  • the wireless power transmission device 100 may determine an optimum power transmission path by using the information about the number of hops. For example, referring to FIG. 8, a wireless power relay device 200-6 can receive power from a wireless power relay device 200-5 and a wireless power relay device 200-4 at the same time because it is close to the wireless power relay device 200-5 and the wireless power relay device 200-4.
  • the wireless power transmission device 100 may compare the number of hops of the wireless power relay device 200-4 with the number of hops of the wireless power relay device 200-5.
  • the wireless power transmission device 100 may activate the relay coil of the wireless power relay device 200-5 having a relatively small number of hops and deactivate the relay coil of the wireless power relay device 200-4 having a relatively large number of hops based on a result of the comparison.
  • a power transmission path formed by the wireless power relay devices 200-1, 200-5, and 200-6 may be activated, and the relay coils of the remaining wireless power relay devices 200-2, 200-3, and 200-4 may be deactivated.
  • the wireless power transmission system having the above construction is advantageous in that it can effectively set up a power transmission path for the transmission of power to the wireless power reception device 300 and improve transfer efficiency.
