Description
Summary:The Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) approach allows for the transmission of electric power without the need for physical contact, which has several advantages over traditional cable systems, including safety and convenience. Due to the lack of cable communication between the transmitter and receiver, information exchange in a WPT system is often accomplished by wireless communication methods, such as the use of Radio Frequency (RF) modules. There will be a comparison of communication protocols. The hardware that best meets the project's requirements will be chosen. Furthermore, the information exchange network between several wireless chargers is critical to system control in a large-scale WPT system, such as wireless charging for buses and vessels. As a result, the goal of this project is to design a central controller with wireless communication capabilities to meet the demand for system control. I will be designing the communication protocol of my choice and then create a central controller to monitor and operate a laboratory WPT system that has been scaled down. To showcase the capabilities of the designed central controller, a simple user interface will be built.
