The team of Petrozavodsk State University Karelian Protection won the qualifying stage of the prestigious International Engineering CASE-IN Championship in the field of Electric Power Engineering, which was held at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.

International Engineering championship "CASE-IN" is an international competition system for solving engineering cases for schoolchildren, students and young specialists of fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes.

The topic of the case is the digital transformation of the electric grid at the operational and technological management level for sustainable development.

 "It took 10 days to prepare the solution, and the team worked very hard all this time, working late into the night.", - told the students of PetrSU.

The team consisted of: Sergey Pimenov (4th year, Department of Enterprise Energy Supply and Energy Conservation at the Institute of Physics and Technology), Sergey Nosov (3rd year, Department of Enterprise Energy Supply and Energy Conservation at the Institute of Physics and Technology); Elizaveta Kuchenkova (4th year, Department of Economic Theory and Management at the Institute of Economics and Law), Anastasia Simanova (4th course, Department of Energy Supply of Enterprises and Energy Conservation of the Institute of Physics and Technology).

The expert commission includes representatives of major energy organizations: ODU of the North-West, STC UES (branches of SO UES), MES of the North-West (branch of FGC UES), Rosseti of the North-West, Lenenergo, as well as teachers of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.

A total of 12 teams participated in the championship. Following the results of the championship, the PetrSU team will participate in the semifinals in the North-Western Federal District in April, which will include three teams from each of the three qualifying stages (SPbPU, Mining University and LETI).

"It is worth noting that PetrSU is participating in the championship for the third time: in 2016, at the qualifying stage at the Mining University, two participants from PetrSU as part of the Military Academy of Communications team took 8th place out of 11 teams, and last year the PetrSU team at stage She took 6th place out of 13 teams at Polytech. Thus, this year's victory is a historic event.", - commented on the results of the championship Denis Petrushin, lecturer at the Department of Energy Supply of Enterprises and Energy Conservation at PetrSU, mentor of the PetrSU team.
