Study on Transcutaneous Energy Transmission Device Optimal Design

Wireless Energy Transmission Devices have been used in industry applications for a long time. Nowadays, this technology is being adapted to other types of applications and areas, such as electric powered cars and even for biological purposes, such as transcutaneous energy transmission (TET) devices. This work presents an approach that purposes to introduce some tools, such as finite elements modeling and optimization methods, in order to design a system that is able to transmit the prescribed energy for TET. Furthermore, the objective is to observe if the optimal device's temperature during its operation exceeds the limits that an individual can withstand.
