The Distinguished Lecture on “Capacitive Power Transfer: Basic Issues and Applications” will take place as follows:
Date: 26 September 2025 (Friday)
Time: 16:00 – 17:00
Venue: Research Building N21, G/F, G013
The speaker is:
Dr. LIU Ying, Associate Researcher of electrical engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, China
The Lecture is:
Capacitive Power Transfer: Basic Issues and Applications
Abstract:
Capacitive power transfer (CPT) technology is a non-contact power transfer over a certain distance by means of displacement current, which has higher efficiency and power density for short to medium transfer distances (millimeter scale) compared to inductive power transfer (IPT) technology. Despite its great potential advantages, CPT technology is far behind IPT technology and has not yet been applied in the market. In this talk, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities in the research area of CPT technology. Specifically, this talk will cover the following key topics: 1) The development of CPT technology; 2) Difference between CPT and IPT and challenges CPT faces; 3) Design and implementation methods of CPT converters for specific applications.
