Abstract
In order to achieve high-efficiency transmission in the electric vehicles’ wireless power transfer system, it is important to ensure that the transmitting and receiving coils are properly aligned. Only if the real-time offset position of the two coils is obtained can the driver align the two coils. This paper proposes a novel offset angle detection strategy for wireless charging coils based on electronic compasses, aiming at the angle offset between transmitting and receiving coils. An electronic compass is placed in the transmitting coil and the receiving coil, respectively. In this process, the exact angle positioning of the charging coil is realized with the aid of geomagnetic and the application of vector theory to determine the offset angle between the two coils. Finally, an experimental prototype has been constructed. The experimental results indicate that the positioning error of the coil angle is within 1 °. This method’s measurement process is simple, and the deviation angle between the coils can be directly and conveniently calculated by examining the electronic compass output, which helps guide to align the transmitting coil with the receiving coil.

In order to achieve highly efficient and stable power transfers, the wireless charging system based on magnetic coupling resonance requires the alignment of transmitting coil and receiving coil [12]
It can be used for the angle positioning, even if the lateral and longitudinal offset exists at the same time
Summary
The great advantages of wireless power transfer (WPT) have attracted the attention of the academic and industrial circles all over the world. R. Wang et al.: Accurate Offset Angle Detection Strategy for Wireless Charging Coils Based on Electronic Compasses or automatic parking technology is useless. A new method of wireless charging coil angle positioning for EVs based on electronic compasses is proposed. In addition to circular coils, other coils such as rectangular, DD, bipolar, DDQ, BP coil, etc., will have angle deviation For these coils, the method proposed in this paper is not affected by coil shape and distance, and is still effective for detecting coil offset angle. B. BASIC PRINCIPLES The coil angle positioning method proposed in this paper is based on the electronic compass.
