Wireless Power Transmission

Further readingBriefing Paper - Wireless Power Transmission (2074)
An option when there is no alternative

It is clear that wireless power transmission systems in the range of 100 W to 100 kW cannot compete with traditional systems just looking at the costs. At places where economic competition is not the prime consideration, it can be an option. Microwave wireless power transmission can supply power to places that are difficult to reach. Especially small communities in rural areas could be supplied with power using WPT.

More successful demonstration projects can help the further development and utilisation of this technology. Further investigation concerning compatibility and safety is needed to clarify these issues.

Space Solar Power has gained public interest during the last year because of global warming and the energy independency goals of US and EU.
