Optimal Photovoltaic Array Configuration Under Gaussian Laser Beam Condition for Wireless Power Transmission

The high-intensity laser power beaming (HILPB) system is one of the most promising systems in the long-range wireless power transfer field. In the HILPB system, the conversion efficiency at the photovoltaic (PV) receiver will limit the performance of an implemented system. One of the major factors that contribute to the reduction of PV power is Gaussian laser beam. Different PV configurations can be used to reduce the losses caused by Gaussian...
