Krasnoyarsk RDU specialists have discovered the "hidden reserves" of knowledge of the participants of the "CASE-IN" championship

The Siberian Federal University hosted the qualifying stage of the Student League in the field of "Electric Power Engineering" of the XI International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". Experts of the Branch of the System Operator Krasnoyarsk RDU We participated in the evaluation of the solutions presented by the participants.

The Student League season is dedicated to the single theme of "Technological Leadership." System operator, permanent partner of the Reliable Change Foundation and the Electric Power Industry division of the championship «CASE-IN», This year, he developed a case study on the development of the country's hydropower potential.

Representatives of the Krasnoyarsk RDU took an active part in the championship, which was held on the basis of the Siberian Federal University, a university with which the dispatch center had a long–term effective cooperation.  Ivan Sytov, Head of the Relay Protection and Automation Service, became one of the experts of the qualifying round, and Vladimir Nemtinov, Head of the Stability and Emergency Automation Department of the Electrical Modes Service, headed the expert commission.

According to the case study proposed by the System Operator, the teams developed a plan for the development of hydropower resources and the development of Russian hydrogenation facilities operating in technologically isolated power systems for the coming years and for the long term.

Over the course of 10 days, 8 student teams solved an engineering case close to real-world practice. Working on the case, the students expanded their knowledge and gained skills in solving specific production tasks. The proposed solutions were presented by the participants to an expert commission, which included representatives of energy companies and university teachers.

The intense struggle ended with the victory of the Hidden Reserve team, consisting of 4th-year students of the Department of Electric Power Engineering at SibFU.

Summing up the work, the chairman of the expert commission, Vladimir Nemtinov, noted: "The championship promotes the professional development of all participants, as the cases being solved are close to the production tasks that are being solved in the electric power industry. «CASE-IN» – a way to learn with interest and an opportunity to test your knowledge and your potential. By solving cases, participants activate the hiding reserves of their knowledge and skills, which opens up good career prospects for them."

After the completion of the qualifying stage, the Krasnoyarsk RDU experts were presented with Letters of Thanks from the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation "For the expert work done as part of the qualifying stage of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN".
