Solar Power Satellite (SPS) is an energy system which collects energy from sun in space
& transmits it to the ground. It has been believed as promising way to reduce the
problem of future power needs. In future, wireless power transmission will be used due
to less maintenance requirement and other numerous benefits. Energy from sun is used
for wireless transmission of power. The concept of wireless transmission was realized
by Nikola Tesla. Wireless transmission can make a remarkable change in the field of
electrical engineering which eliminates the use of conventional copper wire. In this
project, renewable energy has been used as a source of wireless power transmission.
The DC output voltage from the solar cell is boosted using a high step-up converter and
it is converted to oscillating signals. These oscillating signals are amplified by using an
amplifier and then fed to transmission coil. By operating at resonant frequency and by
achieving good coupling between transmitter & receiver coil set up, the electrical
energy is transferred due to magnetic resonance between transmitter & receiver.
It is known that electromagnetic energy also associated with the propagation of the
electromagnetic waves. We can use theoretically all electromagnetic waves for a
wireless power transmission (WPT). The difference between the WPT and
communication systems is only efficiency. The Maxwell’s Equations indicate that the
electromagnetic field and its power diffuse to all directions. Although we transmit the
energy in the communication system, the transmitted energy is diffused to all directions.
Although the received power is enough for a transmission of information, the efficiency
from the transmitter to receiver is quiet low. Therefore, we do not call it the WPT
system.
Typical WPT is a point-to-point power transmission. For the WPT, we had better
concentrate power to receiver. It was proved that the power transmission efficiency can
approach close to 100%. We can more concentrate the transmitted microwave power to
the receiver aperture areas with taper method of the transmitting antenna power
distribution. Famous power tapers of the transmitting antenna are Gaussian taper,
Taylor distribution, and Chebychev distribution. These taper of the transmitting antenna
is commonly used for suppression of side lobes. It corresponds to increase the power
transmission efficiency. Concerning the power transmission efficiency of the WPT,
there are some good optical approaches in Russia.
At the same period of Marchese G. Marconi and Reginald Fessenden who are pioneers
of communication via radio waves, Nicola Tesla suggested an idea of the wireless
power transmission and carried out the first WPT experiment in 1899. He said “This
energy will be collected all over the globe preferably in small amounts, ranging from a
fraction of one to a few horse-power. One of its chief uses will be the illumination of
isolated homes”. He actually built a gigantic coil which was connected to a high mast
of 200-ft with a 3 ft-diameter ball at its top. He fed 300 kW power to the Tesla coil
resonated at 150 kHz. The RF potential at the top sphere reached 100 MV.
Unfortunately, he failed because the transmitted power was diffused to all directions
with 150 kHz radio waves whose wave length was 21 km.
Tesla went on to develop a wireless power distribution system that he hoped would be
capable of transmitting power long distance directly into homes and factories. Early on
he seemed to borrow from the ideas of Mahlon Loomis, proposing a system composed
of balloons to suspend transmitting and receiving electrodes in the air above 30,000 feet
(9,100 m) in altitude, where he thought the pressure would allow him to send high
voltages (millions of volts) long distances. To further study the conductive nature of low
pressure air he set up a test facility at high altitude in Colorado Springs during
1899. Experiments he conducted there with a large coil operating in the megavolts
range, as well as observations he made of the electronic noise of lightning strikes, led
him to conclude incorrectly that he could use the entire globe of the Earth to conduct
electrical energy. The theory included driving alternating current pulses into the Earth at
its resonant frequency from a grounded Tesla coil working against an elevated
capacitance to make the potential of the Earth oscillate. Tesla thought this would allow
alternating current to be received with a similar capacitive antenna tuned to resonance
Department of Electrical Engineering, SKIT M&G, Jaipur Page 3
with it at any point on Earth with very little power loss. His observations also led him to
believe a high voltage used in a coil at an elevation of a few hundred feet would "break
the air stratum down", eliminating the need for miles of cable hanging on balloons to
create his atmospheric return circuit. Tesla would go on the next year to propose a
"World Wireless System" that was to broadcast both information and power
worldwide. In 1901, at Shoreham, New York he attempted to construct a large high-
voltage wireless power station, now called Wardenclyffe Tower, but by 1904
investment dried up and the facility was never completed.
