 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 approximately 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 propsoed methods of transmission of
electricity using electromagnetic induction
 As the world wireless means “without wires”.
 Wireless energy transfer or wireless power is the
transmission of electrical energy from a power
source to an electrical load without
interconnecting man made conductors.
 Wireless transmission is useful in cases where
 Interconnecting wires are inconvenient,hazardous
or impossible.
Sir NICOLA TESLA was the first one to propose and
research the idea of wireless transmission in 1899,since
than many scholars and scientists have been working to
make his dream a reality.
1899:- tesla continues wireless power transmission
research in Colorado springs and writes, “the inferiority
of the induction method would appear immerse as
compared with the disturbed charge or ground an air
method”.
1961:-William.C.Brown publishes an article exploring
possibilities of microwave power transmission.
2009:-Sony shows a wireless electrodynamics-induced
powered TV set,60W over 50cm.
 Different methods of transmission proposed by
different scientist and scholars are:-
1.atmospheric conduction method of tesla.
2.Electrodynamic induction method
 Microwave method
 Laser method
In 1899 Sir NICOLA TESLA and HENRICH
HERTZ powered a fluorescent lamp keeping it
25miles 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 back of the transmitter is completed
through the earth.
High potential is maintained at transmitter and receiver
end as well. A high potential transmitter 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.
 Economically challenging
 Periodic changes in atmospheric condition
 Maintaining high tower potential every time.
We bring electromagnetic radiation into practice,
which uses far field technique in order to achieve
range into kilos which includes two techniques:-
 Laser
 Microwave
 In the case of electromagnetic radiation closer to visible
region of spectrum 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.

 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.
 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.
 When microwave are used, interference may a rise.
 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.
 Near field energy transfer.
 Electric automobile charging.
 Consumer electronics.
 Industrial purposes.
 far field energy transfer.
 Solar power satellites.
 Energy to remote areas.
 Can broadcast energy globally(in future).
 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
