Simulation and implementation of a Wireless Power Module for dielectric elastomer actuator

2025

Abstract

Simulation and implementation of a wireless power module for dielectric elastomer actuator. Many applications for implantable devices requires a battery to operate. Such batteries present various limitation for long term transcutaneous devices. More and more application for implantable devices uses wireless power technologies, what present a reliable solution in health application as ventricular assistance devices, neuroimplants, eye power lens, and etc. ln this project the goal is to develop a wireless lmplantable module that allows to transfer energy from a transmitter on the outside to the receiver inside the skin; to provide energy to a DEA.

Ventricular assist device

A ventricular assist device (VAD) is an electromechanical device for assisting cardiac circulation, which is used either to partially or to completely replace the function of a failing heart. The function of a VAD differs from that of an artificial cardiac pacemaker in that a VAD pumps blood, whereas a pacemaker delivers electrical impulses to the heart muscle. Some VADs are for short-term use, typically for patients recovering from myocardial infarction (heart attack) and for patients recovering from cardiac surgery; some are for long-term use (months to years to perpetuity), typically for patients with advanced heart failure.

Wireless power transfer

Wireless power transfer (WPT), wireless power transmission, wireless energy transmission (WET), or electromagnetic power transfer is the transmission of electrical energy without wires as a physical link. In a wireless power transmission system, an electrically powered transmitter device generates a time-varying electromagnetic field that transmits power across space to a receiver device; the receiver device extracts power from the field and supplies it to an electrical load.

Wireless

Wireless communication (or just wireless, when the context allows) is the transfer of information (telecommunication) between two or more points without the use of an electrical conductor, optical fiber or other continuous guided medium for the transfer. The most common wireless technologies use radio waves. With radio waves, intended distances can be short, such as a few meters for Bluetooth or as far as millions of kilometers for deep-space radio communications.
