Efforts of transferring power wirelessly can be dated back tothe early 1900s (long before wired electric power grids) whenNikola Tesla experimented with large-scale wireless power distribution[28]. Due to its large electric fields, which is undesirablefor efficient power transfer, Tesla’s invention was never putinto practical use.Since then, there was hardly any progress in wireless energytransfer for many decades. In the early 1990s, the needof wireless power transfer reemerged when portable electronicdevices became widely spread
