Abstract

Since long time ago, electrical appliances in the aquarium use wired technologies to power up the devices and this causes unpleasant view at power outlets and risk for short circuit to be present in the water. To avoid those problems, Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) technology using capacitive approach is applied on the aquarium for this project as the main objective. The scopes of this project are that the project is using Class E inverter due to better efficiency compare to other class especially in wireless power transfer, 1MHz as operating frequency to transfer 1W of power and the load used is LED strip with 12V input. Once the system is developed, the system performance is analysed and achieved 72.6% efficiency in term of distance and 23.6% efficiency for plate misalignment with fixed distance that is 2mm, acrylic thickness. In the end, the WPT system is successful to be applied in the aquarium using capacitive approach as well as there are potentials for improvement so that the product can be marketed to meet the consumers’ demand.
