The international engineering championship "CASE-IN" was held in Barnaul

The qualifying stage of the VII season of the Student League The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" It was held on April 19 with the support of the Siberian Generating Company on the basis of AltSTU.

Today's students are promising employees of tomorrow's enterprises. Therefore, the Siberian Generating Company grows its staff right from the school bench to the first entry in the workbook: real engineering classes work in sponsored schools, where from the first grade the children are engaged in robotics and learn the basics of engineering science.

Support and assistance in the development of future engineers continue at the university, where students can reveal not only their scientific knowledge, but also apply their leadership and communication skills. An excellent example of such a site is the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". This is the largest competition in Russia and the CIS countries.

The essence of the championship is simple – a team of 3-4 people receives and solves an engineering case in advance – a practical task dedicated to a real production problem, which is developed based on the experience and materials of industry enterprises. In our case, in the field of "Electric power industry". The regional stage on this topic was held in Barnaul on April 19.

Case 2019 "Development of the transition monitoring system of the Unified Energy System of the East"in short, what should the participants have done:

• First of all, to characterize the current monitoring system of the Unified Energy System of Russia.
• To indicate the directions of development of such a monitoring system for the ECO of the East and to come up with requirements for the registrars of the monitoring itself, and on their basis, for the dispatch control system.
• To formulate and justify a schedule for the installation of new monitoring system recorders in the ECO of the East for the period up to 2025, taking into account the energy system of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
• To propose options for the application of a transient monitoring system to solve the problems of improving the energy efficiency of the functioning of the ECO of the East.
• To give a calculation of the magnitude of the economic effect, etc.

From the moment the case was received, the teams had only 10 days to prepare for the competition, in addition to the oral defense, it was necessary to prepare a visual presentation. There are no restrictions on finding information for a solution, but the guys admit that they spent most of the preparation not on the Internet, but in the library, "so that it would be accurately stored in the subcortex."

The teams presented their decision to an expert commission with the participation of representatives of government authorities, leading companies, universities and industry research and educational centers. The Altai branch of SGK was represented by Maxim Parshukov, Deputy Director for Technical Policy, Vasily Tonkikh, Deputy Director for Production Assurance, and Elena Maksimova, Manager of the regional Corporate Controlling Department.

The works were evaluated according to strict criteria:

• technical and economic components of the solution,
• originality and novelty of the solution (or, as it is fashionable to say, innovation),
• Energy efficiency is the use of technologies in the solution that allow efficient energy and resource conservation in the organization of technological processes.
• presentation and performance,
• answers to experts' questions.

The 50 Hertz team consisting of Nikita Taranin, Ekaterina Rassokhina and Ilya Pavlichenko became the best in all these aspects. Now the guys, along with teams from 56 more universities in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, and Tajikistan, will represent the region at the federal stage of the competition from May 30 to 31 in Moscow. The winners will be able to complete internships in leading companies of the Russian fuel and energy complex with the possibility of further employment.
