The participant of the CASE-IN championship from Tyumen became the grant holder of the UMNIK program

Maxim Kuznetsov, a graduate student at Tyumen Industrial University, became the winner of the UMNIK program in the field of Resource-saving energy. The experts supported his project "Development and research of a valve electric drill" with a grant.

The student of the Institute of Industrial Technologies and Engineering became interested in scientific work as a freshman. Participated in many student competitions, published in collections, participated in Olympiads and the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". In 2021, he graduated with a bachelor's degree in Electric Drive and Automation, successfully passed the entrance exams to the magistracy and is now continuing his studies at the Department of Electric Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering in the field of Intelligent Energy.

"The relevance of our project is extremely simple – reducing the energy consumption of drilling rigs by using a valve electric drill. The development is aimed at creating an electric motor of a special design that will provide better performance than drilling rigs used in the industry., – told Maxim Kuznetsov. – Of course, this will help the import substitution process. After all, the valve electric drive we are developing is not yet widely used in drilling in Russia, but it is being used and improved abroad. If we can get our product into production and improve the performance of drilling stations, our team will be happy."

The young scientist evaluates the victory in the competition as a pleasant event that imposes great responsibility and obliges him to achieve the result. After receiving a grant in the amount of 500 thousand rubles, work on the project will continue: well drilling data has been collected and analyzed, a mathematical description of the process has been performed, and as a result, a simulation model of an electric drill valve actuator has been created.
