Students of the Altai Territory proposed to develop energy through technological innovations

The future power engineers of the Altai State Technical University named after I.I. Polzunov are competing to reach the finals of the XIII season of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, which is included in the presidential platform "Russia – the Land of Opportunities" and is also included in the "Science to Win" initiative of the plan for the Decade of Science and Technology in Russia. The qualifying stages of the Student League in 2025 are held on the basis of 83 partner universities of the championship and are dedicated to the topic "Technological innovations".

"Altai State Technical University named after I.I. Polzunov joined the CASE-IN Championship in 2018," said Artyom Korolev, founder and co—chairman of the organizing committee of the CASE-IN championship, "the university is developing the electric power industry, in which it is among the top 15 universities participating in the championship."

AltSTU students worked on a case study proposed by JSC "System Operator of the Unified Energy System" and dedicated to the application of technological innovations for the development of the Russian electric power industry. The teams identified growth points in terms of power and electricity consumption and proposed technological solutions for the implementation of projects for the new construction of power grid facilities, taking into account modern energy technologies. The first place and a ticket to the semifinals were won by the RATEK team, the Trivolt team took the second place, and the Positrons team took the third place.

Now the winners of the qualifying stage will face a new challenge – a remote semi-final, in which they will once again present their ideas and compete for tickets to the finals.

At the final of the championship at the end of May 2025 in Moscow, students will not only present their final solutions to the industry community, but also get acquainted with the developments of the best youth engineering teams from Russia and will have opportunities for professional and career growth. The champions and prize-winners of the Student League will receive preferential conditions for admission to master's and postgraduate studies at specialized universities, complete internships and internships at partner companies, and attend industry youth educational forums.

The organizers of the CASE-IN championship are the Reliable Change Foundation, the Non-profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders, AstraLogica LLC and the presidential platform Russia — the Land of Opportunities.

The project is included in the "Science to Win" initiative of the plan for the Decade of Science and Technology in Russia. The championship is held as part of the implementation of the federal project "Russia – the land of opportunities" of the national project "Youth and Children".
