Students from the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials, and Transport at SPbPU performed brilliantly at the 3rd All-Russian Student Olympiad "Automation and Informatization of the Fuel and Energy Complex." The team participated in the competition with the support of the IMMiT Directorate and the SPbPU Youth Policy Department.
The event took place in the Tver region at the Zaluchye training and production center. Organized by the Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas, the Olympiad brought together students from various regions of Russia studying automation and process control.
Participants were asked to solve practical engineering problems. These included programming a REGUL R500 virtual programmable logic controller and developing a human-machine interface for a training technology rig. This rig simulates pressure regulation processes similar to those found in oil pumping stations.
Fourth-year students from the Higher School of Automation and Robotics at IMMiT demonstrated outstanding results. Ivan Pavlyuchenko took first place in the "Programming the REGUL Logic Controller" category, demonstrating strong skills in developing control, protection, and regulation algorithms. Pavel Patrin placed second in the "Development of a Human-Machine Interface in MasterSCADA 4D" category. The expert committee recognized his work for its well-designed operator panel, clear process visualization, ease of use, and creative approach.
"The Olympiad's problems are as close as possible to real-life production challenges in the oil and gas industry. Our success in solving them speaks to the high quality of our preparation and demonstrates our readiness to tackle complex engineering cases in industrial automation," said Olympiad winner Ivan Pavlyuchenko.
