Specialists of JSC "Network Company" at the qualifying stage of "CASE-IN" at KGEU

The qualifying round of the largest practice-oriented competition in Russia and the CIS countries for solving engineering cases (practical tasks) took place at Kazan State Energy University.

It is worth noting that the Championship is differentiated in several areas: the school league, the league of working specialties, the student league, the league of young professionals.

The Student League of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" is a competition consisting of full—time and part-time qualifying stages among students, undergraduates and postgraduates of higher educational institutions (up to 25 years old), as well as the final stage, which takes place in Moscow. As part of the qualifying stages, teams (3-4 people) solve an engineering case dedicated to the actual problems of a real enterprise. This year's Championship is united by the common theme "Arctic Development".

"We expect that involving the youth of the fuel and energy complex in solving problems in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation will yield concrete practical results: new development ideas, nature—saving technologies for developing and transporting resources, new forms of cooperation and attracting investments," Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said in his welcoming speech to the participants of the championship.

The Expert Council in the Electric Power industry area included three representatives of Grid Company OJSC: Yuri Galitsky, Head of the Production and Technical Department, Evgeny Evgeniev, Head of the Device Parameters Calculation Sector of the Central Control System Relay Protection and Automation Service, Ivan Glukhov, engineer of the distribution network service.

13 KGEU teams presented their works to the expert commission. As told by the members of the DC IM team. Tesla, which included 1st-year graduate students of the Institute of Electric Power Engineering and Electronics of the Department of Power Supply of Industrial Enterprises, is very responsible to speak before the Expert Council, which includes respected professionals in the scientific and industrial field. "This is a chance to bring our ideas, our vision and problem solving to those whose opinion is incredibly important to us", — noted students.

"I can confirm that this is not an ordinary event and the participants will not only gain experience and knowledge, but will also have the opportunity to realize themselves in the future., — confirmed Evgeny Evgeniev, — This is a kind of springboard for further cooperation. Our company actively cooperates with KGEU and I can confidently say that we consider the participants as possible employees. I would like to note the rather high level of today's presentations: this year the task of the case is more realistic, so all the solutions that are called "firmly grounded" are real with an idea for the future.".

Following the results of the Championship, Grid Company experts awarded diplomas and gifts to 4th year students of the IEE: Almaz Safin (Department of Relay Protection and Automation of Electric Power Systems), Lyubov Zemskova (Electric Power Systems and Networks), Evgeny Evdokimov (Power Supply to Industrial Enterprises), Aidar Khasanshin (Relay Protection and Automation of Electric Power Systems automation of electric power systems").
