Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) can be described as the processing of transmitting electricity without the use of wires. It has been increasingly used in places where battery depletion and replacement are major issues. WPT Technology are being used in different sectors. They include wireless charging, Electric vehicles, consumer electronics, etc. The paper describes the various types of WPT technologies; Inductive Coupling, Magnetic Resonance and Radio Frequency (RF) technology. It also discusses the advantages and shortfalls of each type. An extensive survey of past works was discussed. Results from the research findings showed that distance and conversion efficiency were limiting factors in implementing wireless transfer technology.
Keywords: WPT Inductive Coupling Magnetic Resonance Radio Frequency
