Rosseti Centre - the managing organization of Rosseti Centre and Volga Region held a competition among members of construction crews-students of secondary specialized vocational education in the framework of the special league of the International Engineering Championship “Case-in” in Belgorod. 72 members of energy crews from 18 regions of the company’s presence took part in the event. Full-time defense was held on the basis of BSTU named after Shukhov.
Welcoming future colleagues, Denis Chernykh, chief specialist of the sector for development and social support of staff of the HR department at Rosseti Centre, noted that the contest was organized as part of summing up the sixth season of student energy crews, and participating in it was a huge experience that would allow the young people to better learn their profession getting to know how to work as a team. “This year, we invited students of more than 60 secondary vocational educational institutions of the country to student crews and were able to maximize their involvement in the main business processes of the company: the tasks of the technical unit and the sale of services. We believe that the main thing in the work of the power engineer is the ability to make thoughtful, balanced decisions and justify them with calculations, which the company’s employees do daily. The championship teaches this practice,” he emphasized.
Director of the Institute of Energy, Information Technology and Control Systems of BSTU named after Shukhov Alexander Belousov reminded the students that they are on the verge of choosing a further professional path: “Events of this nature will help you navigate the ever-increasing wide world of digital technologies and choose the exact vector for applying your abilities.”
7 days before the defense, the students received assignments related to the assessment and development of a set of diagnostics for power transformers and power lines used at power facilities of PJSC Rosseti. Turning to the topic of diagnosis is due to stringent requirements of the legislation to ensure energy security and energy efficiency of electric grid equipment of the Unified National Electric Grid. No less important is the diagnosis in the process of implementing the concept of digital transformation of electric grids. The guys prepared presentations based on the solved cases and defended them before the experts. The work of the participants was evaluated by the heads of Belgorodenergo’s subdivisions and teachers of BSTU named after Shukhov.
According to the chairman of the jury, Deputy Chief Engineer for Production Asset Management and Development of Belgorodenergo Sergey Romanov, the contestants demonstrated good knowledge and ability in the team environment to achieve optimal results. “Everything that the guys got today will be very useful to them in the digital future,” he stressed. The participants themselves also saw a powerful groundwork for the future in the championship, noting that they got a lot of useful information, both in the process of solving the case and during the presentation of their colleagues.
As a result, the winner of the special league of the International Engineering Championship “Case-in” was the team of the student crew of Yarenergo, in Rosseti Centre and Volga Region - Marienergo. Silver medalists are members of the student energy crew of Belgorodenergo (Rosseti Centre) and Kirovenergo (Rosseti Centre and Volga Region). The bronze award was won by the teams of Voronezhenergo (Rosseti Centre) and Kalugaenergo (Rosseti Centre and Volga Region).
The next stage of the special league championship will be held 15 August at Ivanovo State Power Engineering University. Cases here will be decided by members of student crews - students of higher educational institutions of 20 regions of the country.