Inductive coupling is the oldest and most widely used wireless power technology, and
virtually the only one so far which is used in commercial products. It is used
in inductive charging stands for cordless appliances used in wet environments such
as electric toothbrushes and shavers, to reduce the risk of electric shock. Another
application area is "transcutaneous" recharging of biomedical prosthetic
devices implanted in the human body, such as cardiac pacemakers and insulin pumps, to
avoid having wires passing through the skin. It is also used to charge electric
vehicles such as cars and to either charge or power transit vehicles like buses and trains.
Capacitive coupling has only been used practically in a few low power applications,
because the very high voltages on the electrodes required to transmit significant power
can be hazardous, and can cause unpleasant side effects such as
noxious ozone production. In addition, in contrast to magnetic fields, electric fields
interact strongly with most materials, including the human body, due to dielectric
polarization. Intervening materials between or near the electrodes can absorb the
energy, in the case of humans possibly causing excessive electromagnetic field
exposure.
Power beaming by microwaves has the difficulty that, for most space applications, the
required aperture sizes are very large due to diffraction limiting antenna directionality.
For example, the 1978 NASA study of solar power satellites required a 1-kilometre-
diameter (0.62 mi) transmitting antenna and a 10-kilometre-diameter (6.2 mi) receiving
rectenna for a microwave beam at 2.45 GHz. These sizes can be somewhat decreased by
using shorter wavelengths, although short wavelengths may have difficulties with
atmospheric absorption and beam blockage by rain or water droplets. Because of the
"thinned-array curse", it is not possible to make a narrower beam by combining the
beams of several smaller satellites.
Following World War II, which saw the development of high-power microwave
emitters known as cavity magnetrons, the idea of using microwaves to transfer power
was researched. By 1964, a miniature helicopter propelled by microwave power had
been demonstrated.
Wireless high power transmission using microwaves is well proven. Experiments in the
tens of kilowatts have been performed at Goldstone in California in 1975 and more
recently (1997) at Grand Bassin on Reunion Island. These methods achieve distances on
the order of a kilometer. Under experimental conditions, microwave conversion
efficiency was measured to be around 54% across one meter. A change to 24 GHz has
been suggested as microwave emitters similar to LEDs have been made with very high
quantum efficiencies using negative resistance, i.e., Gunn or IMPATT diodes, and this
would be viable for short range links.
In 2013, inventor Hatem Zeine demonstrated how wireless power transmission using
phased array antennas can deliver electrical power up to 30 feet. It uses the same radio
frequencies as WiFi.
1.2.4 Laser
In the case of electromagnetic radiation closer to the visible region of the spectrum (.2
to 2 micrometers), power can be transmitted by converting electricity into a laser beam
that is received and concentrated onto photovoltaic cells (solar cells). This mechanism is
generally known as 'power beaming' because the power is beamed at a receiver that can
convert it to electrical energy. At the receiver, special photovoltaic laser power
converters which are optimized for monochromatic light conversion are applied.
Advantages compared to other wireless methods are:
Laser radiation is hazardous. Without a proper safety mechanism, low power levels can
blind humans and other animals. High power levels can kill through localized spot
heating.
Atmospheric absorption, and absorption and scattering by clouds, fog, rain, etc., causes
up to 100% losses.
The first wireless power system using lasers for consumer applications was
demonstrated in 2018, capable of delivering power to stationary and moving devices
across a room. This wireless power system complies with safety regulations according
to IEC 60825 standard. It is also approved by the US Food and Drugs Administration
(FDA).
Other details include propagation, and the coherence and the range limitation problem.
Geoffrey Landis is one of the pioneers of solar power satellites and laser-based transfer
of energy, especially for space and lunar missions. The demand for safe and frequent
space missions has resulted in proposals for a laser-powered space elevator.
NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center has demonstrated a lightweight unmanned
model plane powered by a laser beam. This proof-of-concept demonstrates the
feasibility of periodic recharging using a laser beam system.

Nikola Tesla first discovered resonant coupling during his pioneering experiments in
wireless power transfer around the turn of the 20th century, but the possibilities of using
resonant coupling to increase transmission range has only recently been explored. [56] In
2007 a team led by Marin Soljačić at MIT used two coupled tuned circuits each made of
a 25 cm self-resonant coil of wire at 10 MHz to achieve the transmission of 60 W of
power over a distance of 2 meters (6.6 ft) (8 times the coil diameter) at around 40%
efficiency.
