1. Wireless Power Transfer – Innovative Uses
- Smart Homes: Wireless power transfer can be used to power a range of smart home devices such as lighting, climate control, security systems, and more.
- Automotive: WPT can enable contactless charging of electric vehicles, providing a more efficient and convenient way of powering them up.
- Industrial: WPT can be used to power industrial machinery and equipment, reducing the need for wires and cables and increasing safety.
- Wearables: WPT could be used to power and charge wearables such as fitness trackers, smartwatches, and medical devices.
- Remote Areas: WPT can be used to provide energy in remote areas where it is difficult to connect to the grid.
2. Electric Power Distribution and Supply
Almost gone are the days of customer reliance on power from a single, localized power company. Today’s power generation industry trends dictate a better, more efficient way to generate power with smart grids and microgrids.
3. Electric Vehicles
Despite years of mass production, electric vehicles still remain a trend in electrical engineering that continues to rise in consumer popularity. Electric cars are becoming mainstream offerings. Though charging infrastructure still needs to be developed, many electric vehicle owners can find readily accessible charging stations in many locations. Consumers might even qualify for tax incentives or credits for purchasing an electric vehicle.
