Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) systems have successfully been developed and used to replace traditional conductive power transfer systems where physical connection is either inconvenient or impossible, such as biomedical implants, undersea vehicles, and contactless battery chargers of robots, for providing power to movable or detachable loads. Inductive Coupling uses magnetic fields to transfer power. There is a primary coil, which generates a magnetic field. Then there is another secondary coil which is composed of a capacitor and a coil, the capacitor creates a circuit with the primary and secondary coils. This paper discusses design method and several implementation alternatives for wireless energy transmission systems. It presents realization examples for these alternatives. Wireless energy transmission is investigated in numerous convergence applications due to its simplicity and advantages.
