description In the early 19th century Nikola Tesla, the inventor well known for his contribution for the development of the present day alternating current system gave rise to the idea of wireless electricity, however it was short lived and sparks insignificant interest to the then society. In 2007, physicist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has demonstrated an efficient scheme of wireless energy transfer via magnetic induction at resonance frequency. The literature has reported several methods to optimize the power delivery and efficiency; as well as theories to explain the behavior of the wireless energy transfer system. However, most of them are based on the Coupled Mode Theory (which was put forward by the MIT physicist),and the Impedance Analysis Model. There are some limitations imposed by these theories,the Coupled Mode Theory despite being widely accepted in the literature are unfamiliar to electrical engineers, in that it introduces variables that does not directly correlate to variables accustomed to electrical engineers, as a result an ample time had to be spent to understand the theory. While the Impedance Analysis is more familiar and simpler, it only solves the system in the frequency domain and does not explain the system relationship to time; thus it only considers the steady state condition and does not provide the transient behavior. This thesis fills the gap by providing a set of numerical equations to solve the currents of a two-coil Wireless Energy Transfer via Resonance of Magnetic Induction in the time domain from an initial condition to a steady state condition by using variables familiar to electrical engineers;with the objective of obtaining the conditions for that maximizes the efficiency and power delivery.
