Abstract

With the advancements in power electronics technology, wireless power transmission has found widespread application in various specialized areas of space exploration. This technology enables the transfer of electrical energy from a transmitter to a receiver through electromagnetic induction, eliminating the need for physical contact or electrical connections. In comparison to conventional wired power transmission methods, wireless power transmission offers significant advantages, including enhanced safety and reliability. This article elaborates on the structures, operating principles, advantages, disadvantages, and application scenarios of five wireless power transmission technologies: electromagnetic induction coupling, magnetic resonance coupling, electric field coupling, microwave radiation, and laser-based systems. Furthermore, it provides a comprehensive analysis of the technical challenges that must be addressed for each wireless power transmission technology.