Saurabh, Dhruv Kapur, Raju J in [1] investigated methods for wireless energy
transfer, the previous wireless energy transfer was only obtained from AC power
sources or via charged batteries. In the project they used the output of the solar panel
as a Production. Since the output of the solar module is very low, it was increased to
suitable values with the DC-DC boost converter. The increased direct current is then
converted into an oscillating signal. This signal is then transmitted wirelessly with a
transformer. The current is transmitted via the magnetic coupling between the
transformer configuration. The oscillating signal is passed through a rectifier circuit
Department of Electrical Engineering, SKIT M&G, Jaipur Page 15
and converted into direct current before it is fed into the load. The proposed wireless
transmission model is then tested and verified with simulation software such as
MATLAB / SIMULINK.
Izzul Fahmi Zambari, Chiah Yi Hui and Ramizi Mohamed developed a technique for
interacting with the solar energy in the environment [2]. The main idea of module
development is to distribute the electricity collected by a solar panel so that it can be
used wirelessly by the internal load devices. The solar panel they used in their
module was 240W, 30V, which is made from a polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic
solar panel and has a total of 60 cells. The design of the WET module is based on
magnetic resonance technology, in which two modules were developed for subunits.
Control circuit and two mutually induced coils for energy transmission at a suitable
resonance frequency. A Class D RF power amplifier was used as the driver circuit to
switch the transmitted coil, which has a theoretical advantage of almost 99%
efficiency. Three types of coils have been developed; There are circular coils, flat
spiral coils, and flat Rodin coils. The high quality Q factor (> 100) of each coil is
designed in such a way that the power loss in the coil is minimized. With the
maximum efficiency of the wireless energy transfer module, the energy collected by
the photovoltaic solar panel can be transferred with almost zero losses and greater
wireless transmission distance. The results showed that the flat spiral coils have
higher efficiency with a longer transmission distance that can be achieved compared
to the other models. The maximum transmission distance is 26 cm with an efficiency
of 80% with a quality factor of 272.62. Based on the results, it was shown that the
use of the coil with a high Q-factor and an appropriate resonance frequency coupling
coefficient results in higher energy transfer with greater distance. The experimental
results show that the optimal efficiency of the designed system with the circular
toroidal coil is 45.25% for the Q factor 413.62 and 36.5% for the Q factor 264.63.
Mr. John C. Mankins reported that the vision of bringing solar energy to Earth from
platforms in space has long been known. However, the first architectures to achieve
this vision were technically complex and were unlikely to prove economical [5].
Some of the issues with these early solar-powered satellite (SPS) concepts,
particularly with regards to technical feasibility, were addressed through space solar
energy (SSP) studies and technology research by NASA in the mid to late '90.
Despite these advances, some fundamental technical and economic uncertainties
remained ten years ago. A new SPS concept has been proposed that solves many, if
not all of these uncertainties: “SPSALPHA” (Solar Power Satellite via Arbitrually
Large Phased Array). In the period 2011-2012, the NASA Innovative Advanced
Concepts (NIAC) program supported a Phase 1 project "SPS-ALPHA", the aim of
which was to test the technical and economic feasibility of the SPS-ALPHA concept
for a first TRL 3- Analysis test to determine -of-concept - and provide a framework
for further studies and technological development. The objectives of this project
were: (1) to carry out an initial analysis of the end-to-end systems of the SPS-
Yan Wang et al. in [6] explained how wireless energy transmission differs from
traditional transmission mode and how it can meet the demands of scientific and
technological development. It can be widely used in electronic devices, implantable
medical devices, industry, and other fields and has become a benchmark for research
at home and abroad. This article presents the development history and classification
of wireless power transmission and its scope. Some if the wireless power
transmission methods in this document have been compared. This paper focuses on
the current research and development trend of paired magnetic resonance based
wireless power transmission (MCR-WPT).
Cong Wang et al. they illustrate the growing number of applications that power
wireless sensor networks (WSN) using wireless charging technology [7]. While
previous studies have shown that wireless charging can deliver power reliably, there
are still regulatory challenges to provide high power density without health risks.
