Keynote Talk 1:
Wireless Power Transfer: Theory and Technology

Abstract

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) enables power to be transferred from a grid or storage unit to a device without the need for cable connections. Inductive coupling is the most widely used wireless technology with various applications. In this talk, the brief history of WPT are introduced and then the latest topics in theory and technology of WPT based on inductive and resonance coupling are focused. Applications of coupling WPT for electric vehicle (EV) charging and for driving EV; medical applications for implantable electromagnetic devices; and biological interactions of electromagnetic fields and waves are also discussed.
