The UNIST 2015 IEEE International Future Energy Challenge (IFEC) Team traveled to Dearborn, MI, USA, to test their wireless power transfer prototype for the Topic A (High-efficiency Wireless Charging System for Electric Vehicles and Other Applications) competition. Team members were Sangyeong Jeong, Mina Kim, Hyeun-Tae Cho, and Zhanibek Bizak. Faculty advisors were Prof. Katherine A. Kim, Prof. Jeehoon Jung, and Prof. Jingook Kim.
The four-student first-time UNIST Team competed in the IFEC competition and the gained valuable experience designing, building, and testing power electronics hardware. Through the competition, students learned to work as a team and gained experience in making challenging, real-world power electronics hardware that they will use as finish their education and go on to graduate school.
The UNIST Team can be seen testing their Wireless Power Transfer prototype at the competition below. Additional pictures of the IFEC UNIST and other teams at the competition can be found here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/72392935@N06/sets/72157656023270076
