Future power engineers of the Novosibirsk region entered the top three winners of the "CASE-IN" final

The final of the jubilee X International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" was held in Moscow. According to the results of the championship, the NSTU NETI team took the third place in the Student League in the field of "Electric Power Industry". The fEn team included fourth-year students of the Faculty of Energy: Artur Metzler, Maria Rezaeva, Sofia Ryazanova, Natalia Cheganova.

The final was preceded by two remote stages: a qualifying/regional stage and a semi-final for each federal district of the Russian Federation, where the best university teams were represented. The final tests in Moscow in the field of "Electric Power Engineering" took place over two days — students solved practical problems developed with the support of partner companies of the championship:

• Joint Stock Company "System Operator of the Unified Energy System" (JSC "SO UES");
• Federal Grid Company of the Unified Energy System ("Rosseti FGC UES", public name of FGC UES PJSC).

"It is very important for us that young people who plan to connect their lives with the electric power industry receive a unique experience in solving practical problems based on real production situations during the championship. The championship is attended by students of partner universities of the System Operator who are studying in specialized programs, as well as universities with which the System Operator has signed cooperation agreements. It is gratifying to see that students of two such universities were among the prize-winners and winners: SPbPU. Peter the Great and NSTU NETI. These are the guys who, we hope, will work in our company after completing their studies.", — said the HR Director of JSC "SO UES" Bayrta Perveeva.

The places on the podium were distributed as follows:

1st place — the WattsUp team of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. Peter the Great,

2nd place — the WeWatt team of St. Petersburg Mining University,

3rd place — the "fEn" team of Novosibirsk State Technical University NETI.

The captain of the team, Maria Rezaeva, took part in the final for the second time. According to the results of the 2021 finals, Maria shared her impressions: "Our team got together by chance during a break between pairs, we didn't even think that we would be able to get to the semifinals, let alone the finals. We didn't have enough experience in the final, but next year we'll fix our mistakes and come back for a win!"

A year has passed, and the guys have entered the top three: "I am very pleased with the results of the final! When the expert commission, represented by Yuri Alekseevich Kulikov, calls our performance exemplary and gives advice on solving the case, this, of course, speaks volumes. We are third in the final, we still have a lot to strive for and grow. Thanks to the championship, we have received many offers of employment and master's degree programs not only from electric power companies, but also from such giants as Rusal and ALROSA. There are many roads open before us, and the right choice is the key to our successful professional activity."
