The Saratov Polytechnic University team took part in the final of the International Engineering Championship

The LUMOS team Institute of Electric Power Engineering and Transport Systems of Gagarin State Technical University. as the winner of the qualifying stage, she participated in the final The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", held in Moscow on May 30-31, 2018. Our team took the first place in its subgroup and entered the top ten overall.

During the first day of the finals, teams of future engineers from 55 universities defended case solutions in six areas to experts: geological exploration, mining, metallurgy, oil and gas, petrochemistry and electric power industry. The largest number of teams was in the direction of "Electric power Industry" - 35. Our students were performing there. Future power engineers had to explore the prospects for the development of the electric grid FGC UES PJSC on the territory of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug – the Yamalo-Nenets support Zone of the Russian Arctic; to draw conclusions about the possibility of increasing the capacity of the electric grid, taking into account the influence of extremely low temperatures on the permissible loads of transmission lines and substation equipment; to assess the impact of extremely low temperatures as a measure to optimize power grid construction and as a measure to ensure the reliability of the electric grid in the region for the period up to 2025 The case was developed based on materials and with the participation of specialists from FGC UES PJSC.

The consultant of the LUMOS team is Dr. Sergey Stepanov.

- The Career Day was particularly memorable: we were able to leave our resumes at the representative offices of the companies we were interested in for possible employment.  The opportunity to compete with students from the best technical universities in the country gave me an idea of my level of training in the field of electric power engineering, he says Natalia Krasnova, 2nd year graduate student, member of the LUMOS team.

- It was nice to feel like a part of the engineering community and learn about the pressing issues in the industry.. - shares his impressions Sergey Maksimov, 4th year student, participant of the final "Case in" from SSTU.
