The department of Electrical Engineering, IVE (Haking Wong) emerged the biggest winner in this year’s Chiang Chen Industrial Charity Foundation Student Project Competition, taking home the champion, the first runner-up and the second runner-up prizes home.
Chung Tak-ying, the champion of the competition, introduced a new method to control a novel switched reluctance motor in his project. Mr. Chung’s goal was to build a constant-current power converter that can provide a fast and accurate transient response while effectively reducing the production cost and enhancing its energy regenerating performance.
“Stand by Me”, a beeping device to locate missing belongings developed by IVE students Chan Tsz-wai and Chan Tsz-him, took home the first runner-up prize. User can use their smartphones to activate the device. Once the wireless communication between the device and smartphone is terminated, a sound will be emitted, allowing users to retrieve their belonging.
The second runner-up prize went to Lee Kwan-ching, who studied the performance of hybrid battery and related system of rubber tyred gantry crane. Through a series of tests, Mr. Lee was able to make recommendations on ways to enhance the efficiency and reliability of different hybrid battery systems.
