WIRES / Power provision and measurement
Power has to
reach the work.
WIRES connects power provision, management and distribution with the measurement of energy transfer. Its focus is the complete interface: what the source supplies, what crosses the connection and what the receiving equipment can use.

The power system
Follow the energy.
Understand the result.
A transmitter reading and useful power at a receiver answer different questions. WIRES puts the sending and receiving interfaces in the same measurement plan, with the operating conditions stated alongside the result.
Provision and distribution
Consider the source, conversion, protection and delivery path as one system.
Interfaces and storage
Connect the transfer conditions to receiver requirements and storage behavior.
Measurement
Define the quantity, conditions and method needed to evaluate power transfer, including beaming concepts.
A result with context
Make it meaningful
on both sides.
A power-transfer question begins with the sending and receiving interfaces. The conditions, quantity and method determine what a result can say about the system.
Discuss the measurementDevelopment direction
Make power transfer
observable.
WIRES's development direction pairs receiver instrumentation with repeatable campaigns. It connects the physical power path to the measurements needed to compare designs and understand the energy reaching the work.
This connects to CC-100's local control and Everlight's shared infrastructure.
Receiver instrumentation kits
Modular sensing and data-acquisition hardware linking receiver electrical output, temperature and load behavior with the conditions on the sending side.
Campaign and comparison tools
Reusable acquisition and analysis software, fixtures and test profiles for comparing configurations and repeating power-transfer measurements.
