A team of students from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) of Independent University, Bangladesh (IUB), has won the Silver Award in the prestigious Efficiency for Access Design Challenge 2023-24, UK, for their solar-powered gear pump, which is designed to increase the efficiency of pumping water for irrigation.
The announcement was made on June 15, 2023, during the grand finale of the competition held virtually from the UK by the organizers, Efficiency for Access Coalition and Engineers Without Borders, UK.
they proposed an optimized Bio-Digester for producing affordable commodities which is fully powered by an 85-Watt solar panel. They were supervised by Dr. Khosru Mohammad Salim, Professor at the Department of EEE and Director at IUB's Green Energy Research Centre.
The competition aims to foster innovation in the off-grid appliances sector and address barriers limiting market expansion. Additionally, it seeks to create beneficial partnerships between universities, researchers, and industry partners worldwide, thereby strengthening academic capacity within the off-grid sector.