With cluster WSNs in particular, there is a discrepancy between the high power
requirements of the cluster heads and the relatively low power supplies that can be
provided by wireless charging. Fortunately, harvesting solar energy can offer high
power density that is also risk free. However, it is subject to weather dynamics. So in
this article they propose a hybrid framework that combines the two technologies: the
cluster heads are equipped with solar panels to eliminate solar energy, and the rest of
the nodes are powered by wireless charging. First they investigate a positioning
problem in the distribution of solar energy. Improved cluster heads that minimize
overall costs and can suggest a distributed approximation algorithm for positioning.
Second, they establish an energy balance in the grid and investigate how this can be
maintained when sunlight is not available. Third, they consider the combination of
Department of Electrical Engineering, SKIT M&G, Jaipur Page 18
wireless charging and mobile data collection in a joint tour of such networks and
propose a polynomial scheduling algorithm. Their extensive simulation shows that
the hybrid framework can reduce battery consumption by 20% and reduce system
costs by 25% compared to previous results.
M Maqsood and M Nauman Nasir expressed concern about the exhaustion of energy
sources and the efficiency of renewable energy sources [8]. In the near future due to
extensive energy consumption, limited supply of resources and Environmental
pollution from the available resources, e.g. (Wood, coal, fossil fuels) etc. alternative
energy sources and new ways to generate energy that are efficient and inexpensive
Effective and minimal losses are of great importance. Wireless electricity (power
supply) Broadcasting (WET) has become a research focus and can be found in top
technology that is in researched phase right new. In their research they introduces the
concept of wireless energy transfer to reduce transmission and distribution Losses.
Cable distribution losses are 70 to 75% efficient. We cannot imagine the world
without electricity, which is efficient, inexpensive and associated with minimal
losses great group. In the article, they talk about the benefits of using WET
technology, specifically using solar-based energy satellites (SBPS), and also focus
on how we can make the electrical system economical, optimized and well
organized. In addition, the future should be highlighted Problems to index some
emerging solutions.
Andrew J. Capanella in [10] explained that a wireless power plant includes a solar
panel that generates a DC output voltage, power and control circuitry that receives
the DC output voltage and an electronic drive signal at a frequency f, z a source
magnetic resonator that oscillates in response to the electronic drive signal Near
magnetic field generated to power electronic devices in an area around the solar
panel.
M.R. Usikalu et al. describes Wireless Power Transfer (WPT), which enables
electrical energy to be transferred from the source to the electrical loads without a
physical connection [11]. This type of transmission is particularly beneficial when it
is not possible or appropriate to connect the wires to one another. In the WPT, the
most important parameter is the efficiency at which the energy transmitted by the
"facility" is drawn from the receiver, which defines the economic importance of this
system. Their study aims to show how electrical energy can be transmitted by
induction in the near field. To do this, the transmitter converts the DC power source
from an oscillator to the high frequency AC power connected to the wireless power
transmission coil. Their experiment showed how electricity can be transmitted over
certain distances from a resonance coil. The project showed that the mutual
inductance of two coupled coils that vibrate at a remarkably high frequency is
proportional to the output power of the system. In their experiment, it was observed
that inductors wound with 56 turns of copper wire around an iron core placed on the
same axis between them produced more efficient power transfer and higher output
than the inductors positioned on different axes. An immediate increase in voltage
was also measured as the power in the resonance coil gradually built up. Therefore,
its design can be applied in industry for power generation transmission without
conductor cables.
Yuhuan Zhou and Tomoyuki Miyamoto have researched that terminals for the
Internet of Things, such as many types of sensors, tags or beacons, wiring, and use of
batteries, are less effective power methods due to excessive installation and
maintenance costs. . Wireless power transmission is a promising candidate,
particularly Optical Wireless Power Transmission (OWPT), with its interesting
advantages of long transmission distance, good directivity, and small size [13]. In
their article, they also included previous OWPT research, almost all of which
focused on the laser as a light source, which is currently difficult to use in ordinary
rooms for possible safety reasons. In this study, an LED-based OWPT system was
designed and demonstrated that realizes a large power supply. With a 1.7 × 1.7 cm2
GaAs solar cell as the receiver, an output power of 223.9 mW was achieved from a
distance of 100 cm. About 77% of the efficiency of the optical system was confirmed
with an irradiation size of 2.1 × 2.3 cm 2. The overall power efficiency was 6.3%.
