Students from Novocherkassk won silver at the "CASE-IN" championship

The final of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" is taking place in Moscow on May 28-30, 2024. On the first day of the finals, the results of the Student League were summed up: in the direction of "Electric Power Industry", the silver medalists were the students of YURGPU (NPI) – the team "The Power of Youth". The guys also have an award in the nomination "Best video camera".

A challenging competitive program awaited the finalists. The representatives of the teams had to solve a case presented by one of the companies working in the field of electric power industry, JSC System Operator of the Unified Energy System or ROSSETI Group, under strict time constraints. The polytechnics got the task proposed by the "System Operator of the Unified Energy System".

The Power of Youth team consists of captain Kirill Tislenko, Artyom Musaelyan, Artyom Chuganov and Daniil Ryzhkov.

"The task was set quite extensive. It was necessary to propose the introduction of artificial intelligence into digital technologies to improve lean manufacturing performance. At the same time, we had to analyze the effectiveness of our solution: at the moment and for the future. To show what effect their application would have on the subjects of the electric power industry," the winners say.

Students of the Faculty of Energy of YURGPU (NPI) proposed two technologies: "Assistant Dispatcher", which can offer possible options for disaster management for the operational staff of the dispatching centers of the branches - JSC "System Operator of the Unified Energy System". In addition, the guys have provided additional AI functions, with which dispatchers can spend much less time on various routine tasks, for example, filling out an operational log. The second solution is a technology that will reduce the percentage of malfunction of emergency automation, for example, asynchronous mode elimination automation, thereby reducing the economic damage from various system accidents. Both decisions were appreciated by the jury, the guys literally lacked a few points to squeeze the winner on the podium. But the "Power of Youth" considers the well-deserved "silver" to be an excellent result.

In general, the impressions of the whole team's participation in the finals are only positive. "The final is already a higher level compared to the qualifying and semi-final stages, of course, it was very interesting and exciting for us," Kirill Tislenko said. – The scale of the championship makes a huge impression. In recent years, more and more schoolchildren, students and young professionals from Russia and the CIS countries have taken part, as well as new areas for participation. The organization of the final was at a high level, so I would like to express my gratitude from the team to all the organizers of the championship! Not only were we able to test our strength in an intellectual competition, but we also had a great time surrounded by like-minded people! It was very useful to communicate with the experts with whom we interacted after defending our decision. It was interesting to talk with participants from other universities. In addition, various contests and sweepstakes were held at the championship site, and it was all interesting."

Another reason for the Polytechnic students to be proud is that "Tatiana Bazavova, a teacher and organizer of the university stages of the championship, an assistant at the Department of Electrical Stations and Electric Power Systems, has joined the Hall of Fame of the Championship.
