SibFU students solved the "Crown Category" case creatively

Representatives of the Krasnoyarsk branch of the Siberian Generating Company - Evgeny Eroshevich, Head of the Department for the Development of Energy Marketing Activities, and Nikolai Rozhenko, Head of the Electrical Engineering Service, joined the expert commission for the qualifying round of the League for the Electric Power Industry of the Case-in International Engineering Championship. The event was held at the Siberian Federal University.

The strongest students of the Faculty of Energy of the Polytechnic Institute of Siberian Federal University, united in the teams "LN", "Impulse", "People in hard hats" and "Ebony Daddies", competed in solving the "Crown Discharge" case. They analyzed the annual operating mode of power transmission lines of one of the real energy enterprises and suggested ways that could maximize the reduction of corona losses, a discharge that occurs with a pronounced heterogeneity of the electric field (most often due to bad weather) at minimal financial cost. There was no unambiguously correct option - the technical literacy of the participants, the logic of their thinking, as well as the persuasiveness of the presentation were evaluated.

The 5th year team of the SFU Polytechnic Institute "Impulse" won, consolidating the success of the previous year. She will go to the finals of the Case-in championship, which will be held in Moscow and will host students and postgraduates of energy, mining, and petroleum universities, as well as the League of Working Specialties from Russia, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan. The second place was awarded to the LN team, the third to the People in Hard Hats.

"The task that we have been solving has been relevant in the electric power industry for many years, - said the captain of the Men in Hard Hats team, third-year student Yulia Pitko, who, according to SGC experts, proved herself to be one of the most competent participants in the qualifying round. - Many studies have been conducted on the topic of "Corona discharge", but none of them makes it possible to predict corona losses on high-voltage lines by one hundred percent and choose the only economically correct way to reduce losses. The fact that we joined in the search for a solution to the problem during the student case competitions is a useful experience."  

According to Nikolai Rozhenko, an expert from SGK, the participants of the regional stage of the large-scale competition as a whole successfully completed the task and showed a high level of knowledge.: "Youth is talented in principle, but here you can also see a serious approach, a deep study of the material. The students proposed thoughtful, non-standard solutions that are of real interest to the electric power industry. I would like more of these guys to come to work at the enterprises of the Siberian Generating Company."  

The Case-in International Engineering Championship is an educational project implemented under the auspices of the Government of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Energy of Russia and aimed at identifying and supporting talented students - future specialists in the most important sectors of the economy.
