Wireless power transmission device and method of controlling the same

Abstract

A wireless power transmission device including a resonant circuit magnetically coupled to a wireless power reception device and being configured to wirelessly transmit power, an alternating current (AC) generator including switches and being configured to receive a direct current (DC) voltage and to generate an AC current, according to a switching operation of the switches, to be supplied to the resonant circuit, and a variable capacitor connected to an output terminal of the AC generator and having a first capacitance, when a load state of the wireless power reception device is provided as a full load state and a second capacitance lower than the first capacitance, when the load state is provided as a light load state.
