Mr. Lawn and his team’s Wind Turbine Yawing Optimization Project was recognized for its success in increasing energy efficiency. The team won the prize money of ,700 USD.
Mr. Lawn and his team achieved success on their second attempt, having previously participated in this contest a year earlier, when they were funded by the 2014 Global Challenge and Creation (G.C & C) Program organized by the Robert T. Huang Entrepreneurship Center of Kyushu University (QREC).
The prize-winning project received the Challenge and Creation (C&C) Project President’s Award in both 2013 and 2014, and the technology has now achieved international recognition with this award.
