IFEC Introduction IFEC is an international student competition for innovation, conservation, and effective
use of electrical energy, which is open to college and university student teams from
recognized engineering programs in any location.
The competition is sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) Power Electronics Society (PELS), Power & Energy Society (PES), Industry
Application Society (IAS), Industrial Electronics Society (IES), Vehicular Technology
Society (VTS) and Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA).
Topics
(A) High-efficiency Wireless Charging System for Electric Vehicles and Other
Applications
Topic Chairs:
Prof. Kevin Bai
Kettering University, USA
Email: [email protected]
Prof. Wencong Su University of Michigan-Dearborn, USA
Email: [email protected]
(B) Battery Energy Storage with an Inverter that Mimics Synchronous Generators
Topic Chair:
Prof. Qing-Chang Zhong University of Sheffield, UK
Email: [email protected].
Participation
Participation is on a proposal basis. Those schools that are interested must submit a
proposal to the topic chair before the proposal deadline. Each Proposal will be judged
by a distinguished panel of volunteer experts from the IEEE and from industry. Schools
with successful proposals will be notified and qualified for the rest of the competition.
Deadline for each period will be posted on the IFEC website. The outstanding teams
will be invited to a competition event in summer of 2015.
In each of the two topic areas there will be a Grand Prize of $10,000 and three
additional awards granted at $1,000, $3000 and $5,000 each.
Important Notice:
Each of the two topic areas will be judged separately. Each team proposal must
address a single topic area.
Each university is limited to one topic area. Each school can support only one team.
Teams are limited at minimum 4 members. Interdisciplinary teams are encouraged.
Graduate students are not excluded, but should be limited to advisory role in the
team.
Important Deadlines
Proposal Due Extension to Sept. 30, 2014
Notification of Acceptance Nov. 1, 2014
Workshop at APEC’2015 Mar. 2015
Final Competition July, 2015

TOPIC INTRODUCTION
Topic A
High-efficiency Wireless Charging System for Electric Vehicles and Other Applications
Final Competition time: July 13-15, 2014
Location: University of Michigan-Dearborn, USA
Institute for Advanced Vehicle Systems, Henry W. Patton Center for Education & Practice, University of Michigan-Dearborn
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.

Output power: 500 W at 36 V~50 V.
Volume & Weight (power electronics): <1 liter & <1 kg;
Complete coil size: less than 500 mm*500 mm;
Distance between transceiver and receiver: ≥15cm
Input current THD: <5% @ 500 W;
Input power factor: >0.95 @ 500 W;
Efficiency: ≥92% @ 500 W & ≥ 90% @ 400 W.
Sliding effect: Po ≥400W with 10 cm sliding distance;
Cooling: natural convection;
Acoustic noise: <50 dBA @ 1.5m away from the unit;
Protection: OCP, OVP, SCP, OTP, no damage @SCP
Safety: no exposed live electrical elements
Topic B
Battery Energy Storage with an Inverter that Mimics Synchronous Generators
Final Competition time: July 20-22, 2014
Location: University of Sheffield, UK
St. George’s Church (Opening) Lab in Portobello Bldg. (Competition)
Goals
Design and build a battery energy storage system with an
inverter that will:
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.
Key Specifications
Input (battery) voltage: 48V DC (nominal)
Output voltage: single phase 230Vac& 50Hz (nominal)
Output power: 500 VA continuous
Volume & Weight: <1 liter & <1 kg
Efficiency: >95% @ 500VA
Frequency regulation: the change of 100% real power
corresponds to the change of 1% grid frequency.
Voltage regulation: ≤ ±5% with ±100% reactive power
Output current THD: <5% @ 500VA & grid connected
Cooling: Natural convection is encouraged.
Acoustic noise: <50 dBA @ 1.5m away from the unit.
Safety: no exposed live electrical elements
Galvanic isolation: not required but encouraged.
