Abstract: Transcutaneous energy transmission (TET) plays an important role in providing power to implantable biomedical devices such as total artificial heart and heart assist devices through wireless power transmission. The system can provide a power varying from 5-15W. The paper deals with certain challenges like i) temperature rise due to power loss which may have direct effects on the skin. ii) positioning of external and internal coils which may also disturb the operation. It also deals with methods of optimal power transfer capabilities with considerably high transmission efficiency thereby decreasing the losses.
