A high school student from Yaroslavl presented ideas of the energy of the future in Tyumen

Bogdan Sergeev, a student of school No. 33, presented his proposals on electricity supply to Russian cities in 2030 at the final of the School League VII The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" at Tyumen Industrial University.

85 schoolchildren from the Altai, Perm and Stavropol Territories, the Republic of Bashkortostan, Amur, Kemerovo, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Chelyabinsk, Sverdlovsk, Tyumen, Samara, Nizhny Novgorod, Volgograd, Yaroslavl, Moscow and Leningrad regions took part in the final of the CASE-IN School League in Tyumen.

— The very fact of participation in the All–Russian competition is an important stage in the formation of a Russian citizen who not only sees the problems of his territory, but is also able to offer his own solutions. Addressing the participants of the final, the acting rector of the university said Veronika Yefremova.

The finalists presented at the competition ideas for electricity supply to specific Russian cities in 2030 under hypothetical conditions for the cessation of operation of nuclear and thermal power plants.
The teams submitted their projects to the expert commission consisting of TIU teachers, representatives of the Tyumen Distribution Networks branch of Tyumenenergo JSC, and the Tyumen City Electric Networks branch of SUENCO PJSC.

The experts evaluated the finalists' decisions based on the following parameters: technology, organization, innovation, and presentation.

The champion of the School league "CASE-IN" was the team from Kemerovo "Electronic deer". The silver medalist was the Banya team, representing three cities at once — Yekaterinburg, Yaroslavl and Moscow.

— My love for energy pushed me to participate in the CASE-IN championship. I hope it will become my life's work. I am happy with the performance of our team, but there is always something to strive for. Next year we plan to participate in the Student League "CASE-IN", — said the captain of the team from Yaroslavl Bogdan Sergeev.

The silver medalists of the School League have developed a model for the development of the future electricity supply in the cities of Sakhalin Island. They proposed the systematic use of wind energy, taking into account the implementation of major investment projects currently under consideration for the construction of the Selikhino-Nysh bridge over the Nevelsky Strait and the laying of cable power supply lines from the mainland of the country, and later to the island of Hokkaido.

The high school students supplemented their research with an analysis of the cost of the project based on analogues implemented in the USA, China and the countries of the European Union.

It should be noted that the teams of champions and winners of the "CASE-IN" School League received significant awards — additional points for admission to Tyumen Industrial University and the National Research University "MEI" (Moscow), vouchers to the Artek Sports Center and valuable prizes.
