Undergraduates of Ivanovo State Power Engineering University reached the final of the CASE-IN championship

Ivanovo State Power Engineering University (IGEU) hosted the regional qualifying stage of the VI International Engineering Case Solving Championship in the field of "Electric Power Engineering" of the Student League.

For the fourth year in a row, the system operator has been a strategic partner of the Electric Power Industry direction 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.

The director addressed the participants of the qualifying stage in Ivanovo with welcoming words Representative offices of JSC SO UES in the Ivanovo region Yuri Kandalov, Vice-rector of IGEU for Scientific Work Vladimir Tyutikov, Head of the Department of Research for Students and Talented Youth at IGEU Arkady Makarov. The speakers noted that the CASE-IN championship is a unique practice-oriented educational project that encourages students to study their chosen specialty more deeply, allows them to apply the knowledge gained during their studies at the university to solve real production problems, and helps them gain skills in working as a single team.

Seven teams took part in the qualifying stage of the IGEU championship, which presented a solution to the engineering case "Energy at the Edge of the Earth" on the theme of the Arctic Development championship. The participants 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 designed for processing natural gas extracted on the Yamal Peninsula and shipping liquefied natural gas through the port to tankers.

The winner of the qualifying round of the championship was the Impulse team, consisting of 2nd-year undergraduates from IGEU Nikita Koftaev, Artyom Nazarov and By Andrey Sakharov, students enrolled in a specialized System Operator program. The second and third places were taken by the teams "Resistance is useless" and "Excitation winding", which included first-year undergraduates of the System Operator Alexander Sidorov, Nikolai Kuznetsov, Ksenia Molchagina and Vitaly Naumov.

The Impulse team is participating in the qualifying stages of the IGEU Engineering Case solving championship for the third time: twice the guys took second place and finally became winners. At the end of May 2018, Impulse will take part in the final of the student league in the field of "Electric Power Engineering" of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship in Moscow, where it will compete for the title of champion, as well as for the opportunity to participate in the Interregional Summer Educational Forum "Energy of Youth".

The CASE-IN International Engineering Championship is the only federal case championship in the field of fuel and energy and mineral resources complexes, during which students of leading technical universities in Russia and neighboring countries solve practical problems based on real production situations. This year, more than 4,500 students from 52 universities are taking part in solving engineering cases in six industry areas: electric power, geological exploration, mining, metallurgy, oil and gas, and petrochemistry.
