The teams of the Novokuibyshev branch of SamSTU received high marks from CASE-IN experts

The qualifying stages of the Student League of the XII International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" are continuing. The general theme of this year's competition is "Lean Manufacturing". At Samara Polytechnic University, the teams of the Novokuibyshev branch of SamSTU participated in the qualifying stage in two directions.

On the instructions of JSC "System Operator of the Unified Energy System", eight teams worked on the case "Application of artificial intelligence technologies in the electric power industry". The ELEACTRO branch team took the third place. The authors of one of the best solutions are students of the Department of "Electric Power Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Automation of technological processes" - the captain of the team, a third-year student Roman Korytnikov and the sophomores Andrey Dedulin, Regina Iksanova, Pavel Markov.

"In the presentation, the team presented an interesting solution, and the presentation was very good," said the Deputy Director of Project Management at Energiyaproekt LLC Ilvira Dobrosotskikh, who served on the jury. - The guys competed with the graduates of the department of "Electric power plants" of SamSTU.

According to the jury, the team of the Novokuibyshev branch of SamSTU was not inferior to the leaders in the technology solution, and received higher marks for economic calculations, presentation and answers to questions.

Students of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Technology successfully debuted in the Championship in the non-core field of Oil and gas business. They took the seventh place among 11 teams, justifying the choice of a field development strategy on behalf of the Yakutsk Fuel and Energy Company. The captain of the Formula for Success team distinguished himself Artyom Kurashov and Elizaveta Serebryakova (4th year), Victoria Yemelyanova (3rd year) and Anastasia Kovalenko (1st year of Master's degree).

"I consider the performance of Novokuibyshev students to be successful," said Alexey Zinoviev, Chairman of the jury, Associate Professor of the Department of Development and Operation of Oil and Gas Fields at SamSTU, Candidate of Technical Sciences. – Congratulations to the guys and the Polytech branch on the debut of the CASE-IN oil and gas league. Not everyone starts so confidently. The solutions proposed by the team were justified and competently presented. Definitely, some of them can be recommended for implementation in the field. The team was prepared to speak and answer questions. Most of the competitors were much more experienced – undergraduates and students of various courses in the field of "Oil and gas business". This gave them an obvious advantage in solving a case study on the problem of improving the operation of wells in a gas field. I wish the debutants to use their experience in the future. They had the opportunity to defend their project in front of the senior staff of the RITEK-SAMARA-NAFTA enterprise and received valuable comments from them."

Another team of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Technology passed the qualifying stage of the Championship in the field of Petrochemistry remotely at the Dzerzhinsky Polytechnic Institute. 10 teams competed for the victory. The participants developed a set of measures to improve the efficiency of the petrochemical company's business processes on behalf of SIBUR.

The experts on the jury noted projects to improve modern technologies, supported by calculations and competent answers to the questions asked. They were presented by students of St. Petersburg Mining University (1st place), Ural Federal University (2nd place) and Novokuibyshev branch of SamSTU (3rd place).

The branch's team consisted of undergraduates in the field of Chemical Technology, young specialists of enterprises. Daryana Balabashkina is an engineer at Samaraneftekhimproekt LLC, Mark Voronov is a design engineer at Novokuibyshev Petrochemical Company, Daniel Osipyan is the head of the Department for Improving Operational Efficiency at Novokuibyshev Refinery. The undergraduates economically justified the decision in three directions: reduction of dependence on the supply of imported reagents; modernization of heat exchangers at installations; the use of surfactants during scheduled repairs for steaming equipment.

The branch team lost 0.5 points to the winners from St. Petersburg.
