Osaka Institute of Technology Department of Electrical and Electronic System Engineering Student Team (Hideki Omori Laboratory) was held in the United States from July 2015th to 7th (local time), 13 * IEEE-sponsored International Student Contest IFEC (International Future Energy Challenge) So, I won the 15rd place.This is the first time that a Japanese university has advanced to the final and won a prize in the contest.
In addition to the same university, nine universities from seven countries around the world, including the United States, Germany, Brazil, China, Taiwan, and South Korea, advanced to the final and presented prototypes and papers on wireless charging devices used in electric vehicles.One of the features of the equipment of the university student team is that it is compact, lightweight and low cost even in the contest by adopting the original technology "single-ended inverter method" that reduces the number of power semiconductors normally required to one. Etc. were evaluated.
* IEEE is an authoritative academic society organization for electrical engineering and electronic engineering technology with its headquarters in the United States.
