Abstract

A detailed study of the UWPT system is presented in this chapter. Since the properties of the coils also contribute to the overall efficiency of the system, we studied the self-inductance, capacitance, and radiation resistance of the coil underwater. The findings show the practicality of transferring power wirelessly in ocean environment which could help reduce the need for oversized batteries in distributed ocean systems and make a profound impact on the advancement of underwater devices.
