Abstract

As our world and economy become increasingly digital, the density of wireless devices per square kilometer has reached astonishing levels. Predictions suggest that a single square kilometer could soon host up to 10 million devices, creating substantial environmental and economic sustainability challenges. Fortunately, wireless power technologies (WPT) present a promising solution. By enabling wireless energy delivery to devices, WPT eliminates the reliance on batteries, which not only reduces the environmental footprint and conserves raw materials but also lowers costs by eliminating the need for frequent battery replacements. Embracing WPT could pave the way for a more sustainable and efficient future.
The upcoming WPT boot camp will introduce participants to wireless power transfer for electronic devices, helping to accelerate the digitalization of both society and the economy. The program will explore two distinct WPT technologies: near-field transfer, which is already utilized in wireless charging and the emerging near-field communication charging, and far-field wireless power transfer, which is gradually being adopted in the market. These technologies use different methods to transmit power. The boot camp will provide comprehensive insights into both, with academic experts covering the foundational concepts and design principles, while industry professionals will discuss various business applications and standards.
This WPT boot camp is tailored for engineers seeking to learn the basics of wireless power transfer or apply it to their work, marketing and sales professionals aiming to grasp WPT technologies, and university students interested in gaining foundational knowledge in the field. The course offers ample opportunities for participant engagement and interaction.
