Held during the annual Singapore International Energy Week, Youth@SIEW is a key outreach platform to engage tertiary students and educators on the latest energy trends and career opportunities in the energy sector. The theme for Youth@SIEW 2022 is “A Resilient and Sustainable Energy Future”. The guest-of-honour is Ms Low Yen Ling, Minister of State, Ministry of Trade and Industry & Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth.
This event provides insights on energy developments and challenges, and provides a platform for participants to be engaged with industry and government on the importance of innovation and co-creation in achieving a more sustainable energy future.
Youth@SIEW also features exhibitions that showcase energy-related innovations by students from various institutes of higher learning.

Sharing by Industry Speaker  Mr Vincent Lau, Chief Technology Officer, Pylon City Pylon City is an EnergyTech startup that focuses on making cities greener and more sustainable. The startup partnered with the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in 2018 to trial Singapore’s first electric bike sharing service, fuelled by its solar-powered charging station on campus. Pylon City, was also part of Cohort 3 of the Shell Startup Engine Programme, and was awarded a grant by Shell-EMA to develop Sustainable Charging Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Unmanned Delivery Vehicles (UDVs) in July 2021. Since 2014, Vincent is also an Adjunct Lecturer of the Institute of System Science, National University of Singapore (ISS-NUS), where he co-develops curricula and teaches product management and architecting platforms, as well as Innovation Leadership and Innovation Ecosystem modules. |

2. Streetlamp Electric Vehicle Charger
Summary of project
Presently, the deployment of electric vehicle (EV) chargers in Singapore is constrained by factors such as high costs and land scarcity, which in turn affects the take-up rate of EVs. Our proposed solution reduces the costs and complexity of EV charger installation by tapping on existing streetlamp infrastructure. If replicated on a large scale, this project has the potential to contribute to the Singapore Green Plan 2030.

3. Standalone Solar Photovoltaic Module Performance Monitoring Test-Bed System
Summary of project
The aim of this project is to serve as a test-bed for monitoring and testing the performance of different types of solar photovoltaic(PV) modules under all weather conditions. This prototype test-bed setup enables it to function as a standalone and portable system which collects and transmits data for NUS’ SERIS Central Monitoring System (CMS). The rapid development in solar module technologies/manufacturing requires a robust testing system under real-life conditions. The system can monitor real-time data and collect both weather and electrical parameters of the solar PV module for performance benchmarking. Data storage on the cloud server is also available for ease of data analysis.

4. Hyper Propulsion Power Craft 2.0 (Hybrid Propulsion - Solar Powered Boat)
Summary of project
An improved version of an earlier prototype, this solar-powered craft will be tested in water via a sea trial. The aim is to reduce carbon emissions from large ships by encouraging large vessels to use a cleaner source of energy.

5. Smart Electric Vehicle Charging and Monitoring System
Summary of project
In March 2021, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced a plan to accelerate nationwide deployment of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging points, in support of Singapore’s target to have cleaner-energy vehicles by 2040. A key issue is how to share the usage of charging stations among EV owners fairly, efficiently and effectively. This project aims to address this issue by focusing on the AC charger.

7. Symbiotic Food and Energy Production in an Energy Resilient Future
Summary of project
This project aims to study the effects of how effective evapotranspiration from plants helps in lowering solar photovoltaic module temperature. It is an enhanced version of a previous prototype that was showcased at the Youth Energy Showcase in 2021.

8. Analysis of Annual Load Loss Due to Voltage Sags in Industrial Distribution Network with Photovoltaics
Summary of project
To develop a simulation-based method to calculate the economic impact of voltage sags on industrial distribution systems with Distributed Photovoltaics (PVs), by considering voltage tolerance requirements of industrial loads. To find out how distributed PVs help to reduce the cost of annual load disconnections for industries.

9. General-Purpose Cell Balancing for Battery Management System
Summary of project
A Battery Management System (BMS) is a critical component of a modern electronic battery system as it extends the battery cells’ usable lifespan, thereby reducing environmental waste generated at the battery’s end of life. However, the majority of off-the-shelf BMS products use passive cell-balancing, which wastes energy by dissipating the energy in resistors. This project aims to design and build a more energy-efficient BMS that utilises active cell- balancing applicable to all types of batteries, including Li-ion, lead acid, etc.
