H-Bridges hasn't added a story.
H-Bridges is a team of students from the School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Belgrade, Serbia taking part in the IFEC competition, organized by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). Every year, universities all around the world try to satisfy the jury's requests for a multidisciplinary project regarding energy efficiency and innovative designs.
Why is this competition so special?
The competition urges young engineers to focus on one of the essential parts of the inevitable green energy transition: the improvement of energy efficiency.
The goal of the current project (IFEC2022) is to develop a device called an inverter that will be used to connect a mini solar power plant to the electrical grid. This 1kW inverter must be: compact, highly efficient, safe and user-friendly for an average homeowner and, of course, affordable.
This way, our team would contribute to the commercial spread of renewable energy sources, particularly solar power, since the finished device will represent a prototype of a product that can incorporate a home photovoltaic system into the electric grid. And we all know that renewables are an essential part of a sustainable future.
On top of solving the global energy crisis, this project shapes young engineering students into exceptional experts in the field of power electronics.
What do we need your help for?
Since being part of this team is voluntary and the project is regarded as extracurricular, we finance all of our activities by ourselves. Our expenses include:
- buying electric components for our prototypes, such as electric resistors, capacitors, coils, printed circuit boards etc.
- supplying our laboratory with the necessary assembly equipment: soldering iron station, coil winding machine, CNC machine
- as well as measuring equipment: multimeters, oscilloscopes, various probes, thermographic cameras, voltage generators
- covering travel and accommodation costs for our team members to the semi-final and final round of the competition (held in the USA, which means overseas flights, among other things).
These represent serious investments for undergraduate students ranging from a couple hundred to several thousands of euros, which is why we need your support: by donating a certain amount to our project, you are providing us with better quality components, more precise measurements and bringing us one step closer to the finals!
In return, we will update you on the progress of our project. We would like you to see your donation's impact, so we will be posting about the advancements of our prototypes and the results of the competition.
Feel free to contact us if you're interested to know more, and please share awareness of this fundraiser through social media and email!
We know that every contribution counts and we appreciate your support!
