Abstract
This challenge focuses on electrical accidents occurred to third parties, i.e. accidents to people not working for Enel Group but involving Enel Group infrastructures. About 70% of these accidents occurs as a result of a contact with live parts, typically bare overhead lines in both urban and rural areas, while a private third party is working in his own yard (a domestic construction site) or a company not working for Enel performs its work activity (a company construction site).
Even though the lines have been built according to the regulations in force, risk situations may arise if suitable safety distances are not met, e.g. because of illegal activities, mistakes, or lacks of knowledge of the prevention measures.
INFO: expiration date extended until 15th May 2020.
Description
THE CHALLENGE
The scope of the challenge is the prevention of external third parties (citizens and workers from another companies) electric accidents during domestic or company activities close to MV and LV lines in both urban and rural areas.
Enel is searching for effective solutions allowing an easy and fast identification of possible risk situations in the scenarios above. This identification should be simple to be shared not only internally within Enel I&N but also with external bodies such as municipalities, police, etc.
Ideally the solution proposed should also allow the creation of a “heat map” of those risk situations and its continuous and automatic update.
PROJECT DELIVERABLES
The aim is to present a proposal containing useful solutions to prevent third parties electrical accidents:
- Easy and fast identification of possible risk situations
- Easy internal sharing of the identified risk situations
- Easy external bodies sharing of the identified risk situations
- Dynamic heat map of the identified risk situations
This challenge provides contribution to the following sustainable development goals (SDGs) to transform our world:
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
- SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
Challenge rules
Except for the people involved in the organization and management of the I&NNOVABILITY CHALLENGE and their spouses or partners and their relatives up to the fourth degree calculated according to Italian law, the proposals could be submitted by all the employees working in the legal entities pertaining to the perimeter of Infrastructure & Networks at Enel Group in the following countries Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Italy, Peru, Romania and Spain.
Explain your proposal clearly in one of the five (5) following languages of Enel Group: English , Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian. If needed to provide further details, you can attach up to five (max 5) documents on the platform.
Solvers must develop their proposal so that benefits and feasibility can be assessed. Challenge seeks for solutions that can be implemented in the short term to obtain practical results. General ideas or not detailed solutions will receive low ranking in the evaluation. Additionally, the application of new technologies and a sustainability approach in the proposed solution will be considered a plus.
The maximum number of members per team is 3. The submission will be done by the Team Leader and the list of team members must be identified in the submission. Please note that team composition must be specified in the Proposal’s attachments.
The Evaluation Committee will decide 3 finalists for each challenge and a jury will award one (1) winner per Challenge.
Proposals will be admitted on the platform from 10th February,2020 to 15th May, 2020 (within 23.59 CET), and the evaluation will start after this date.
All proposers are invited to read carefully the challenge and the regulation of this contest before submitting a solution.
By submitting a solution, you automatically accept the Regulations of this challenge other than the Terms of Use of this platform.
What happens next?
The I&NNOVABILITY Challenge Evaluation Committee will evaluate your proposal and might contact you to gather additional information.
Your innovative proposal will be evaluated based on technical, sustainable, economic and business impact parameters, for I&N. The presentation of the proposal will also be evaluated.
At the end of the assessment, you will receive feedback.
In case of being selected as a Finalist, an Enel I&N contact person will get in touch with you to discuss the next steps.
