ABOUT WePOWER

The World Bank started “South Asia Gender and Energy” (SAGE) initiative with a plan to establish a “Women in Power Sector Network in South Asia (WePOWER)” to promote women engineers and practitioners in the energy and power sector and bring normative change regarding women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education. WePOWER track focuses on promoting and advancing the fields of women in power and energy sectors. The track aims to increase innovation in the Energy and Power Sector led by Women and thereby achieving a clean way to generate energy and bring formative change from the women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education with an ideal solution for the removal of all kind of hazards from power generation in a clean and healthy manner.

The goal of IEEE WePOWER is to support the professional growth and success of women in these fields and to foster diversity and inclusion within the power and energy engineering community.

Theme for WePOWER Track 2023

“Clean and Affordable Energy”

The theme mainly focuses on reducing carbon footprints and sustain the availability of energy for future generations.

Objective:

The key objective of WePOWER is to elevate and empower women in the Power field. This track motivates women for efficient involvement in energy system projects and utilities. WePOWER visualizes clean energy systems with the future vision to provide a safe environment even with the means of energy generation.

why Participants should make use of this wonderful opportunity

Networking with new people

By grabbing this wonderful opportunity, you all can meet new people and you can get their guidance.

Raising opportunities for women in technical field

As we all know this track mainly focuses on women in all fields, mainly in all areas of power and energy, helping them in career advancement and experience.

Learn trending information about Energy

Women are power of future generation, as it says we should be aware of resources around us and what all are the way it is utilized in the current modern society

As an entrepreneur

When we get to know how to improve our business and quality in using renewable resources without wasting it, everyone can become an entrepreneur.

Promoting Power and Energy in a useful way

By giving ideas for generation and distribution of energy, installing new power plants etc we can promote more renewable resources.

Which type of project can be submitted in this Track?

Projects (working model/simulation) and ideas adhering to the track theme “Clean Energy - clean and affordable energy”, falling within the specified domains:
  • Green Energy Generation - The range of Green Energy options are increasing day by day with the introduction of modern technology invented through materials research. Ideas are expected for energy generation options: technology, economics, adaptability, sustainability, environmental impact etc.
  • Energy Storage - When energy can neither be created nor destroyed, the method of using Electrical Energy whenever necessary without a continuously supplying generator, is possible only by having efficient storage mechanisms. Ideas are invited for storing electrical energy options: Stationary, Mobile, Small scale to large scale, Kinetic or potential, technology, economics, adaptability, sustainability, environmental impact etc.
  • Demand Side Management - As the possibility of natural, conventional and cheaper Energy generation options are getting lower and lower, the necessity for the consumers to reduce or shift the demand to meet the supply is very critical. Ideas are expected to suggest ways of Demand Side management, Demand scheduling by all ranges of consumers: process, economics, adaptability, sustainability, environmental impact etc.
  • DC Distribution Systems - Reducing the number of conversions from DC to AC and from AC to DC reduces the losses, the possibility of using DC for energy at homes or industries is being encouraged worldwide, especially with the introduction of PV. Ideas are invited to improve the efficiency of such DC systems: technology, economics, adaptability, sustainability, environmental impact etc.
  • E Mobility - In the pursuit of making the world carbon free and net zero, the significance of Electric Vehicles and Electric transportation is very significant. Ideas are expected for the new scope of electric mobility options: technology, economics, adaptability, sustainability, environmental impact etc.

Points to be noted by the Participants:

  • Maximum number of team members: 4. (At least one girl should be on the team.)
  • Team members may originate from various academic institutions, businesses, and nations. The team's registered members will be the only ones to receive certificates. The team registration should also include the names of the mentors.
  • Teams are locked when the abstract is submitted, and any additional changes to team members or mentors will not be accepted.
  • Research studies, idea proposals, working models (hardware), and simulation efforts are all accepted. However, a thorough literature review should firmly support the technical content. Innovativeness and a potential for good should characterise the proposed location.
  • Each Team is completely in charge of maintaining its own sense of unity and cooperation.

Rules and Regulations:

  • The competition is open to all undergraduate students, post graduate students, young professionals and research scholars.
  • Project abstracts should be submitted through the YESIST12 website.
  • Abstracts should adhere to the track theme.
  • Abstracts will be evaluated and the teams will be notified of their selection to finals.
  • Selected teams should register through the link before the deadline in order to confirm their participation in the finals.
  • Only registered members of the team will be given certificates. Mentor names should also accompany the team registration. They will also be provided with certificates.
  • Participants should present their work during the finals to the judging panel.
  • Decision of the committee/panel will be final.

Track structure:

Call for abstracts:

Anybody interested in the WePower track is welcome to submit an abstract. There should be a worldwide call for abstracts. Through the online portal, participants can submit their abstracts (available on the website)
