Master's students of the System Operator from UrFU reached the final of the "CASE-IN" championship

Vyacheslav Luzhetsky and Mikhail Senyuk, undergraduates of the Ural Federal University named after the First President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin, who are studying under a specialized training program commissioned by JSC SO UES, as part of the ABC team reached the finals of the Electric Power Engineering field of the Student League of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship.

For the fourth year in a row, the system operator has been a strategic partner of the Electric Power Industry branch of the CASE-IN Student League. Based on the materials and with the participation of specialists from JSC SO UES, a case study of the Electric Power Industry area is being developed. In addition, representatives of the System Operator are members of the expert commission for the qualifying stages and finals of the championship, assess the level of training of future power engineers and select the best students to continue their studies in specialized training programs commissioned by JSC SO UES at partner universities.

In his welcoming speech to the participants of the qualifying stage in UrFU, the Advisor to the Director of JSC "WITH UES" Peter Erokhin noted: "The main goal for you is not just to enter the finals, but to become sought–after and successful professionals. You gain a lot during the championship. First, learn to quickly find the information you need and use it. Secondly, learn how to communicate and properly assign roles in a team. Thirdly, you learn external communication: you master the techniques of presenting complex technical projects in an accessible language and convincing yourself of the correctness of your decision. Another important competence that you learn here is the ability to tolerate loss and analyze your mistakes in order to win in the future."

During the competition, the participants presented a solution to the engineering case "Energy at the Edge of the Earth" on the theme of the Arctic Development championship: they developed a project for external power supply to the Yamal-LNG plant located in the village of Sabetta in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and intended for processing natural gas extracted on the Yamal Peninsula and shipping liquefied petroleum gas through the port to tankers. natural gas.

The decisions of the participants were evaluated by an expert commission, which included Peter Erokhin, Adviser to the Director of SO UES JSC (Chairman of the commission), Deputy Head of the Long-term Development Service of the Ural Unified Dispatching Management of the Ural Energy System Branch Pavel Nikolaev and Chief Specialist of the JSC Branch "WITH UES" Regional Dispatching Department of the Power Systems of the Sverdlovsk and Kurgan Regions (Sverdlovsk RDU) Anna Dmitrieva. The decision of the ABC team was recognized as the best.

The special prize of JSC SO UES was also awarded to the "Reactive Character" team, whose members − Ivan Belousov, Valeria Dubailova, Vyacheslav Melnikov, Denis Snegirev – are trained in the additional educational program "Operational dispatch management of electric power systems" commissioned by the System Operator.

"This is the third time I have participated in the championship, and this is an opportunity for me to concentrate all my knowledge and apply it to solving a real practical problem. This year's case is related to Russia's promising activities in the Arctic, so the task was large-scale, and it was very interesting to work on it.", − said a member of the finalist team Vyacheslav Luzhetsky.

In May 2018, the ABC team will go to the final of the "CASE-IN" in Moscow, where they will compete for the title of champion of the Student League in the field of "Electric Power Industry".
