Students of Belarusian universities presented measures to reduce the accident rate of electric networks

The qualifying stage of the XII International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" in the field of "Electric power Engineering" was held at the Department of "Locomotives".

This year, students of the specialty "Electricity Supply (by industry)" from educational institutions "Belarusian State University of Transport" and "Gomel State Technical University named after P.O. Sukhoi" took part in the qualifying stage of the championship.

The participants, as future employees of the electric power industry, were asked to develop technical and organizational measures to reduce the level of accidents in electric networks.

The task of the case was as follows:

• analysis of accident statistics and indicators, as well as characteristics of emergency events;
• identification of typical emergency situations and factors affecting accident rates and reliability;
• analysis of the list of equipment used at energy industry facilities and the latest domestic innovations for each type of equipment;
• the proposal to implement no more than 3 technical and 3 organizational measures for the period up to 2029 to improve the reliability of the network and reduce the accident rate of energy industry facilities in accordance with the concept of "lean manufacturing", substantiating their importance and ranking them according to the order of implementation;
• When conducting an economic assessment of the proposed measures, it is necessary to assess the volume of investments for the implementation of innovative measures and the timing of implementation, as well as determine the effect.

The ideas of future engineers were evaluated Mikhail Stradomsky – Chairman of the Council of Young Scientists of BELGUT, Researcher at the Scientific Research Institute "Transportation Process Management", Senior Lecturer at the Department "Operational Management and Labor Protection"; Oksana Sergeevna Ananyeva – M.T.N., Senior Lecturer at the Department of Locomotives; Frolenkova Ekaterina Olegovna – M.T.N., Senior Lecturer at the Department of Transport Economics; Shapovalov Vadim Aleksandrovich – M.T.N., Assistant Professor of the Department of Locomotives; Kirill V. Maksimchik is a postgraduate student at the Department of Technical Physics and Theoretical Mechanics, a member of the Council of Young Scientists at BELGUT.

 The "Voltage" commands (BelGUT) and Iskra (Sukhoi State Technical University), which scored the most points, advanced to the next stage of the XII International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN".
