A Fractional-Order Element (FOE)-Based Approach to Wireless Power Transmission for Frequency Reduction and Output Power Quality Improvement

A wireless power transmission (WPT) requires high switching frequency to achieve energy transmission; however, existing switching devices cannot satisfy the requirements of high-frequency switching, and the efficiency of current WPT is too low. Compared with the traditional power inductors and capacitors, fractional-order elements (FOEs) in WPT can realize necessary functions though requiring a lower switching frequency, which leads to a more favorable high-frequency switching performance with a higher efficiency. In this study, a generalized fractional-order WPT (FO-WPT) is established, followed by a comprehensive analysis on its WPT performance and power efficiency. Through extensive simulations of typical FO wireless power domino-resonators (FO-WPDRS), the functionality of the proposed FO-WPT for medium and long-range WPT is demonstrated. The numerical results show that the proposed FOE-based WPT solution has a higher power efficiency and lower switching frequency than conventional methods.
