IRKUTSK RDU EXPERTS ARE CONFIDENT: "CASE-IN" WILL HELP YOU GET A TICKET TO THE FUTURE

Irkutsk National Research Technical University (IRNTU) hosted the qualifying stage of the Student League of the XII International Engineering CASE-IN Championship in the field of Electric Power engineering.

The tasks of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" of the XII season were united by the theme of lean manufacturing. 17 teams from leading technical universities of the Irkutsk region took part in the qualifying round.

The contestants had to solve a case developed by JSC "System Operator of the Unified Energy System" on the use of artificial intelligence in the electric power industry within 10 days.

Industry experts evaluated the youth's decisions. Vladimir Kornilov and Dmitry Bukharov participated in the work of the expert commission from the branch of the Irkutsk RDU System Operator.

In the qualifying stage, the Transformers team, consisting of students from the Baikal BRICS Institute at the IRNTU, became the leader. The Polytechnic students talked about the synergetic management of the energy system using artificial intelligence. According to experts, the project corresponds to the theme of lean manufacturing, helps to increase the resilience of the power grid to extreme weather conditions and emergencies.

The best electric power engineers were congratulated by Vladimir Kornilov, a representative of Irkutsk RDU, who has been participating in the championship as an expert since 2021.

"Discussing with the participants the proposed areas of application of artificial intelligence technologies, we also noted that it would be a long time before these technologies could fully replace highly qualified energy engineers. Therefore, engineering specialties are still in demand. The XII championship proved once again that "CASE-IN" helps young people to understand real production tasks, present their potential to potential employers, and see prospects for self-realization and further career. In short, this is a ticket to the future for young engineers.", – commented Vladimir Kornilov.
