On the 48th International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva in March 2021, the new energy team, led by Prof. Chen Weirong from Electrical Engineering School, carried away with two gold and two silver prizes, among which, "Fuel Cell Hybrid (FCH) Power Tramway" and "High Power and High Performance FCH Power System" captured the gold award, "Fuel Cell (FC) Shunting Locomotive" and " FCH Power System for Rail Traffic", the Silver Award.
Founded in 1973 by the World Intellectual Property Organization and the Federal Government of Switzerland and the Municipal Government of Geneva, the Geneva International Invention Fair aimed to showcase worldwide innovative technologies and inventions. As one of the longest, largest and most famous inventions exhibitions in the world, it has attracted more than 600 projects from more than 20 countries and regions. Participating in the exhibition for the first time on behalf of SWJTU, more than 600 projects from over 20 countries and regions. The University’s projects stood out among the exhibits and gained international recognition for their pioneering innovations in the field of new energy rail transit
As the first in the Country, Chen’s team commenced on the research on the application of hydrogen fuel cells in rail transit in 2008, and has made multiple breakthroughs in the core technologies of high-power fuel cell optimization control, energy management of hybrid power system, fault diagnosis and life prediction. Spearheading the development of hydrogen rail transit technology in the country, the team developed China's first fuel cell electric locomotive and the world's first fuel cell hybrid tram, and provided the core technology for China's first hydrogen fuel cell hybrid locomotive.
