description This paper proposes a shielding sensor (SS) coil to solve the misalignment issue and the leakage magnetic field issue of the wireless power transfer (WPT) system for electric vehicles (EVs). The misalignment issue and leakage magnetic field issue must be solved because they can cause problems with power transfer efficiency reduction and electronic device malfunction. To solve these problems, the proposed SS coils are located over the Tx coil. The newly created mutual inductance between the Tx coil and the SS coil is used to detect the misalignment of the receiver in the Tx coil. In addition, the current phase of the SS coil is adjusted through impedance control of the SS coil to reduce the leakage magnetic field. The proposed SS coils were applied to the standard SAE J2954 model for the wireless charging of an EV. The WPT3/Z2 model of SAE J2954 with output power of 10 kW was simulated to compare the shielding effect according to the power transfer efficiency, and it was confirmed that a shielding effect of 76% was shown under the condition of a 3% reduction in the power transfer efficiency. In addition, the occurrence and direction of the misalignment between the receiver and the Tx coil were confirmed by using the tendency of mutual inductance between each SS coil and the Tx coil. In addition, as in the simulation result, the shielding effect and tendency were confirmed in an experiment conducted with the output power downscaled to 500 W.
