An Optimised Approach to Wireless Power Transfer for an Artificial Retina Implant

An artificial retina can replace some of the functionality of the eye in people that have experienced partial or complete loss of vision. Loss of vision is associated with many negative effects in one’s life and can be a debilitating condition. Artificial retinas in the form of a chip thus offer the potential to greatly improve people’s lives....

Highly Compact Partial Power Converter for a Highly Efficient PV-BESS Stacked Generation System

The inherently intermittent nature of photovoltaic (PV) energy has brought increasing interest towards the integration between PV sources and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). In this paper, a Series Partial Power Processing (PPP) converter based on Capacitive Power Transfer (CPT) is proposed to integrate PV and BESS in a grid-connected...
