RusHydro participates in the largest engineering CASE-IN championship

Representatives of the Novosibirsk HPP act as experts of the qualifying stage of the Student League The International CASE-IN Championship, which started today, March 26, 2019, at Novosibirsk State Technical University. 

The hydroelectric plant's engineers will evaluate the work of the participants in the field of "Electric Power Industry". Over the course of eight days, the students had to solve the task of developing a system for monitoring transitional regimes in the ECO of the East to improve the efficiency and reliability of the energy system. Today, the participants present their finished projects to the jury. 

The CASE-IN Championship – a team competition to solve engineering cases dedicated to real production problems and developed based on materials from industry enterprises. More than 4,000 representatives of 56 universities from the regions of Russia and the CIS countries take part in the event annually. The works are evaluated by representatives of leading companies in the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes, scientific and educational institutions, and government authorities. The Student League in the field of "Electric Power Industry" has been held since 2015. 

For the third year now, RusHydro has been supporting the largest engineering competition in Russia and the CIS countries. In the next qualifying rounds, in April, the Company's representatives, among the experts, will evaluate the work of the participants of the League of Young Specialists at the National Research University of the Russian Academy of Energy on digital transformation, and then at the Volga branch of the National Research University of the Russian Academy of Energy and the Sayano-Shushensk branch of the Siberian Federal University on the development of a system for monitoring transitional regimes of the UES of Russia. 

RusHydro joined the CASE-IN project in 2017. For three years now, with the support of the company, the Volga branch of the Moscow Power Engineering University and the Sayano-Shushensk branch of the Siberian Federal University have been hosting the qualifying stages of the Championship. In 2017, the SIBFU team won the bronze medal in the final of the CASE-IN in Moscow. In 2018, the RusHydro team, which won the League of Young Specialists of the Championship, developed a project for the technological development of the Russian fuel and energy complex, which was then presented to the leadership of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation as part of the Youth Day of the international forum "Russian Energy Week". 

Support for educational projects and initiatives is an important area of RusHydro's Concept of Advanced Human Resource Development "From New School to Workplace." It is aimed at the targeted development of key competencies of future hydropower specialists from an early school age, training students in energy specialties, taking into account the requirements of PJSC RusHydro, and creating the necessary conditions for the effective work of young employees.
