A comprehensive review of wireless power transfer systems: Focused study with fractional-order elements

Wireless power transfer (WPT) refers to promising technology that allows energy transfer between devices without wires or cables. Although wireless power transfer systems have come a long way, they still have a long way to go before they become truly viable. An approach that has been offered to address these issues is the implementation of fractional-order elements in WPT systems. Fractional-order wireless power transfer systems have emerged as a promising solution to address some challenges in classical approaches. This review aims to provide a valuable resource for researchers and engineers interested in designing and optimizing WPT systems using fractional methods by summarizing the current knowledge on fractional-based approaches in WPT. Furthermore, this article sheds light on the benefits, challenges, and prospects of integrating fractional elements into WPT strategies. This study thoroughly reviews wireless power systems with fractional-order elements, investigating their effects on system dynamics. It classifies and analyzes diverse topologies, offering valuable insights for design and optimization purposes. image
