Students of the System Operator won the qualifying stage of the "CASE-IN" championship

Novocherkassk hosted the qualifying round of the International Engineering Case Solving Championship "CASE-IN" student League in the field of "Electric Power Industry". The winner was the team of the Platov South Russian State Polytechnic University (NPI) (YURGPU), consisting of three undergraduates studying under a specialized training program for a System operator, and a bachelor's student participating in the career guidance program of JSC SO UES. All students are trainee specialists of the personnel reserve group of the Branch of JSC SO UES ODE to the South.

System Operator For the fourth year in a row, he 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.

To participate in the qualifying round of the CASE-IN championship from among students of the power engineering and electromechanical faculties YURGPU (NPI) Eight teams were formed. Five of them included undergraduates of the University studying under the specialized training program of JSC SO UES, and bachelors participating in the career guidance program of the System Operator. During the competition, the teams presented a solution to the engineering case "Energy at the edge of the Earth" on the theme of the Arctic Development championship. Future power engineers have 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.

The results of the team performances were evaluated by an expert commission, which included teachers of the YURSPU (NPI), representatives of branches of JSC SO UES ODE to the South and Rostov RDU, branch of IDGC of the South PJSC – Rostovenergo, branch FGC UES PJSC – Rostov PMES. The decision of the "Damage Hunters" team, which included undergraduates from the YURSPU (NPI), was recognized as the best. Alexander Teterin, Olga Lgova, Pavel Polonyankin and a 4th year student Alexey Tykvinsky.

In the final, which will be held in Moscow on May 30-31, 2018, the winning teams of the qualifying stages will compete for the title of the best engineering student teams and will have the opportunity to complete internships and internships in leading industry companies. The winners of the Electric Power Industry League will take part in the annual summer educational forum "Energy of Youth".

International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" − the federal case championship, during which students of leading technical universities in Russia and neighboring countries solve engineering cases - practical tasks based on real production situations in companies of fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes. In 2018, more than 4,500 students from 52 universities are competing in six industry areas: electric power, geological exploration, mining, metallurgy, oil and gas, and petrochemistry.

One of the objectives of the CASE-IN is to enable students to join the professional community, establish contacts with future employers, and acquire and improve self—presentation and public speaking skills. In turn, thanks to the championship, the organizers and experts have the opportunity to identify the most gifted and promising students for further work at industry enterprises already at the training stage.
