T Plus power engineers participated in the selection of projects for the engineering CASE-IN championship

Representatives of T Plus participated in the evaluation of projects of the XII International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" in the field of Thermal power engineering. 8 teams, consisting mainly of undergraduates from the Faculty of Thermal Power Engineering (TEF) of SamSTU, presented their projects to the jury.

The contestants were given the general topic "Optimization of the thermal power system". As part of the solution to this case, it was proposed to develop a unique project for transferring heat load from boilers to a power plant and substantiate its effectiveness. The priorities for the students were to maintain uninterrupted hot and heat supply to the residents of the metropolis, as well as the use of lean manufacturing tools.

Following the results of the defense, an expert commission consisting of faculty members and specialists from the Samara branch of PJSC T Plus, headed by TEF Dean Konstantin Trubitsyn, awarded prizes to the teams:

- 1st place – Green goats team (captain – Ivan Kozhin);

- 2nd place – team "Teplopuziki" (captain – Lev Kovyazin);

- 3rd place – HPTeam team (captain – Anna Shvyndenkova).

The final of the XII CASE-IN International Engineering Championship will be held in Moscow at the end of May 2024.

"The CASE-IN Championship provides an opportunity for young people from different regions of Russia to develop, solving real production tasks, engaging in scientific and technical creativity. For a number of SamSTU students, participation in the engineering championship becomes a stepping stone to employment at T Plus," said Viktor Yashin, Technical Director and Chief Engineer of Samarskaya GRES.

"In fact, it was difficult to identify the winners. Representatives of the T Plus company noted that all case solutions can be implemented in production. I hope that we will meet the current team at the company's facilities," Konstantin Trubitsyn, Dean of the Faculty of Thermal Power Engineering, assessed the results of the event.

The International Engineering CASE-IN Championship is an international competition system for solving engineering cases among schoolchildren, students and young specialists in the fuel and energy and mineral resource industries. T Plus annually acts as a partner of the engineering championship. Young employees of the company's branches participate in the qualifying stages of the League of Young Professionals, and company representatives act as CASE-IN experts.
