SevSU students solve problems of Crimean energy supply enterprises

Two SevSU student teams are participating in the Autumn Cup of the Student League of the international CASE-IN Championship, one of the projects of the presidential platform "Russia — the Land of Opportunities". Residents of Sevastopol offer solutions to engineering cases for energy-supplying enterprises in their city and Crimea.

More than 25 teams from different regions of Russia were invited to the competition. 12 reached the semifinals. Sevastopol State University is represented by the Amigos and Positron teams, the university's press service reports.

There are 4 participants in each team, three representatives of technical fields of study and one consultant–economist, as the cases include not only technical solutions, but also their economic justifications.

"As part of the competition task, we analyzed the Krym TETS enterprise, which is engaged in the production and supply of thermal energy. In 2019, the company became unprofitable, so we propose an innovative project that should solve a number of problems not only for Krym CHP, but also for the Crimean Peninsula as a whole," said the captain of the Amigosa team, a 1st—year student at the Institute of Information Technology and Management in Technical Systems. Mustafa Muratov.

The technology proposed by the students is new for Russia. This development has been used only once in Norway.

The initial task of the Positron team is to optimize the process of interaction between the region's energy—supplying enterprises and related enterprises. Synthesis should benefit all participants in the process.

"We offer a technology that will increase the level of digitalization of energy-supplying enterprises. More precisely, the digitization of all processes and flows in the region's energy supply system. Each power transmission unit will be allocated as an augmented reality unit. Then the malfunction of the unit can be diagnosed using a mobile phone," said the captain of the Positron team, a graduate student at the Institute of Radio Electronics and Information Security. Andrey Azarov.

According to the students' calculations, the project will take 2.5 years to complete.

The students' decisions will be evaluated by an expert commission, which will include representatives of the championship's partner companies. The winners and champions will receive prizes, as well as participation in the Russia – Land of Opportunities forum, preferential admission conditions for master's and postgraduate studies at partner universities of the championship.
