国际未来能源挑战赛（International Future Energy Challenge, IFEC）是由美国能源部（DOE）、美国国防部（DOD）、美国国家州立能源官员协会（NASEO）和美国电气与电子工程师协会（IEEE）主办，IEEE电力电子学会（PELS）承办的一项全球性大学生创新能力竞赛，是国际上新能源发电领域最高级别的大学生创新竞赛，其目的是推动大学生在新能源电领域的创新。
Topic (A) High-efficiency Wireless Charging System for Electric Vehicles and Other Applications
Vision
Increase the wireless charging efficiency for electric vehicles;
Reduce the overall cost and space of the wireless charging system;
Achieve highly efficient and safe wireless charging across the large air gap between the charging pad and the vehicle adapter;
Incorporate practicality, potential manufacturability, and affordability into the competition assessment process;
Improve engineering education and foster practical learning through the development of innovative team-based engineering solutions to complex technical problems;
Increase the public awareness of advanced electric vehicle technology.
Goals
Construct a wireless charging system that will:
Allow wireless charging with superior efficiency for the electric vehicle battery over a certain gap and sliding distance;
Reduce the overall manufacturing cost;
Minimize the size and weight of pad and controller;
Minimize cooling requirements.
Topic (B) Battery Energy Storage with an Inverter that Mimics Synchronous Generators
Vision
To develop a grid-connected bi-directional battery energy storage system with an inverter that mimics the functions of synchronous generators
To reduce the overall cost and volume of energy storage systems
To offer students a challenging opportunity to integrate their knowledge and skills in power conversion circuit theory, control, battery energy management and power systems
Goals
Design and build a battery energy storage system with an inverter that will:
Have the basic functions of charging, discharging and protection for the battery;
Meet the desired power quality to the grid/load;
Improve power density;
Realize power conversion between the battery and the gird/load with high efficiency;
Mimic the function of synchronous generators to autonomously take part in the regulation of system frequency and voltage via controlling the real power and reactive power delivered;
Achieve seamless transfer between grid-connected and stand-alone modes;
Reduce manufacturing cost.