The wireless transfer of power can be achieved by three ways which are magnetic
coupling mode, electric field coupling mode and electromagnetic radiation mode. The
magnetic coupling mode is classified into short range electromagnetic induction and
mid-range strongly coupled magnetic resonance. The power transferred and the transfer
efficiency in the case of electromagnetic induction is high but the distance to which the
power is transferred is less. In the case of strongly coupled magnetic resonance method,
the power can be transferred for a longer distance with reduced efficiency when
compared to short range electromagnetic induction type. The main principle in the case
of electric field coupling mode is the redistribution of the surface charge on any object.
The transmitter is excited with a high voltage and high frequency source to generate an
alternating electric field which couples with the resonant receiver. The power
transferred in this mode is less and the efficiency of the power transfer is largely
affected by the surrounding medium. Lastly in the case of electromagnetic radiation, the
electric energy is converted into electromagnetic energy such as laser beams or
microwaves, which can be radiated over a longer distance. Then received
electromagnetic energy is converted back into electric energy. With the increased
distance of power transmission in electromagnetic radiation mode, the transfer
efficiency is reduced.
The dc-dc converters are mainly used in switch mode regulated power supply and also
in dc motor drive applications. These converters have many practical applications, such
as solar-cell energy systems, fuel cell energy conversion system, uninterruptable power
supply system etc. The DC-DC converter requires large boost conversion from the
panel’s low voltage to the voltage level of the appliance. Some converters increase turns
ratio of the coupled inductor obtain higher voltage than conventional boost converter.
Some converters are effective combination fly back and boost converters. They are a
range of converters combination developed to accomplish high voltage gain by using
Fig 3.1 shows the block diagram of the Wireless Power Transmission System model. It
consists of a solar panel which will be used as an input source, whose input voltage will
be boosted using a high step-up DC-DC converter. This high voltage is then converted
high frequency AC using class E power amplifiers. The oscillating signals are then fed
into the transmitter setup. By achieving proper resonance coupling between the
transmitter and the receiver setup power gets transferred wirelessly.
Figure 3.1. Block diagram of the proposed wireless power transmission system.
The fig 3.2 shows the two main stages of the proposed system. The first stage is the
high step-up dc-dc converter which converts the low input voltage from the PV Cell to a
higher value. The step-up converter has following advantages:
1. The converter has a high step-up conversion ratio because of the connection of the
coupled inductors, diodes and the capacitors.
Department of Electrical Engineering, SKIT M&G, Jaipur Page 25
2. It has very high efficiency and lower stress on the switches as the leakage inductor
energy can be recycled.
It consists of a coupled inductor T1 with the switch S1. The primary side winding N1 of
a coupled inductor T1 is identical to the input inductor of the traditional boost converter,
and diode D1, capacitor C1 receives leakage inductor energy from N1. The secondary
side winding N2 of coupled inductor T1 is connected with another pair of diodes D2
and capacitors C2, which are in series with N1 in order to increase the boost voltage.
The rectifier diode D3 is connected to output capacitor C3.
The second stage is the class E amplifier which receives the dc input from the high step-
up converter and converts to high frequency ac. The class E amplifier is a highly
efficient switch mode resonant converter. The high efficiency results from the reduced
power losses in the transistor. The higher efficiency of the switch can be achieved by:
1. Using the transistor as a switch to reduce the power
2. Reducing the switching losses which result from finite transition time between ON
and OFF states of the transistor.
The Class E amplifier consists of a RF choke L1 and a parallel-series resonator circuit
consisting of C4, C5 and L2.
The output of the class E power amplifier is connected to the tank circuit formed by C6
and the transmitting coil as shown in the fig 2.
The receiver consists of a tank circuit formed by capacitor C7 and the receiving coil and
a simple full bridge diode rectifier to convert the ac power transmitted from the
transmitter coil to dc and a filter C0 is used to reduce the harmonics and then given to
the load R0. The power gets transferred resonant frequency is achieved between
transmitter and receiver pair.
There are five modes of operation for high step-up dc-dc converter and class E amplifier
has only two modes which will be discussed separately.
I. Mode I (t0 – t1): Fig 3.3 shows the mode I operation of the step-up converter.
II. Mode II (t1 – t2): Fig 3.4 shows the mode II operation of the step-up converter.
During this mode, the input source voltage Vin gets series connected with N2,
C1 and C2 which charge the output capacitor C3. The currents iLm, iLk1 and
id3 increases as Vin crosses Lk1, Lm and N1. Lm and Lk1 stores energy from
Vin also C1 and C2 discharge their energy toC3. Hence id3 and the discharging
currents ic1 and ic2 also increase. The switch is turned off at t=t2 and this mode
ends.
