Capacitive Wireless Power Transfer: a Matter of Materials KU Leuven
The mayor challenge in capacitive wireless power transfer is to master the low coupling capacitance that severely inhibits power density. The key to increase power density is the coupling between the transmitter and receiver of the system. In current literature, the coupling is described by an ideal pi model, where losses in the medium and its frequency dependent permittivity are not considered. While this model may be sound when air serves ...
HiFi-ELEMENTS : High Fidelity Electric Modelling and Testing Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Though a number of standards in this field have been established (FMI, ASAM XiL API), models are still mostly created in a fragmented manner: using ...
Transport infrastructure and regional development in China during the Maoist era KU Leuven
1. Introduction
This project aims to investigate the link between transport infrastructure and regional economic development in China during the Mao era. Economists argue that public investments have a positive impact on economic growth for a number of reasons. As we will elaborate in what follows, the Chinese story contains many unique and intriguing elements which complicate this statement. A thorough investigation of the topic will ...
