The IEEE Global Student Wireless Power Competition encourages young generations to join research and development of WPT (Wireless Power Transfer) technologies, and demonstrates WPT capabilities for promoting public acceptance and practical applications of WPT systems.

Participants

Teams can include undergraduate and/or postgraduate students that are still registered by December 2024. High school students may also join in special cases. Staff members can only serve as advisors.

First stage

Initial design project proposal: a project proposal within 10 pages (in a single column standard technical report format, excluding appendices) should at least contain an introduction, objectives of the project, design concept, budget, conclusion and a list of the references cited. Project proposals exceeding the number of pages will loose 10% of the points per extra page.

For double blind review, personal information such as name of students, university and project should be submitted in separate. Any proposal with disclosed names of universities and/or students will be disqualified for competition.

Assessment of initial proposal:

• Novelty of the project (20%);
• Correctness of the concepts and theoretical analysis (20%);
• Results and/or final performance (20%);
• Potential of an impressive live demonstration (40%).

Second stage

1) Selected teams are required to create a short video explaining how the project works and demonstrating the power transfer. The video should be no longer than 10 minutes and it should show all parts of the project.

2) Onsite with practical demonstrations: at the 2025 IEEE Wireless Power Technology Conference and Expo (WPTCE).
