The expert of the System Operator noted the importance of "CASE-IN" in the development of human resources

Director Altai representative office of the System Operator Vitaly Magera, who participated in the work of the expert commission of the qualifying stage of the CASE-IN championship, noted the important role of the project in the development of the human potential of the electric power industry.

On March 2, in Barnaul, on the basis of the Altai State Technical University named after I.I. Polzunov (AltSTU), the qualifying stage of the Student League in the field of "Electric Power Engineering" of the XI International Engineering CASE-IN Championship was held. The participants' work was evaluated by representatives of the faculty of AltSTU, as well as experts from relevant industry organizations, including representatives of JSC "System Operator of the Unified Energy System".

"Participation in the CASE-IN championship gives students the opportunity to develop by solving real production tasks, engaging in scientific and technical creativity. The country needs engineers and breakthrough technologies. The CASE-IN Championship is an excellent launching pad to prove yourself and gain invaluable experience in solving relevant industry tasks in practice.", – he said in an address to the participants of the championship Vitaly Magera.

One of the objectives of the championship is to train specialists who can offer non–standard solutions for the development of the industry.

12 student teams solved a case close to real practice. The participants had to analyze the electric grid facility located in the Siberian ECO and develop a program for its development until 2030 to meet the growing electricity needs of the region. When solving the problem, it was necessary to provide for the introduction of domestic innovative technologies and take into account the priorities of state policy in the field of electric power industry.

Summing up the work of the expert commission, Vitaly Magera noted the special importance of the CASE-IN championship from the point of view of developing engineering thinking and the opportunity to immerse oneself in the problems and challenges of modern energy and in ways to solve them.

The CASE-IN Championship is an international competition system for solving engineering cases for schoolchildren, students and young specialists in the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes. The cases are developed based on materials from industry enterprises. In 2019, the championship was included in the Russia – Land of Opportunity platform, created on the initiative of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The system operator has been a strategic partner of the CASE-IN championship since its organization. Within the framework of the "Electric Power Industry" branch, the System Operator's specialists participate in the development of assignments, and also serve on expert commissions.
