Gagarin's scientific papers are published in the collection of the engineering championship "CASE-IN"

Organizing Committee The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" and Reliable Change Foundation prepared a collection of articles based on the strongest case solutions participants of the championship. Among the authors are students Saratov State Technical University named after Yuri Gagarin. The CASE-IN Championship is supported by the presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities", is included in the "Science to Win" initiative and the plan The Decade of Science and Technology, which takes place in Russia in 2022-2031.

The collection was published jointly with Kuzbass State Technical University named after T.F. Gorbachev. In total, it includes 21 articles by the strongest participants of the student league "CASE-IN". Young people from 16 universities reworked the engineering case solutions presented during the championship and submitted them for compilation.

"Over the 13 years of the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship, our participants have proposed many promising solutions relevant to industrial companies and the country's economy. So that the industry community could get acquainted with bright ideas, and the developments themselves found practical application on production sites, we decided to create this collection. I am sure it will be of interest to both current specialists and company executives, as well as students who plan to link their careers with engineering.", – said the founder and co-chairman of the organizing committee of the CASE-IN championship Artem Korolev.

The collection includes two articles by young authors of the Polytechnic University. Second-year Master's degree students Elena Dunaeva and Anna Shchelkunova, as part of the Synergy team at the Institute of Energy, conducted a study on the possibility of building a mini-hydroelectric power station in the Sverdlovsk region.

"We have proposed a possible option for developing the hydropower resources of the Sverdlovsk region through the construction of a mini-hydroelectric power station. We analyzed the specifics of the region, including the nature of the functioning of the energy system, and selected the most promising rivers in terms of potential efficiency of electricity generation, as well as identified the most functional layout options for mini-hydroelectric power plants," the authors of the idea said.

According to the students from the Saratov region, the implementation of the proposed solution will make a significant contribution to the development of the technological, social and economic spheres of the Sverdlovsk region and the country as a whole. The result of the construction of new hydroelectric power plants will be an increase in the utilization of the region's hydropower resources by 35% relative to the total potential and a reduction in the carbon burden on the region.

Alexander Ladin, Igor Shkoda, Ivan Kuznetsov and Valeria Bogdanova, as part of the Team Energy team, also representing SSTU, have prepared an article on "Improving the reliability of the ECO of the East by introducing new reserves of NDRF."

The article examines the technological disruption that occurred in 2017 in the ECO of the East, assesses its consequences and suggests a solution to prevent a similar situation in the future. The students propose to build hydroelectric power plants and PSPPs, which, in their opinion, will solve the urgent problem of the shortage of primary reserves in the ECO of the East, as well as bring positive environmental and social effects.

The preparation of both articles was supervised by Tatiana Dunaeva, PhD, Associate Professor of the Department of Electric Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering at SSTU.

The collection of articles by the participants of the CASE-IN championship will be registered in the Russian Science Citation Index. This means that all authors will receive additional privileges upon admission to master's and postgraduate studies and the opportunity to receive additional scholarships.

You can view the collection of articles at the link. The Organizing Committee of the CASE-IN championship will continue to work on the collection and is planning new editions of the publication.
