Airborne Wind Energy is interesting
energy generation concept to be look at. Beneficing high altitude wind, huge
amount of wind energy can be tap and convert to electric by motion. Students
shall use their knowledge and creativity to introduce new ideas such that it
can be used in Malaysia in the future.
From the figure above, it show one type
of airborne wind generation system that is “balloon-like”. This kind of system
is proposed/introduced by Magenn Company that does research on wind energy.
High altitude wing can generate electricity as much as a medium sized nuclear
power plant. In addition, the cost is much lower with respect to amount of
power it can produce.
The participants will introduce their idea
to develop this kind of energy generation system at Malaysia. The most
realistic and creative idea will rewarded as winner for competition. The idea
could be present in mini model, poster, video, picture or everything related to
competition.
There is some rules and regulations of this competition:
- The competition is open to 2nd year undergraduates Mechanical Engineering Department of The National University of Malaysia.
- The contents should meet the requirements of competition, on airborne wind energy.
- The amounts of posters that can be published are 4 minimum and 6 maximum.
- Each poster taken must be original, authentic, unpublished, and done fully by the students. Any person involved in plagiarism will automatically be disqualified.
- Create slogan that is effective, meaningful and simple.
- Make sure the fonts used are easy to be read.
- Include any relevant descriptions, processes, designs and information regarding the project.
- Once you are announced as the contestant, you are required to print out the photos before the event day in A1 size.
- Mini model and any visual presentations (video, slides shows and pictures) are allowed as long as being done by the students.
All entries must meet competition guidelines and only the selected entries will be informed 4 days* after the Integrated Project presentation.
