Almetyevsk students have developed a project to supply electricity to a plant in the Arctic

Almetyevsk Petroleum Institute is once again hosting the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". On March 21, a qualifying stage was held here, the task was to develop a project for the power supply of a plant in the Arctic.

In previous years, only students studying oil and gas engineering competed for a ticket to the finals. This year, future power engineers joined the championship. This time, 11 teams from the oil and gas industry and 8 teams from the energy industry joined the fight for the championship in the qualifying stage of the championship.

Over the past 6 years, the Championship has become an effective platform for increasing the level of competence of students and popularizing engineering specialties. "CASE-IN" is a competition where teams need to solve an engineering case, that is, a practical task tied to a real object, which was prepared by leading industry companies in Russia. 

"Energy at the edge of the earth" was the name of the task for power engineers. There is no ready-made solution and one absolutely correct calculation. The guys had to propose an optimal power supply system for the Yamal-LNG plant located in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. 

10 days are given to solve the case. During this time, it is necessary to develop an electricity supply system taking into account the climatic conditions and the specifics of the territory, evaluate the operating modes of the facility, develop measures to improve the energy efficiency of the entire project, calculate the economic effect and take into account all possible risks. In order to increase the reliability of the power supply, the guys also need to develop parallel operation of the Yamal-LNG energy system with the Unified Energy System of the Russian Federation. 

The winning teams will have to defend their cases in the final of the championship, which will be held from May 30 to 31 in Moscow.
