Young specialists of Zabaikalsky RDU have developed a strategy for the development of the energy system using AI

A team of young specialists from the System Operator's Branch Zabaikalsky RD She won the qualifying stage of the Student League of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, held at the Zabaykalsky State University.

Headed by the dispatcher of the operational dispatch service, Ivan Kuchmenko, the Tri EF Plus EN team, consisting of Diana Pavlova, a leading specialist in the electrical modes service, Elizaveta Sakharova, a leading specialist in the relay protection and automation service, and Gertrude Pinchukova, a Category 2 intern in the Information Infrastructure Systems Service, successfully presented and defended a case solution on the topic "Development of a regional energy system based on technologies of the future".

"This is not the first time I have participated in a CASE-IN. The case about the development of the regional energy system turned out to be very "lively" and as close to reality as possible. Such practical cases are especially valuable because they allow us to put knowledge into practice and work with relevant technologies," he noted. Ivan Kuchmenko.

The development of mining and metallurgical plants leads to an increase in the load of energy consumption in the Trans-Baikal Territory, which is why young specialists have identified the need to introduce new capacities in addition to those already planned. The decision was based on options focused on the medium, long-term and strategic perspective.

The feature of the presented solution is not only its relevance, but also its novelty. For example, Gertrude Pinchukova, the team's IT specialist, brought innovation to the winning formula. An important addition to traditional methods of developing the energy system was the ability to use artificial intelligence and satellite communications to manage demand and prevent accidents.

In the process of working out the original solution, the Zabaikalsky RDU team developed not only teamwork skills, but also improved their professional competencies.

"This is my first experience of participating in the CASE-IN championship in the field of energy. Before that, my battleground was IT hackathons, so diving into the electric power industry with the development of solutions for the Trans-Baikal Territory became a real challenge for me. It was exciting being a participant, not an observer, but I gained new knowledge and looked at the application of future technologies from a completely new angle," she shared her impressions. Gertrude Pinchukova.

The CASE-IN Championship is supported by the Russia – Land of Opportunity platform, the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, as well as major industry companies. The system operator has been a strategic partner of the "Electric Power Industry" branch of the CASE-IN championship since its organization. The specialists of the System Operator participate in the development of assignments, and also serve on expert commissions.
