Wireless power transmission device

A wireless power transmission device comprising:

• a power transmission coil configured to transmit power in a wireless manner to a power reception coil of a power reception device;
• a plurality of foreign object detection coils disposed along an upper surface of the power transmission coil;
• and
• a controller connected to the plurality of foreign object detection coils and configured to detect whether or not a foreign object is present above the power transmission coil by using outputs of a group of the plurality of foreign object detection coils,
• the controller being configured to perform a first foreign object detection to determine that the foreign object is present above the power transmission coil when there is a difference between outputs of the group of the plurality of foreign object detection coils each having the same wiring length to the controller among the plurality of foreign object detection coils, wherein the first foreign object detection includes:
• comparing an average value of outputs of the group of the plurality of foreign object detection coils each having the same wiring length with an output of each foreign object detection coil, and
• determining that the foreign object is present above a foreign object detection coil when the difference between the average value and the output of the foreign object detection coil is greater than a predefined value.
