Altai SGK power engineers became experts at the CASE-IN championship

The power engineers of the Siberian Generating Company acted as members of the expert jury at the qualifying stage of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". Three representatives of Altai enterprises of the energy holding were among the experts who chose the best team in the field of "Electric Power Industry".

The next stage The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" it was held in Barnaul for the first time on the basis of Altai State Technical University. Nine teams took part in it.

The jury included representatives of the region's energy companies, industry scientific and educational organizations, including Alexey Makarov, Chief Engineer Barnaul CHPP-3 SGK and Elena Maksimova, manager of the regional office of corporate controlling. Headed the commission Maxim Parshukov, Acting Chief Engineer, Head of the Operations Department Altai branch of SGK.

- This championship provides an opportunity to touch the industry by solving engineering cases that are close to the conditions of real production. Of course, you will not experience the stress that station engineers endure when they encounter difficulties and solve them in the shortest possible time. But perhaps this will allow you to find solutions that experienced power engineers could not see. We hope that participating in this championship will allow you to once again establish yourself in the right choice of profession., - he said in his welcoming speech Maxim Parshukov. - SGK is always ready to welcome the best of you at its enterprises, the geography of which is expanding every year. Moreover, not only on a regional scale. Since this year, SGK has been the largest energy holding company in Siberia. We can achieve such success only by having qualified personnel both in production and in management.

The participating teams presented to the expert jury their own solution to the case assignment. The students had to develop and present a power supply project for the plant under construction Yamal-LNG - enterprises for the extraction, liquefaction and supply of natural gas on the Yamal Peninsula. The plant is just being put into operation and the problems of its power supply are urgent.

Among the options offered by the students to solve the problems of power supply to the new plant were both traditional options and those containing innovations. Future engineers took full responsibility for the development of technical solutions and calculations. However, according to the jury, the best team to solve the problem was the Switch team consisting of 1st and 2nd year undergraduates from the Polytechnic Faculty of Energy Dmitry Barsukov, Alexander Chernov, Ilya Borisov, Ivan Kazimov. The students received diplomas and prizes from the organizers of the CASE-IN championship – The Reliable Change Charitable Foundation, as well as memorable gifts from the Siberian Generating Company. But their main reward will be their participation in the finals of the international engineering Championship, which will be held in Moscow at the end of May.

- The level of work, of course, varies somewhat depending on the course in which the students study. But the fact that young people have the desire to solve such serious tasks and a serious approach gives hope that production will not be left without personnel., he says Alexey Makarov, chief engineer of Barnaul CHPP-3 SGK. – The main thing for them now is not to stop there and go, for example, to work at a real company, gain practical experience.
