Omsk students presented solutions for the electric power industry at the CASE-IN championship

The final of the XIII season of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, which is supported by the presidential platform "Russia is a land of Opportunity" and is included in the "Science to Win" initiative of the plan for the Decade of Science and Technology in Russia, will be held in May 2025. 11 teams of future specialists in the field of electric power industry presented their projects at the selection stage at the Polytechnic.

The participants of the qualifying stages of the Student League, which take place on the basis of 83 universities, solve cases on the topic of "Technological innovations" in teams. In the meeting room of the Academic Council of the university, the participants of the "Electric Power Industry" direction from OmSTU and OmGUPS presented their ideas. The students developed technical measures for the construction of an overhead power transmission line from large-scale generation to an energy-deficient area using alternating current or direct current technologies with technical and economic justification. They had to choose the type of current of the line under construction, the main equipment of the substations and the route of the power line.

The assignment for the participants was based on the actual production situations of key Russian companies – partners of the championship, PJSC ROSSETI and JSC System Operator of the Unified Energy System. The projects of the teams were evaluated by experts – representatives of partner companies and university teachers.

According to the results of the defenses of the qualifying stage, the results were distributed as follows:

The 1st place went to the 4ENergetIka team, which included 4th-year students of the OmSTU Energy Institute Dmitry Plotnikov, Sofia Petrova, Alexander Davydov and Dmitry Ageev;

The 2nd place went to the 3+1 team, consisting of Rostislav Egorov, Kristina Minkova, Vladislav Semenchenko and Stanislav Prokhorov, 3rd-year polytechnicians from the Energy Institute.;

The 3rd place went to the "Charged" team from OmGUPS consisting of 4th year students Valeria Dolzhenok, Evgeny Titov and Elizaveta Rekina.

The champions and prize-winners of the Student League will have the opportunity to enroll in master's and postgraduate studies at specialized universities on preferential terms, complete internships and internships at partner companies, and also attend industry youth educational forums.   

It should be noted that 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.
