OGK-2 specialists presented a technological project in the final CASE‑IN

The OGK-2 team successfully competed in the finals of the Special League "Energy" of the International Engineering CASE‑IN Championship.

The Gas Tech Squad team consists of Semyon Grigoriev, a leading specialist in the department of technical re-equipment and reconstruction of the executive apparatus; Amar-Bek Soslaev, an engineer for relay protection and automation at the Grozny Thermal Power Plant; Dinara Fazylova, a leading engineer at the chemical section of the Grozny TPP gas turbine workshop; Mikhail Gordeev, an electronic engineer at the Novocherkassk Thermal automation and measurement workshop GRES.

Young specialists presented the project "Digital assistant for predictive diagnostics of network pumps of thermal power plants". The development was highly appreciated by the expert jury and the participants of the championship. OGK-2 power engineers received a special "Technological Breakthrough" award for an outstanding solution with high potential for practical implementation.

"The main task of the assistant is to switch from reactive to predictive maintenance, which will increase the reliability of heat supply,— said team captain Semyon Grigoriev. — The system collects and processes data, generates analytics and tasks for repair services, developing solutions based on the archive. Now the accuracy of readings is already 82%, after two months of training it will increase to 94%. The implementation will help reduce accidents and reduce annual operating costs."

The project can be scaled to thermal power plants with similar equipment, as well as to related technological processes.
