional physicists and engineers dedicated to their study, construction and operation. This paper will describe the early history of accelerators, review the important milestones in their development up to the present day and take a preview of future plans and hopes. 2 . HISTORICAL ROOTS The early history of accelerators can be traced from three separate roots. -
Concept of an Accelerator-Driven Advanced Nuclear Energy System
Article Concept of an Accelerator-Driven Advanced Nuclear Energy System Xuesong Yan, Lei Yang *, Xunchao Zhang and Wenlong Zhan Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lanzhou 730000, China; [email protected] (X.Y.); [email protected] (X.Z.); [email protected] (W.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-931-4969-187 Academic Editor: Hiroshi Sekimoto Received: 24 March 2017; Accepted: 10 May 2017; Published: 7 July 2017 Abstract: The utilization of clean energy is a matter of primary importance for sustainable development as well as a vital approach for solving worldwide energy-related issues. If the low utilization rate of nuclear fuel, nuclear proliferation, and insufficient nuclear safety can be solved, nuclear fission energy could be used as a sustainable and low-carbon clean energy form for thousands of years, providing steady and base-load electrical resources. To address these challenges, we propose an accelerator-driven advanced nuclear energy system (ADANES), consisting of a burner system and a fuel recycle system. In ADANES, the ideal utilization rate of nuclear fuel will be >95%, and the final disposal of nuclear waste will be minimized. The design of a high-temperature ceramic reactor makes the burner system safer. Part of fission products (FPs) are removed during the simple reprocessing in the fuel recycle system, significantly reducing the risks of nuclear proliferation of nuclear technology and materials. The ADANES concept integrates nuclear waste transmutation, nuclear fuel breeding, and safety power production, with an ideal closed loop operation of nuclear fission energy, constituting a major innovation of great potential interest for future energy applications.
