On June 21st, 2018 Litostroj Power has been awarded with the Golden
prize for the innovation from Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia
(CCIS), Chamber for Central Slovenian Region. CCIS is a non-profit,
non-governmental and independent business organization representing the
interests of its members and is Slovenia's most influential business
association. CCIS unites under its roof 24 branch associations representing all
sectors of Slovenian Economy. CCIS consists of 13 regional chambers.
One of the winning innovations was also Litostroj Power's special
solution. Our team of researches and designers developed Vertical Tubular
Turbine with generator housed in a bulb in the water passage. It is intended to
replace old “Camelback” Turbines on HPP Buckingham in Canada. The major benefit of
our new solution is a very small intervention into existing HPP’s
infrastructure, therefore costs of refurbishment process can be radically
reduced in comparison to standard solutions.
In addition to that, also hydraulic characteristics of the turbine are enhanced, which makes this innovation remarkably unique. This is the proof, that our team is dedicated, innovative and gives it's
best to make remarkable solutions. We are happy and proud that our achievements
have been acknowledged.
