The participants of the Electric Power Industry field, depending on the university, solve one of two engineering cases.

The first case of the Electric Power Industry area is devoted to the development of a system for monitoring transitional regimes of the UES of Russia. The case was developed based on the materials and with the participation of specialists from JSC SO UES, a strategic partner in the Electric Power industry.

The second case of the Electric Power Industry area was developed with the participation of FGC UES PJSC and is devoted to diagnostic systems for power transformers and power transmission lines.

The participants of the League of Young Professionals, in accordance with the task of their case, will design the digital integration of large–scale energy and infrastructure projects in the Far East into a macro-regional system in the Asia-Pacific region.

For the second year in a row, a special award dedicated to energy efficiency and energy conservation was established within the framework of the CASE-IN championship − "The best solution aimed at energy conservation". On the initiative of the title partner of "CASE-IN" Transneftenergo companies The case study of each area includes a task to assess the impact of the proposed solution on the energy efficiency of the main technological process and to calculate the amount of savings achieved.

The championship will be held with the support of leading companies of the Fuel and energy complex and MSK, including JSC SO UES, PJSC Tatneft, OOO Transneftenergo, PJSC AK ALROSA, PJSC SIBUR Holding, PJSC FGC UES, JSC MHC EuroChem, JSC Rosgeologiya, LLCMycromine Rus, NLMK PJSC, United Company RUSAL, Vostochnaya Mining Company LLC, Siberian Anthracite JSC, EvrazHolding LLC, Russian Copper Company JSC, IBM Montan LLC, RusHydro PJSC, Siberian Generating Company LLC, Prosoft-Systems LLC, ROSATOM State Corporation, Raspadskaya Coal Company LLC, and others.
