Representatives of RNC CIGRE Subcommittees at the Case-in Championship

March 15th, 2017 The qualifying stage of the Electric Power Industry League was held at the National Research University "MEI" V anniversary International Engineering Championship "Case-in". The Case-in Championship is held in 47 universities, covers 35 regions of Russia and the CIS countries. More than 3,000 students are competing for a ticket to the finals of the Championship, which will traditionally be held in Moscow on May 30-31, 2017. 

International Engineering Championship "Case-in" − the only federal case championship in Russia, an effective tool for transferring practical knowledge, experience and new competencies to future engineering specialists.

Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak celebrates the importance of the Championship: "Over the five years of its implementation, the Championship has become an authoritative industry platform bringing together all parties interested in developing Russia's engineering and technical potential.: government, companies, higher education institutions, sectoral public initiatives, advanced youth".

10 days before the qualifying stage, the teams received engineering cases for solving production problems at the Bystrinsky GOK project. However, as Olga Zubok, the leader of the Case-in project, noted, the data is not always accurate to preserve trade secrets. The cases facing the participants were as follows: "To compile a list of types and number of electrical receivers of Bystrinsky GOK's external and internal infrastructure facilities for the period of construction", "To determine the composition of consumers powered by GOK's internal power supply systems. Calculate the electrical load of the plant for the construction period in 2017. To chart the growth of the electric load of the plant over time, determine the priority and sequence of connecting consumers to power supply systems", "Select the technological sites of the TP RP power supply centers on the territory of the plant. Select power equipment for internal power supply systems, develop an internal power supply system for Bystrinsky GOK for the period of construction until the moment of connection to the EU ECO of Russia" and the like.

Three cases based on materials from JSC SO UES, PJSC FGC UES and PJSC RusHydro have been developed for the participants of the Electric Power Industry League. 7 teams from 3 universities competed in this qualifying round – 4 teams from the National Research University "MEI", 2 teams from the Tver State Technological University and the NUST MISIS team.  

The work of the League's expert commission on energy was attended by representatives of the RNC CIGRE Subcommittees, including the coordinator of the RNC CIGRE Subcommittee D1 Vladimir Nikolaevich Ustinov.

The teams from all three universities qualified for the finals. The CS Group team (captain Anastasia Prikhodko) took the first place, the Sistema (captain Ilya Kozlov) and Kontakt (captain Vyacheslav Martyshkin) teams took the 2nd and 3rd place, respectively.

On March 15, 2017, the qualifying stage of the Electric Power Industry League of the International Engineering Championship "Case-in" was also held on the territory of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.

The work of the expert commission was attended by representatives of the RNC CIGRE Subcommittees, including Alexander Evgenievich Monastyrsky, Ph.D. Head of the Department. NIS office. TVN EvKT, Head of the EG Subcommittee D1 and Sergey Mikhailovich Dudkin, PhD, Associate Professor of the TVN Department, member of the Subcommittee D1.

10 teams took part in the qualifying stage, of which 8 represented Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, 1 team represented St. Petersburg State University and 1 team represented the Naval Polytechnic Institute of the Russian Academy of Naval Sciences.  The participants of the qualifying stage were welcomed by A.S. Korolev, Director of the Reliable Change Charitable Foundation, V.V. Sergeev, Vice–Rector of SPbPU for Scientific Work, and a representative of FGC UES PJSC - MES  B.V. Gutarchuk of the North-West, V.V. Titkov, Deputy Director of the Institute of Energy and Transport Systems of St. Petersburg State University, the Expert Commission consisted of 6 experts, including a representative of FGC UES PJSC – MES  North-West, 3 SPbPU teachers and 2 EG 3 experts "Diagnostics of insulation systems" of the RNC CIGRE Subcommittee D1. A representative of FGC UES PJSC, MES, was appointed Chairman of the EC  North-West Gutarchuk B.V.

As a result of the qualifying stage, the first place was taken by the "Latest Iteration" team of the Department of Electrical Systems and Networks. The second place was won by the team "Anchor" of the VMPI VUNC of the Navy of the VMA, and the third place was taken by the team "Network Engineers" of the department "Electrical Systems and Networks".

The International Engineering Case-in Championship is a competition in which student teams solve an engineering case based on materials from leading industry companies in ten days and defend their ideas before an expert commission consisting of representatives of industry companies, scientific and educational organizations. The championship includes 85 qualifying stages at the sites of 47 leading technical universities in Russia and the CIS countries. In the finals, which will traditionally be held in Moscow on May 30-31, 2017, the winning teams of the qualifying stages will compete for the title of the best engineering student teams and for the opportunity to complete internships and internships in leading industry companies.
