ABSTRACT
The growing demand for efficient and reliable energy transfer systems has driven research into innovative
solutions for low-power applications. This thesis focuses on the comparison analysis of inverters for low
power application acoustic based energy transfer system. An acoustic energy transfer system is one of
promising technology for wireless energy transmission in constrained environments especially in metal
environments. The research evaluates the performance of different inverter topologies which are Class E ZVS
Inverter and Class D Half Bridge Resonant Inverter by considering key parameters such as efficiency, power
transmission, and adaptability to acoustic wave energy systems. Calculation and simulation results from both
inverters were compared and Class E ZVS inverter has been chosen for further with experimental because the
performance efficiency of Class E produces 98.6% compared to Class D which is 98.04%. The Class E
inverter managed to produce better efficiency, power transmission at 40kHz and 470-ohm resistor as an
inverter load. The experimental hardware of Class E inverter produces 64.2% as efficiency, as it undergoes
tuning process where the tuning processes is critical to optimize the functionality of resonant circuits, ensuring
they achieve the best and highest efficiency ii at transmitter. So, the power transmitted to the receiver have
some drops due to their internal resistance, and components factor. The receiver will receive 7.36 V at 1cm
distance while the target for this project is transmitting to 3cm distance with 6.43V. This shows that the goal of
the project to transmit power to the receiving unit has been successfully implemented and it contributes to the
progress in wireless power transmission technology.
INTRODUCTION
Contactless energy transfer, also known as wireless power transfer (WPT), transfers electricity from a power
source to a load without the need for physical connections or connectors. The potential applications of this
innovative energy transfer methods are gaining popularity in areas such as consumer electronics, electric
automobiles, medical gadgets, and industrial automation. WPT is an innovative way to power electric devices,
decreasing the need for batteries [1][2]. Researchers have extensively explored and developed contactless
energy transfer devices. Acoustics is a contemporary wireless energy transmission technology that uses
vibration or ultrasonic waves. A relatively recent technique for transmitting energy wirelessly that takes use of
vibration, or ultrasonic [3][4] waves is called Acoustic Energy Transfer, or AET. AET is a generally new
technology that transmits energy wirelessly using sound waves rather than touch. These technologies include
those used today for optical coupling energy transfer (OPT),capacitive power transfer (CPT), and inductive
power transfer (IPT) [2][5]. Any frequency higher than around 20 kHz, which is beyond human hearing, is
referred to as ultrasonic. The AET system works based on wave propagation of ultrasound, which its operating

frequency is from 20 kHz to 100 kHz using a couple of ultrasonic transducers [5][6]. Ultrasonic transducers
also basically act as an energy transferring device as it will be used in transmitter and receiver for the AET
system. The primary transducer transforms electrical energy into a pressure or acoustic wave. It generates
waves in the form of mechanical energy and propagates through a medium. AET has promising applications in
various fields, including medical implants, underwater communication, and sensor networks.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Wireless Power Transfer Transmission (WPT)
There are many advantages that wireless power transmission may offer make it appeal [2][5]. WPT is a
technology that has seen significant advancements and is used in various applications ranging from consumer
electronics to industrial equipment and even electric vehicles. With ongoing research and development, WPT
technology will likely evolve and become more efficient, reliable, and versatile. There are a few types of WPT
such as inductive coupling, capacitive coupling, microwave, and acoustic energy transfer [7]. Fig. 1 below
shows the block diagram of wireless power transfer transmission system.
Fig. 1 The wireless power transfer transmission
IPT and CPT are the most common coupled WPT systems can offer up to MW. A magnetic field is used in
electromagnetic induction to transfer energy between a transmitter and a receiver coil. Energy is transferred by
an electromotive force (EMF) that is induced in the reception coil by an alternating current in the transmitter
coil. Microwave power transmission transfers energy via the atmosphere using microwaves. Microwaves are
created by a transmitter and then beamed to a receiver, which transforms them back into electrical energy. As
for the application, long-distance power transfer, including that from space-based solar power systems, is the
subject of investigation. Sound waves created by a transmitter are captured by a receiver and converted back
into electrical energy. This acoustic energy transfer is specially used for medical services.
Acoustic Energy Transfer (AET)
Acoustic energy transfer (AET) is an original method of wireless energy transmission that makes use of
vibration or ultrasonic vibrations. AET is still in its early phases and hasn't made much progress in compared to
its competition. It can transmit energy via a metal medium while propagating through vibration, whereas
inductive power transfer (IPT) cannot [6][8]. Significant losses occur in the metal due to eddy currents and the
shielding effect of the metal walls, which stop electromagnetic fields from coupling. An AET system, on the
other hand, would not have these problems since there are no electromagnetic fields present. The presence of
electromagnetic fields in biological applications causes adverse side effects which are governed by medical
regulations. Due to the lack of electromagnetic fields, AET is more practicable for use in biomedical
applications and is used in a miniaturized scale [8][9]. Fig. 2 is the acoustic energy transfer system block
diagram.
specific frequency to transmit energy through ultrasonic transducer. The type of power converter design should
consider the system requirement. In AET system, the design of the power converter should involve the
capability of the power converter to drive the primary transducer in a sinusoidal wave until it can transfer
sufficient power to the secondary load. The need of matching resonance frequency between the transducer and
power supply gives an intention in this thesis to design a suitable power converter for the system. The power
converter should convert from DC to AC so that the output of the primary to generate signals. Other than that,
the power converter also needs to be designed with minimal losses so that the efficiency of the system can be

