Gwangju University Students Win Excellence Award at 'Capstone Design Competition'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju University (President Kim Hyukjong) announced on the 13th that the team "Ah! Tteugeo," consisting of five members including Kim Eunju, a senior in the Department of Computer Engineering, won the Excellence Award at the "2021 ICCT International Conference and the 4th Capstone Design Competition" hosted by the Korea Convergence Society.

The "Ah! Tteugeo" team participated with the theme "Ventilated Heat Exchange System Using IoT Sensors" to prevent major accidents in ESS facilities.

This competition was conducted through an online evaluation process, including a first-stage document review and a second-stage submission of videos and PPT presentations.

The ventilated heat exchange system uses internal sensors (flame detection, vibration, WiFi module, fine dust, etc.) inside the ESS (Energy Storage System) battery room to maintain a temperature of 20 to 23 degrees Celsius, and notifies users via an application if the ESS battery temperature rises above 60 degrees Celsius.

By building a solution that can alert users to fire, impact, and earthquakes through IoT sensor values, the team was evaluated to have established a foundation for preventing major accidents in ESS facilities in advance.

Professor Kim Heechul, the supervising professor, said, "We achieved excellent results through a theme that stands out with creative ideas," and added, "We will continue to prepare systematic educational programs to support students' participation and awards in competitions."
