ha visto una partecipazione sempre crescente coinvolgendo complessivamente,<br />
nelle otto edizioni sinora svolte, oltre 19.000 persone, per un totale di<br />
circa 6.500 proposte.<br />
Tra i 1.011 progetti presentati nell’edizione 2011, di cui solo 15 giunti in finale<br />
e valutati da una commissione esaminatrice internazionale, uno dei Premi Innovazione<br />
2011 è stato assegnato ad Ansaldo Energia.<br />
Il premio del “Brevetto dell’Anno Gruppo Finmeccanica” è infatti andato ad Ansaldo<br />
Energia per “Ventilated rotor of high power turbogenerator for production<br />
of electricity”. Si tratta di un sistema di raffreddamento a fluido gassoso, generalmente<br />
aria o idrogeno, del rotore di turbo generatore ad alta potenza per<br />
la produzione di elettricità. Brevettato in Europa e negli Stati Uniti, provato in<br />
numerose applicazioni, consente di portare l’efficienza del generatore a livelli<br />
di eccellenza aumentando significativamente la proposta di valore e dunque<br />
la competitività del prodotto di Ansaldo Energia.<br />
A consegnare il premio il Ministro dell’Innovazione, Università e Ricerca Francesco<br />
Profumo a Vincenzo Tartaglione, responsabile Piattaforma Alternatori<br />
OEM all’interno della Funzione Innovazione e Sviluppo Prodotti.<br />
The Finmeccanica Innovation Award, now in its eighth year, was held on Friday<br />
May 11, 2012. The Innovation Award offers visibility and recognition to all Group<br />
employees who propose solutions that translate into concrete industrial applications<br />
and improve company performance. Over the years the Award has produced<br />
tangible, measurable results. The proposals presented have been transformed<br />
into effective new applications, used in the development of successful<br />
products and processes. An ever increasing number of people take part in the<br />
initiative, totaling over 19,000 in the eight events organised to date, who have<br />
presented 6,500 proposals.<br />
Among the 1,011 projects presented in the 2011 edition, of which only 15 reached<br />
the final and were assessed by an international examining panel, one of the 2011<br />
Innovation Awards was assigned to Ansaldo Energia.<br />
The “Finmeccanica Group Patent of the Year” award went to Ansaldo Energia<br />
for “Ventilated rotor of high power turbogenerator for production of electricity”,<br />
a cooling system based on a gaseous fluid, usually air or hydrogen, for high<br />
power turbo generator rotors used in electricity generation. Patented in Europe<br />
and the US and tested in numerous applications, it increases the efficiency of<br />
the generator to excellent levels and so significantly increases the value and<br />
therefore the competitiveness of Ansaldo Energia products.<br />
The award was presented by the Italian Minister of Education, Universities and<br />
Research Francesco Profumo to Vincenzo Tartaglione, responsible for the Product<br />
Innovation and Development Function’s OEM alternator platform.