optimized. The recent development in AET uses different types of power converter such as in [15] applied DC
power and microcontroller to generate pulse frequency. Meanwhile, the resonance frequency is generated from
a signal generator and amplified into the transmitter device.
There are two available circuit methods to design a converter circuit for WPT system, which are the linear
amplifier and the switch mode power converter. The example of linear amplifier circuits is of Class A, Class
B, Class AB and Class C; while the switch mode power inverter is of Class D, Class E. Nevertheless, in terms
of providing lower switching losses, the switch mode power converter is the best choice [16]. Therefore, there
are several types of power converter that are possible to be used in developing the CET system: push-pull,
Class D, Class E and Class F power converter. The following sub- section has briefly introduced them.

METHODOLOGY
Flowchart
At the primary side, power converters are used to supply the main transducer with the necessary quantity of
power [3][6]. Primary transducer will transform to acoustic wave and travels through the medium [3][6]. This is
because the ultrasonic air transducer converts an electrical signal to sound wave. The receiving transducer
convert it back to usable electrical power. Most importantly, it employs sound or vibration as a channel for
energy propagation. Ongoing advancements in transducer technology and system design may expand the use
of AET in the future.
Power Converter
Power converter gives an important role to the AET system since it drives sufficient voltage and current with

The steps start with background research and study, design and simulation of the circuit for Class D inverter
and Class E inverter. Simulation for both parts would be challenging as the circuit construction, component
value and graph has to be analyzed and compared to each other. Which classes produces better power
efficiency and better performance. Both classes will be troubleshooting once there are error or problems. Once
settled, comparing both simulations, will be proceed with the one which better in terms of performance, and
power efficiency. The experiment for hardware will be proceed with the better classes. After completion of the
experiment, we can analyze the performance of the developed inverter. Lastly, the documentation has to be
done, as all the project workflow is done and completed by following the flowchart progress.
Simulation Class D inverter
Fig. 4 below is a Simulink model of a Class D inverter circuit, created in MATLAB that based on the
calculated values as in Table 1. Input voltage provides the DC input voltage to the Class D inverter circuit.
Two MOSFETs are used in the circuit as electronic switches. They alternate between ON and OFF states to
create a high-frequency pulse-width modulated (PWM) waveform. PWM generator generates a pulse-width
modulated signal to drive the gates of the MOSFETs. The inductor helps to reduce current ripples and stabilize
the current flow in the circuit while the capacitor smooths the output voltage by filtering high- frequency noise
and providing a stable DC component. Resistor is the component where the filtered output power is delivered.

