Users are increasing their demands on the home appliances they utilize by requiring them to be powered anywhere and anytime. In order to satisfy this need, wireless power transfer helps transfer energy between objects without conductors. For domestic scenarios, strongly magnetic resonant technology offers a method to enable wireless power transfer, even when there exist intermediate non-metallic objects between the wireless power source and the load. This paper reviews this technology with a comprehensive explanation about its fundamentals and physical principles. Some practical issues are also analyzed in this work. Particularly, how the control can be designed and how the coils are built. Finally, this paper also addresses the study about the features of other technologies to power home appliances without conductors. They can be foreseen as the technological competitors of strongly coupled magnetic resonant systems.

Wireless power transfer (WPT) based on inductive coupling could be potentially applied in many practical applications. It has attracted a lot of research interests in the last few years. In this paper, the modelling, design, and implementation of a 2-coil WPT system are represented. The prototype system can be implemented using conventional power electronic devices such as MOSFETs with very low costs as it works in relative low frequency range (less than 1 MHz). In order to find out about the optimal working area for the WPT system, the circuit model based on the practical parameters from the prototype is built. The relationships between the exciting frequency, coupling, and output power are analyzed based on the circuit and magnetic principles. Apart from the theoretic study, the detailed implementation of the WPT prototype including the coil design, digital frequency generation, and high frequency power electronics is also introduced in this paper. Experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the circuit analysis. By carefully tuning the circuit parameters, the prototype is able to deliver 20 W power through 2.2 meter distance with 20–30% efficiency.
