Wireless Power and Energy Harvesting

Wireless Power

Transcorneal Electrical Stimulation (TcES)

  • Generating bi-phase stimulation current
  • Treating retinal degenerative (RD) diseases, promote the survival of photoreceptors and preserve retina
  • Powering and controlling through wireless link

Wireless Power System

  • Power and data link between the primary and secondary system
  • The primary and secondary sub-systems are shown in the right

Primary system

  • Transferring power to secondary through inductive link
  • Sending data to secondary through inductive link
  • Programmable power level and data signals

Secondary system

  • Receiving power and data from primary
  • Communication with primary through back-scattering
  • Generating bi-phase stimulation current to cure the deseases
  • Coil design ↓

Energy Harvesting

Hybrid Source and Load PMU System

  • Intaking energy from harvester
  • Redistributing energy to sensors and transceiver

Power Conversion Efficiency

  • Reconfiguring the switch to enhance the efficiency in heavy load mode
  • Decreasing the quiescent loss to enhance the efficiency in light load mode
