Teams from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University took part in the CASE-IN qualifying round in the Thermal Power Engineering category for the first time. The event was held at the St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design.
Three teams, which included students from the Higher School of Nuclear and Thermal Energy and the Higher School of Engineering and Economics, under the guidance of their curator, Associate Professor of HSE Olga Novikova, gained valuable experience in participating in a competition on a third-party platform. Following the results of the qualifying round, the team “4 Gigacalories” reached the final. The captain is Mark Mironchuk, the team members are Egor Vasiliev, Abdulmin Turapov and Nikita Kondrashev (HSE).
The experts noted the high quality of the technical solutions presented by the team, as well as the deep economic development of the projects. All three SPbPU teams demonstrated an original approach to providing heat to the consumer without using natural gas, taking into account the potential of regional bioenergy resources.
The 4 Gigacalories team presented a project aimed at substantiating a feasible method of heating a consumer using non-gas heat sources, such as wood waste, biogas and heat pump units.
Participation in CASE-IN was an interesting challenge for us. The guys and I immediately decided that we wanted to offer not just a working solution, but a truly relevant and environmentally friendly one. Designing a heating system without gas is a complex but interesting task. We coped with it because we assembled a team of specialists from different fields. I am very pleased that the experts appreciated our case solution. Now the final is ahead. We will work even harder to worthily represent SPbPU, – said the team captain Mark Mironchuk.
Despite the fact that only one team made it to the finals, the jury highly appreciated the creative approach of the QATF team, which included captain Vladislav Shakurov, Angelina Grigorieva, Matvey Savelyev and third-year VIES student Georgy Gunbin.
The Solnyshki team also deserves special attention. Georgy Kondratov (captain) and Zakhara Vasilyeva (both 4th year students, thermal power engineering), Ksenia Krutoguzenko and Svetlana Abeleva (both 3rd year students, IPMEiT) proposed the most energy-efficient solution, including mini-CHP options.