III. Mode III (t2 – t3): Fig 3.5 shows the mode III operation of the step-up
converter. During this mode the secondary leakage inductor Lk2 keeps charging
the output capacitor C3 when the switch is turned off at t=t2. Diodes D1 and D3
will be conducting. The stored energy in Lk1 flows through D1 to charge the
capacitor C1. Also, the stored energy in the leakage inductor Lk2 is in series
with C2 to charge the output capacitor C3. Since the inductances of Lk1 and Lk2
are very small compared to Lm, iLk2 decreases rapidly but iLm increases as the
magnetizing inductor Lm receives energy from Lk1. This mode ends when iLk2
decreases and reaches zero at t = t3.
IV. Mode IV (t3 – t4): Fig 3.6 shows the mode IV operation of the step-up
converter. The magnetizing inductor Lm discharges its energy to C1 and C2.
Diodes D1 and D2 are conducting in this mode. The currents i0 and iD1 are
decreases continuously as the leakage energy charge the capacitor C1 through
Department of Electrical Engineering, SKIT M&G, Jaipur Page 27
the diode D1. The magnetizing inductor Lm discharges its energy to charge the
capacitor C2 through T1 and D2. The energy stored in C3 is continuously
discharged to the load R. These energy transfers decreases the currents iLk1 and
iLm but increases the current iLk2.This mode ends when iLk1 reaches zero at
t=t4.
V. Mode V (t4 – t5): Fig 3.7 shows the mode V operation of the step-up converter.
During this mode of operation, Lm continuously discharges its energy to C2 and
diode D2 will be conducting. The current iLm decreases as it charges the
capacitor C2 through T1 and D2. This mode ends when the switch S1 is turned
on at the beginning of the next switching period.
Fig 3.8 shows the two switching stages of the switch S1 which is ON for a half cycle
and off for another half cycle. The switch S1 is turned ON at zero drain voltage and zero
drain current to reduce the switching losses when the transistor is turned ON.
Optimum Operation Mode: When the switch is turned OFF, there will be a jump change
in the drain current but the drain voltage starts to increase slowly from zero thus
reducing the switching losses. This will be the optimum mode of operation of class E
amplifier as ZVS and ZCS has been achieved which provide the highest efficiency.
D = 1 – 12(1+2) /70
At the boundary for converter’s operation at 50% of the full load, the load resistance
R=200Ω is selected. Substituting the value of D in the equation 3.8, we have
Hence the magnetizing inductance Lm has to be greater than the boundary magnetizing
inductance LmB
i.e.
we have to choose a MOSFET whose breakdown voltage has to be greater than 311.5V.
Based on the power specification and QL, the load resistance can be calculated based on
the following equation as shown in 3.14.
Where the value of QL is chosen by the designer, for a duty cycle of 50%, the minimum
value of QL is 1.7879. The value of QL is chosen to be 2.134 and POut as 60 W, we
have
The next step is to calculate the value of the shunt capacitance C1 which is to be
connected across the switch by the following equation.
(3.16)
We have chosen the operating frequency of 13.56 MHz, substituting the value of and
RL in the equation 3.16, we have the value of shunt capacitance C1 as
Usually, the value of XL1 is chosen to be 30 or more than times the unadjusted value of
XC1

C1 = 79.4 pF
C2 = 689.9127Pf
L2 = 0.8µH
The transformer is a static device in which electric power is transformed from one
alternating current circuit to another with desired change in voltage and current, without
any change in frequency.
The principle of mutual induction states that when two coils are inductively coupled and if
the current in one coil changed uniformly then an e.m.f gets induced in the other coil. This
3. MOSFET :- MOSFET stands for Metal Oxide Silicon Field Effect Transistor or Metal
Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor. This is also called as IGFET meaning
Insulated Gate Field Effect Transistor. The FET is operated in both depletion and
enhancement modes of operation. The following figure shows how a practical MOSFET
looks like. The construction of a MOSFET is a bit similar to the FET. An oxide layer is
deposited on the substrate to which the gate terminal is connected. This oxide layer acts as
an insulator (sio2 insulates from the substrate), and hence the MOSFET has another name
as IGFET. In the construction of MOSFET, a lightly doped substrate, is diffused with a
heavily doped region. Depending upon the substrate used, they are called as P-type and N-
type MOSFETs.
