"This book covers wide areas of multiple-objective wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies, such as theoretical analysis, optimal design, intelligent control and emerging applications. Specifically, the book introduces fundamental theory including the multiple-objective transmission analysis configuration, dynamic mutual impact/cross-coupling effects, power distribution and the implementation principles with emphasis on the multiple-objective inductive power transfer. The authors discuss several applications for wireless charging techniques, including high-power and near-field charging, mid-power and mid-range charging, and complex-condition charging. In these presented applications, the WPT shows significant, profound and irreplaceable roles. Thus, this book explores and provides current methodologies, approaches, and foresights of emerging technologies of multiple-objective WPT"-- Provided by publisher.
