  • Description: <jats:p>This paper proposes a novel double-mosquito combination (DMC) coil for inductive wireless power transfer (IPT) systems to improve their anti-misalignment capability. The DMC coil consists of a mosquito coil with single-turn spacing and a tightly wound close-wound coil. By superimposing the magnetic fields generated by both coils, a relatively uniform magnetic field distribution is achieved on the receiving coil plane. This approach addresses the challenges of significant output voltage fluctuations and reduced transmission efficiencies caused by coupling coil misalignments in conventional IPT systems. To further optimize the DMC coil, an interaction law between its parameters and the mutual inductance is established, setting the coil mutual inductance fluctuation rate as the optimization objective, and using the coil turn spacing, number of turns, and outer diameter as constraint conditions. The beetle antennae search algorithm (BAS) is employed to enhance the whale optimization algorithm (WOA), facilitating the adaptive optimization of the coil parameters. An experimental IPT system platform with a 50 mm transmission distance is developed to validate the robust anti-misalignment capability of the proposed coil. The results demonstrate that within a horizontal misalignment range of 50 mm, the system’s output voltage fluctuation rate stays below 7.4%, and the transmission efficiency remains above 83%.</jats:p>
