Abstract: The present disclosure may provide a wireless power system which may be used to provide wireless power transmission (WPT) while using suitable WPT techniques such as pocket-forming. Wireless power system may be used in a wireless powered house for providing power and charge to a plurality of mobile and non-mobile devices. Wireless powered house may include a single base station which may be connected to several transmitters. Base station may manage operation of every transmitter in an independently manner or may operate them as a single transmitter. Connection between base station and transmitters may be achieved through a plurality of techniques including wired connections and wireless connections.
