Reportlinker Adds Wireless Power: Current Status and Future Directions
NEW YORK, Oct. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
Wireless Power: Current Status and Future Directions
http://www.reportlinker.com/p0316459/Wireless-Power-Current-Status-and-Future-Directions .html
Wireless power is inevitable in the evolution of wireless technology. Sending electricity from a power source to an electrical load without needing a plug or cord is in a true sense a 21st century technology, enabled by the meeting of science and high-power digital electronics. Expectations are running high that wireless power can become a new industry with vigorous growth prospects in the coming decade.
As the wireless power technology increases in efficiency, and as power consumption of applications comes down owing to other design efficiencies and trends (such as smart grid), at some time the two will cross and create new and compelling applications, in the home, in the car, and in industry. There will be hundreds of watts of power per household up for grabs. And there will be megawatts of wireless power applications industrywide, including consumer charging pads and far-more ambitious laser power beaming applications and everything in between.
Wireless power is already a reality today - with limitations. Solutions commercially available now are solely about power distribution, under the assumption that the "power" is still coming from the wall outlet (or a generator).
With that as our starting point, this Fuji-Keizai USA report looks at the current state of wireless power as it transitions from technology that R&D lab experts study into a commercial industry. The report covers the market potential of various competitive technologies and their application to electronics-driven products, from handhelds to electric vehicles to large equipment built for industrial sectors to wireless sensors needing battery-free power. The report describes:
• Competitive R&D and commercialization activities at the major wireless power development companies, plus other companies developing different variants of wireless power transfer and commercial products – with 19 company profiles
• Regulatory issues and standards efforts for first-generation close proximity inductive systems and the outlook in these respects for wireless power transfer over longer distances with RF-based and laser power systems and higher frequency magnetic resonance induction techniques
• Opportunities and challenges to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of new and future-generation hardware products incorporating wireless power technology
• Current and future prospective growth markets – and killer applications – that are evolving for the new wireless power technologies and inventions