4. Diode :- A diode is a semiconductor device that essentially acts as a one way switch
for current . It allows current to flow easily in a direction , but severly restricts current from
flowing in the opposite direction .
In this model first we step up the dc solar input with the help of dc-dc boost converter
and then that boosted voltage is send to a class E amplifier to increase the frequency of
the voltage waveform so that it can be transferred efficiently over the long distance . We
use high frequency for the transmission of power i.e. 10Khz.
After the transmission of the power with the help pf magnetically coupled coils the ac
voltage is rectified with the help of full bridge rectifier and then capacitor is used as
filter to rectify the output across the load that is purely resistive in this case.
As we can clearly see in the above figure that the boost converter voltage stabilize at
0.8 second which is acceptable in practical world and the boosted voltage is 290 volts.
In contrary with the boost converter output we have taken three other output across the
Department of Electrical Engineering, SKIT M&G, Jaipur Page 38
load that is output voltage , output current and output power. The waveforms of all the
three output are shown in below figures.
It is clearly seen in above waveforms that there is some time delay before the output
gets stable and that delay is same for both (voltage and current) that is 0.8 seconds .
After getting stabilize the output voltage attains the value of 290 volts which is same as
the boost converter voltage which shows the efficient transfer of the power over the
distance as there are no change in the stabilize value of transmitted voltage.
Department of Electrical Engineering, SKIT M&G, Jaipur Page 39
On the other hand the output current steady state value is 0.29 ampere which is much
better than our reference paper. In this some might worry about the low value of the
output current but it is self explanatory since we are increasing the value of the voltage
the current is bound to decrease . The value of the current can be further increase by
different kind of methods to our need.
Output power follows the same waveform and output voltage and current since it comes
with multiplication of both waveforms . The steady state value of transmitted output
power is 84 watts which is good for basic practical purposes . Next we will see
comparion and the improvement we have accomplished from our refrence paper.
4.2 COMPARISON
Let us first see the output waveforms of the base paper that we have considered . Instead
of three it took only two outputs that voltage and current.
On comparing the output voltage of both models you can clearly see that our model has
The wireless transmission of solar power will be mainly used in solar power satellite (SPS) .
Solar power satellites generate electrical energy in space and transmit it to earth station
receiver. The SPS satellites would be put in high earth orbit at geosynchronous location. This
would allow them to receive more light in space in comparison to solar panels on earth.
MATLAB - Overview
It has numerous built-in commands and math functions that help you in mathematical

It provides built-in graphics for visualizing data and tools for creating custom plots.
MATLAB's programming interface gives development tools for improving code quality
maintainability and maximizing performance.
Uses of MATLAB
MATLAB – Simulink
It allows you to incorporate MATLAB algorithms into models as well as export the
simulation results into MATLAB for further analysis.
system-level design
simulation
automatic code generation
testing and verification of embedded systems
There are several other add-on products provided by MathWorks and third-party
hardware and software products that are available for use with Simulink.
Simulink Coder allows the generation of C source code for real-time implementation of
systems automatically.
Simulink Design Verifier allows you to identify design errors and to generate test case
scenarios for model checking.
Using Simulink
Simulink opens with the Library Browser. The Library Browser is used for building
simulation models.
On the left side window pane, you will find several libraries categorized on the basis of
various systems, clicking on each one will display the design blocks on the right
window pane.
Building Models -
To create a new model, click the New button on the Library Browser's toolbar. This
opens a new untitled model window.
Model elements are added by selecting the appropriate elements from the Library
Browser and dragging them into the Model window.
Alternately, you can copy the model elements and paste them into the model window.
Examples
Drag and drop items from the Simulink library to make your project.
For the purpose of this example, two blocks will be used for the simulation -
A Source (a signal) and a Sink (a scope). A signal generator (the source) generates an
analog signal, which will then be graphically visualized by the scope(the sink).
Begin by dragging the required blocks from the library to the project window. Then,
connect the blocks together which can be done by dragging connectors from connection
points on one block to those of another.
Drag a signal line from the output of the Sine Wave block to the input of the Scope
block.
Run the simulation by pressing the 'Run' button, keeping all parameters default (you
can change them from the Simulation menu)
You should get the below graph from the scope.
