57 SolWind Tree – Generating Clean Energy Rain or Shine 無懼風雨 再生能源新時代 在VTC智慧城市創新中心的指導下,兩位IVE工程 學科學生葉東運(Jacky)及林昊熹(Matthew)研發 創新能源系統「太陽能風樹」,採用混合發電模式 實現全天候穩定供應可再生能源,即使在超級颱風 等極端天氣條件下仍能保持運作。團隊透過硬件 設計及在自動化系統中引用公共天氣數據,大幅 提升能源轉換效率。 此項創新成果已獲得多項嘉許,包括2024年中 電「節能低碳創明天比賽」銅獎、2023/24年 度市區重建局與IVE合辦「創意工程及建築設計 比賽」優異獎,以及VTC企業共創中心創新意念 2024/25創新組別銀獎。新一屆工程學生團隊已 正式承接此項目,並計劃與VTC智慧城市創新中 心探討業界合作,於沿海地區設置原型機以收集 實地數據,持續改良系統,推動香港可再生能源 技術應用。 Two IVE Engineering students Jacky YIP Tung-wan and Matthew LAM Ho-hei jointly created the SolWind Tree, an innovative renewable energy system, with the support of VTC Smart City Innovation Centre. This hybrid design generates clean energy 24/7, even during extreme weather events like super typhoons. Its operational efficiency is optimised through hardware design and an automated system using public weather data. This creative installation has earned multiple awards, including Bronze Award at the CLP Empowering Youth for a Sustainable Future Programme 2024, Merit Award at the Urban Renewal Authority x IVE Innovation Design Competition 2023/24, and the Silver Award in VTC ITCC Innovation Awards 2024/25 (Innovation Track). Most importantly, a new team of Engineering students has now taken over the SolWind Tree project. The new team and VTC Smart City Innovation Centre will explore possibilities with the industry to place the prototype in coastal area for data collection and further design refinement, promoting renewable energy application in Hong Kong. During their study at IVE, Jacky (left, photo on right) and Matthew (right, photo on right) together developed the prototype of SolWind. The project has been succeeded by a new team of students for continued refinement (photo on left). Jacky(右圖,左)及Matthew(右圖, 右)在IVE求學期間合作構思研發「太 陽能風樹」原型,並已交予師弟妹接 力進一步改良設計(左圖)。
