Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular as a mean of future transportation. A wireless interface between EV and the utility grid, with a bi-directional wireless power technology (BD-WPT), has several advantages, such as safety, convenience and physical isolation. However, physical misalignment between the magnetic couplers of BD-WPT systems used in EVs are unavoidable and introduces variations in key parameters, thus, significantly increasing losses and affecting the power throughput. This paper proposes a new BD-WPT topology where the series inductors of the LCL networks are integrated in to the magnetic couplers to improve system performance under misalignment. Both DD and bi-polar type integrated magnetics are implemented and compared. A mathematical model is developed to investigate the behavior and the sensitivity to variation in parameters of the system. The results indicate that, in comparison to a benchmark LCL tuned BD-WPT system, proposed system results in up to 20% more in power throughput when pads are misaligned. Moreover, the proposed system with bi-polar pads has an efficiency of 95.5% while the system with DD pads has a slightly lower efficiency of 93.5%
