Wireless Power Transmission in Wireless Sensor

Network- A solution to the power constraint

Tanbir Ibne Anowar and Dr. Mohammad Ghanbarisabagh

AbstractOne of the major facts in W ireless Sensor Network (W SN) is its power constraint. In many critical cases, like sensors in hot oil pipe-lines may require urgent data from a selected node while the node is not waking up due to unhealthy battery life. Inductive coupling phenomena between two coils can easily solve it by wirelessly charging the previously placed coil inside that sensor. W ireless Power Transfer can be the solution on this concern. There are many alterable and unalterable factors that can govern the efficiency of W ireless Power Transfer. High Radio Frequency in lower coil radius with simple magnetic radiation mechanism can successfully transmit the power within a short distance at low cost. After pre-tuning resonant frequency, the optimum power transfer is possible through a constant efficiency in a short distance between nodes. Multi hop nodes can easily share the power from the source as well. A sensor can be placed anywhere when necessary, in that case the primary supply must be questionable and can be solved through the renewable energy.

tional theory of Faraday’s Law of Magnetic induction along
with simple calculation of Neumann’s formula can lead the pro-

In this paper, we focused on the simple, low cost construction of a charging system providing a concept of using renewable energy in a mostly power constrained appli- cation (e.g. Sensors). Using Magnetic coupling in a resonant circuit is widely used for its beneficiary significance of wireless- ly power transfer capabilities. From the last decade a huge work has been done in progress of WPT, Different methods has brought into the operations of WPT understanding the coupling between subsequent transmissions of wireless power. Besides the small equipment charging, WPT electrical vehicles as well as electric trains and robots are also capable of charging wirelessly [2-9].

In [12-16], these papers focus on the improved efficiency analysis depending on the coupling coefficient relating with air gap. In [17], they propose a power distribution analysis by matching the impedance be- tween the multi-coils. The paper [18], focuses on WPT consider-

WPT, basic problem can be indicating as the separation of coils
where the electrical power is transferring along with the man-
ageable efficiency. According to the recent study, WiTricity was
proposed the theoretical implementation in 2007. The efficien-
cies are above approximately 50% within the distance of 2m
[19]. In [17], they have calculated the imaginary value of the reactive powers which is then balanced by other reactances pre- sent in the circuit. According to the calculation, for a single re- ceiver (Secondary coil) will experience a greater reactive power if the impedance mismatch factor is not wisely handled.
From recent works on WPT, We can introduce the method of wireless power transfer in three typical methods. (i) Coupled mode method (ii) Band-Pass Filter Method [20] and (iii) Equiva- lent circuit model. (Figure: 1) In [21], authors have calculated and proposed a band pass filter representation which is being analyzed considering the range between the pass bands, In [22], A method of introducing an intermediate coil between the transmitting and receiving coils is proposed where this concepts can be installed for a long transmission of WPT, also in [10], there method was a frequency tuning method for the optimum efficiency. (It can be proved theoretically by following to the solution of Helmholtz equation [23] relating angular frequency and magnetic field intensity). In the following papers[17, 24], authors have proposed a power division method by matching the impedance between coils. In this paper we have done the WPT with an experimental as well as simulation analysis using weakly coupled (k=0.011) inductive coil using the Neumann’s formula equation (1).
Major concern is given to the impedance mismatch factor as well as the coil alignment cases for getting maximum distances.

2 WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER CHALLENGES

2.1Introduction

Wireless power transmission has an enormous prospect on commercial and domestic uses. Power transmission on electric vehicle is studying widely and come to a successful through- put in this field. The basic problems on this type of transmis- sion are the separation distances between the coils, coupling phenomena, resonant frequency, quality factor, coils radii, coil alignments etc. Different types of method used to determine the efficiency and maximum separation distance.

2.2 Issue on WSN

Considering the applications, Wireless Sensor Network suffers the continuous power constraint. Different types of mode and distribution of clustering technique has brought with the con- cern of power management in a small sensor. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a robust technology based on Wireless Networking without any infrastructure. The back bone of WSN belongs to the Wireless Ad hoc Network, following IEEE
802.15.4 Low rate WPAN Standard [25]. Unlike wired or wire- less infrastructure based network, which can be categorized by different topology, WSN structure is very much depends on application based. Basic advantage of WSN is its feasibility of working in rough environment. The Sensor nodes (which is on average known as ‘mote’) are typically consists of a micropro- cessor, digital radio, sensing unit and power supply [26]. In case of power assumption issue in WSN, many algorithms have been studied depend on application of establishing WSN. For an example, the idea of on demand schemes [27], scheduled rendezvous schemes [28, 29], asynchronous
wakeup schemes [30] or the idea of selective communications

Also a new method of distribution power in receiving coils is
discussed in [24]. Although the methods are very similar and the exact analysis of impedance inverters but the main prob- lem is neglecting cross coupling between the multi receivers, which is not ignorable, while a sufficient numbers of receiver will be used along with multi repeaters. Another major prob- lem is, the model is depends on coupling co-efficient and eve- ry time the tuning required for changing distance between transmitter and receiver coils, so that for a practical implemen- tation, auto tuning capabilities are required. In this paper, (Fig:

cessfully for low power stability and cost. According to some of short discussion over Wireless Sensor Network it is clear that, an entire system is facing a short and limited capacity due to the power supply only. Fig: 3, is illustrating a new con- cept of distribution of power through WPT to the sensors where there is no other way of contact with the sensors after establishing. Using the multi receiver it is possible to transmit power through the intermediate nodes [34].

Thus the need of impedance matching could realize from the equation and also, LM can be chosen easily from this equation. From the mutual inductance, coupling coefficient could be studied easily, In this paper, the mutual inductance is found using Neumann’s formula and found 0.16μH and the coupling

We used a ‘Hartley oscillator’ circuit to produce RF frequency of 13.56 MHz (Amplification of the output of RF oscillator circuit must be done with an RF amplifier circuit) which is not necessary to produce an extra burden for the sen- sor nodes (Typical RF used on the Sensors is 13.56 MHz). Im- pedance matching network is a pre-calculated for setting ca- pacitance and resistance for the constructed coils (Primary and secondary).

In this paper, wireless power transfer into the WSN can be considered under some certain points of requirements. The feasibility of the transmission in worst case is considered for the entire experimental setup. But, some common facts must be maintained for optimum case. High quality factor ‘Q’ must take under the rough circumstances to get the narrow fre- quency width and high output for the critical frequency. In case of a small difference of resonant frequency (Δω), Efficien-

cy drops rustically though the ‘Q’ factor is being chosen high.

pass method’. Selecting load for the paramount power transfer is one of the key features of WPT. Choice of selecting re- sistance confined the power at load. Coil misalignment in lat- eral and angular misalignment could happen for arbitrary set up of WSN nodes for the multi hop. The coupling coefficient k12 is in between 0~1 but for the low power assumption nodes require a strong coupling between them. Higher frequency will lead a good system performance but sensitive calibration.

4 CONCLUSION

A new model of circuit construction is illustrated and proved the transmission of wireless power through a small distance with only two RF amplifiers and conventional oscillator cir- cuit. Our proposed method consists of simple algorithm and calculations with a cheap but efficient circuitry for commercial aspects. Simulation results demonstrate the similarity found by previously done practical works. A prototype was built to prove the new simplest method. But, tuning of resonant fre- quency through the variable capacitor was difficult and so- phisticated. In future, a varistor could be introduced to replace the variable capacitor. Four coils transmission technique could be introduced for the further study for WSN.
