Applications: Cooling Paints for Construction;Pollution-Reducing Coatings
Challenge: Cooling Paint
Description: /*A description of the problem in detail, including what efforts to solve it have been

taken in the past and why these efforts were unsuccessful*/
Solar irradiation increases the temperature inside the distribution substation,
especially during hot season. As well known, electric equipment (especially
transformers and cables, then switchers, batteries, electronic devices, etc.)
suffer the temperature, since it reduces performances and duration.
Therefore it would be interesting to paint the roof and external walls of
substations, and in general all premises containing electric equipment (for ex.
“locale quadri” in primary substations), with a coat/paint able to reduce the
heating due to solar rays (i.e. reflecting the solar rays).
Like a secondary request, such paint could have also the ability to keep some
polluting substances.

Constraints /*A list of requirements that the solution, which will be investigated by the Innovation
process, should respect to solve the challenge (separate them into “must have” and

“nice to have”)*/

 Must have: to reflect solar radiation, more than a traditional white paint.
 Must have: to last not less than paints traditionally used for external civil
work.
 Nice to have: to reduce pollution, retaining some polluting substances.
 Nice to have: to be applicable also directly on transformer’s case (that’s
metallic).

Expected Benefits /*A list of benefits that the innovative solution described above would bring*/
 To increase capacity (power) of transformer and cable inside the
premise to be painted.
 To reduce equipment’s fault rate and to extend useful life
 To contribute to reduce global climate change

Key Performance
Indicators (KPI)

/*Which KPIs (or other objective type of index) should be considered while evaluating
the solution’s effectiveness*/
 KPI 1 = reduction of internal temperature of the painted premise
compared to a traditional white paint [° C]
 KPI 2 = absorbed pollutants per painted square meter


Technologies: AI;IoT;Robotics;Computer Vision
Applications: AI for Safety Monitoring;IoT for Real-time Tracking;Robotics for Automated Inspections;Computer Vision for Object Detection
Challenge: Big Umbrella - Safety Net
Description: BACKGROUND
According to GI&N standard on works at height (Policy 62, “Global Infrastructure and
Networks guidelines on works at height”), work at height exposes the operators to the
risk of falling objects (tools, devices and other items). The falling of objects can cause
damages to operators who are improperly located in the underlying vertical projection
area (“impact area”), even if the operator wears correctly the PPE provided for the
activity. The risk of falling objects must be reduced to the minimum level possible,
adopting the necessary technical and management measures in compliance with the
current legislation and standards but also applying general and specific preventive
measures, e.g.:
 activity planning and information about activity risks;
 checking the good condition of elements used;
 signaling the impact area with mobile obstacles;
 no transit or permanence of persons/machinery/vehicles in the impact area
 as far as possible, operators in support on the ground positioned outside the
impact area;
 objects correctly locked before starting their movement;
 objects moving and fixing by use of auxiliary systems with dimensions,
material and resistance suitable for the maximum evaluated effort (weight of
the load, height, etc.);

 as far as possible, use of anchoring systems for equipment and tools at height
connected at anchor points.
Please see figure in “Attachments” as an example on the approach above.
THE CHALLENGE
In spite of the measures summarized above, there is always a residual risk of falling
objects which, if it occurs, may have very severe consequences (e.g., a fatal accident
like in Italy in 2019, 07-C-F-2019). Therefore, attention has also to be paid to
protective measures in such cases.
The main scope of this challenge is to identify, develop and validate effective and
innovative solutions which should protect from objects falling from height the
operators being accidentally within the falling impact area, or at least reduce to a
minimum the consequences from an impact, if any, for the affected operator.

Solution Requirements &
constrains

/*A list of constrains for the solution proposal together with the minimum
requirements it should respect (separate them into “must have” and “nice to have”)*/
In general, the solution needs to satisfy the following requirements:
 effectiveness of reducing the consequences from objects falling from height
(must have);
 be transportable by operators and company fleet (must have);
 be easy to be deployed and installed (must have);
 be robust, to be used in harsh working environment (must have);
 non-interference with normal working conditions nor creation of other/further
risk situations (must have);
 non-interference with current equipment nor reduction of their functionality
(must have);
 compatibility with major kind of work to be executed, both electrical and non-
electrical (must have);
 be cost effective (must have);
 require minimum maintenance (must have);
 be easy to implement - implementation time (must have);
 not be dangerous/harmful for the employee (must have);
 not be dangerous for the environment (must have);
 have different sizes with regard to weight and any other specificity of involved
objects (nice to have);
 be possible of being modified/adapted with regard to weight and any other
specificity of involved objects (nice to have);
 be flexible to use in different work scenarios (nice to have);
 be compliant with current normative of the countries of the Enel group or be
possible to adapt to local normative with a limited effort (nice to have).
Estimated Benefits /*A list of benefits that the innovative solution described above would bring*/
 Reduction of accidents and injuries from objects falling from height or
reduction of their gravity (lower first prognosis); [necessario vedere i dati
infortunistici per quantificare lo stato attuale]
 Increase in operator safety during in-height activities;

Key Performance /*Which KPIs (or other objective type of index) should be considered while evaluating

 Reduction of severity index and operating frequency rate.
