As part of the Priority 2030 program, the SPbPU Center for Competency Assessment and Development team held a series of events at Novosibirsk State Technical University (NSTU) and Novosibirsk State University of Economics and Management (NSUEM). The Polytechnic University's visit was part of a project to engage students from partner universities in professional and personal development.

"Realizing the potential of each student, developing their talents, and engaging them in the process of conscious self-improvement is an important task set for universities by the President of the Russian Federation," noted Lyudmila Pankova, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs at SPbPU. "That's why its implementation is given special attention within the framework of the Polytechnic University's Educational Policy."

The Polytechnic University Competence Center Days at NSTU were part of events celebrating the 35th anniversary of the university's Faculty of Humanities. At the plenary session of the anniversary conference, "Socio-Humanities in an Engineering University: Challenges and Prospects," Elena Zima, Director of the SPbPU Competence Center, discussed the development prospects of the "Competence Centers" and "Centers of New Opportunities" projects.

As part of the student track, the Polytechnic University Central Committee ambassadors held an information session where NSTU students learned more about the presidential platform "Russia – Land of Opportunity" and the "Competence Centers" project. They also participated in an engaging quiz and tried their hand at the pantomime "Show Your Universal Competence." The student track culminated in the Soft Skills Tournament, where student teams honed their soft skills by playing board games and developing and pitching business ideas in a startup battle. Tournament participants received certificates and Polytechnic University merchandise, while the winners received diplomas and valuable prizes.

"It's incredibly important when students themselves talk about professional development projects like 'Competence Centers,'" Elena Zima emphasized. "I believe our ambassadors succeeded in inspiring the event participants with the idea of self-development, the starting point of which was completing the diagnostics on the presidential platform 'Russia – Land of Opportunity.'"

All NSTU students who participated in the Polytechnic University Competence Center Days were ceremoniously presented with their first universal competency certificates.

Then, NSUEM took up the baton. A large-scale interuniversity tournament was held there: 12 teams from six Novosibirsk universities competed for the title of best in the skills of the future. In the final, students pitched their startups to a jury consisting of representatives of Sovcombank and the heads of competence centers from participating Novosibirsk universities. All students received commemorative prizes, and the winners received board games, diplomas from Polytechnic University, and Sovcombank merchandise.

The Polytechnic University and NSUEM Competence Center Day program also included a student session, "Territory of Opportunities," where ambassadors and employers discussed how joint projects can transform the student environment and help them confidently build a career.

The day concluded with an expert session, "Best University Practices for Developing Universal Competencies in Students." The heads of SPbPU Competency Centers and Novosibirsk universities, representatives of the Novosibirsk Region Ministry of Education and the Novosibirsk Employment Center, and Artur Kuchaev, head of the Competency Centers project for the presidential platform "Russia – Land of Opportunity," discussed best practices for developing universal competencies and the prospects for implementing the "Centers of New Opportunities" project.

According to Artur Kuchaev, the creation of opportunity centers is a logical continuation and strategic development of the project, taking it to a new stage: "These centers are intended to become a hub for projects and initiatives within the presidential platform among students, providing students with comprehensive support, expert consultations, and assistance in unlocking their potential through access to a wide range of opportunities."

The events demonstrated that soft skills are bringing together universities, students, and employers, and that the geography of competence centers is expanding, turning each trip into a platform for new ideas and partnerships.

A team from the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University's Civil Engineering Institute, led by Viktor Elistratov, a professor at the Higher School of Hydraulic and Power Engineering, conducted the first full-scale dynamic studies of a 120 kW wind turbine at the Zapadno-Khosedayu oil field in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, north of the Arctic Circle.

The field tests were carried out by Ivan Rigel, a postgraduate student at the Institute of Scientific Research and Development and a leading engineer at the Scientific and Educational Center for Renewable Energy and Installations Based on Them, with the support of VTR Engineering, using a grant from the Russian Science Foundation.

The studies were conducted using a specialized measuring system for monitoring dynamic loads and vibrations of building structures. This system included a digital accelerometer (at the top of the tower), a strain gauge station with four external strain gauge half-bridges (at the base of the tower), and a controller for recording the results in computer memory. To measure the temperature at depth in the permafrost, a temperature measurement system was lowered into a borehole near the pile cap. This system utilized high-precision temperature sensors and an Arduino Uno controller. The results were synchronized to UTC with the wind turbine's SCADA system using a GPS module.

Using the obtained data, we measured the acceleration of the tower's top and dynamic stresses at the tower's base over time under various wind turbine operating conditions. Furthermore, an important result of the study was the temperature distribution at the base and the depth of frozen ground. The frequencies and amplitudes of the predominant dynamic responses of the supporting structural system were identified depending on the operating conditions.

The obtained vibration characteristics of the wind turbine supporting structures, taking into account the influence of its operating modes, wind characteristics and the flexibility of the permafrost base, were used to validate the computational methods of aeroservoelastic and thermophysical modeling used for the dynamic calculation of supporting structures.

The design and operation of wind turbines in Arctic conditions are complicated by extreme wind loads, permafrost, and other climatic conditions. The dynamic characteristics of wind turbines are crucial and often a determining factor in the design justification of their supporting structures. Critically important for the reliability of calculations is the availability of actual data on operating modes and the correlation between these modes and the dynamic loads acting on wind turbines in Arctic conditions, which can only be obtained through full-scale testing.

This in-kind study of the dynamic characteristics of a wind turbine operating on permafrost in the Arctic was the first in Russia. A postgraduate student also conducted the first actual measurement of the foundation temperature, revealing that the seasonal thaw depth (transition through 0°C) is 2.25 meters. "These data are unique and of particular interest for the operation of wind turbines on permafrost in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, as well as for the development of reliable methods and models for designing and improving the operational reliability of Arctic wind energy facilities," Professor Viktor Elistratov concluded Ivan Rigel's mission.