The Simulink program in MATLAB simulation software could provide the designed process where the circuit
was constructed and determined the exact value of component that needed to build the ideal circuit. Next, the

Fig. 7 Analysis of Output Power Between Class E and Class D inverter
Fig. 8 Analysis of Efficiency Between Class E and Class D inverter
As to proceed with the hardware and which one to be selected, Class E resonant inverter will be chosen
compared to Class D resonant inverter as the three main reasons stated below:
Higher Efficiency
Class E inverters achieve high efficiency by operating with zero voltage switching ZVS, which minimizes
switching losses. In contrast, Class D inverters may experience higher switching losses due to hard switching,
especially at high frequencies [13].
Simpler Circuitry
Class E inverters require fewer components, as their design eliminates the need for additional snubber or
resonant circuits often required in Class D inverters designs to manage switching stresses [14].
Better Suitability for High-Frequency Operation
Class E resonant inverters are optimized for high- frequency operation due to their reduced switching losses
and effective management of parasitic effects, which can degrade Class D inverter performance [15].
These are the reasons why the hardware has been chosen with the Class E resonant inverter compared to Class
D resonant inverter.

Based on Fig. 11 and Fig. 12 the efficiency increases but absolute power
levels tend to drop as the L
series
value in this state is increased. This suggests that there
is an ideal level at which trade-offs are possible,
however they change depending on the system's needs. A lower inductance value could be recommended in
cases where the greatest output power is the most crucial consideration. Higher inductance values may be
chosen in applications where efficiency is more crucial.

vs Efficiency
By referring to Fig. 13 and Fig. 14 the system appears to have a capacitance value of 1.683 nF. Any
variation from this number results in a reduction in efficiency. The system's capacity is not eliminated by the
efficiency drop brought on by the capacitance decreasing during rapid power fluctuations, but it is less
effective. Therefore, it may be said that the working capacitance point should 1.683 nF as feasible to achieve
the greatest efficiency.
Referring to Fig.15 and Fig. 16 in this system, increasing the C
shunt
value leads to increased efficiency but
lower absolute power levels (both input and output). Consequently, efficiency and power production are traded
off. A smaller C
shunt
value would be desirable if increasing output power is the main objective. A larger C
shunt
value needs to be used if efficiency optimization is the top concern but the main certain is the efficiency,
higher input and output power which is nearer to 2W and the V

graph is not interrupting or crossover the V

Based on Table 3 above, the comparison shows significant variations between the experimental and theoretical
(calculation and simulation) outcomes. The experimental implementation has significantly lower power output
and efficiency due to significant losses. Besides, due to internal losses of the components itself, type of

significance of experimental validation in engineering design.
Transmitter and receiver part
Transmitter will transmit power via piezoelectric transducer and the receiver will receive the via piezoelectric
transducer. The evaluation of the distance versus voltage is in Fig. 17 below.
Fig. 17 Voltage at receiving part
Based on Fig. 17, the voltage received by piezoelectric transducer at the receiver shows the voltage decreases
from 7.36 V which is 10 mm distance to 6.43 V at 30 mm distance. This shows that when the distance further
away from transmitting transducer and receiving transducer, the voltage decreases. It also means that the power

As for further overview for the experimental view of the distance between transmitter and receiver part can

Based on Table 4, once the output power received by the receiver transducer, the LED light will blink, and it

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the study investigates Class E resonant inverter and D inverter, focusing on their advantages
and disadvantages. Both classes have been developed, with Class E resonant inverter achieving a 100%
efficiency value and a simulation efficiency of 98.6%. Class D inverter, on the other hand, has an efficiency
value of 95.23% and a simulation efficiency of 98.04%. A simulation comparison was conducted using a 470
Ω resistor, revealing that Class E resonant inverter have the best efficiency and output power. The second
objective identified Class E resonant inverter and further development hardware for Class E resonant inverter.
The tuning process, divided into L

, was used to determine the best output power and
efficiency. The L
series
achieved the best value of 11 mH, with an input power of 2.013 W and an output power
of 1.045 W, and an efficiency of 51.9%. The C

transmitter and receiver part. The LED light illuminated to indicate power transmission. The study also
demonstrated that the AET system can transmit power wirelessly, although the current technology is limited to
low power applications. This progress will contribute to the development of AET systems as a technology for
transmitting power wirelessly.
