Are you ready to put your engineering skills to the test and tackle real-world challenges in digital power technologies? This Industrial Challenge invites teams to dive into Model-Based Engineering (MBE) and show how modern development workflows can drive innovation in fields like renewable energy, smart grids, microgrids, electrified transportation, and others using the TyphoonSim simulator (complete Guidelines can be found at the end of this page).

Teams must consist of up to five members, and at least one participant must be registered for SEPOC 2025. Key deliverables include a 2-page white paper (IEEE format), simulation files, source code, and a 5-minute explanatory video. Submissions are due by October 3, 2025, and the finalist presentations will take place during the SEPOC 2025 conference. Training materials, free licenses for TyphoonSim, and HIL Academy resources are provided to all participants.

Awards and recognition include:

• 1st Place: BRL 2,000.00 + Certificate + Sponsored Prize (Typhoon HIL101 Simulator + HIL TI Launchpad Interface for the winner’s institution)
• 2nd Place: BRL 1,000.00 + Certificate + Sponsored Prize (Typhoon HIL101 Simulator)
• 3rd Place: BRL 500.00 + Certificate + Honorable Mention
• All finalists: Certificate of Participation
