Company Profile

Proud to be here,
since 1853

nsaldo Energia is Italys largest supplier, installer and service provider for
power generation plants and components and one of the worlds leading
players in the sector. It is a full-cycle, integrated operator, with the capabilities to build turnkey power plants on green field sites using its own technology and
its own independent design, production, construction, commissioning and service
resources. Founded in Genoa in 1853, Ansaldo established itself right from the outset
as Italys leading mechanical engineering company, first working in the railway sector
and then manufacturing marine engines until the start of the twentieth century, when
it entered the power generation sector and built its first electrotechnical production
facility in Cornigliano, where the company made electrical equipment, dynamos and
other products.
Since then, the power sector has played a key role for Ansaldo, which over the years
has moved from steam-based power generation plants (from 1912) to gas turbines
(from 1992) and full technological independence since 2005.
At the present time, Ansaldo Energia is structured around its core business activities
of plants, components (gas turbines, steam turbines and generators), service work
and nuclear activities (through subsidiary company Ansaldo Nucleare).
Ansaldo Energia is also active in Distributed Generation with AnsaldoTurbec micro
gas turbines and in waste to Energy with Dry Anaerobic Digestion.
The breadth of its references, the quality, flexibility and efficiency of its products and,
most importantly, the commitment, experience and professionalism of its people have
made Ansaldo Energia a world-leading company with an enviable international reputation. Ansaldo Energia currently employs about 3,300 people and has an installed
capacity of 184,000 MW in 90 countries.

Who we are

Ansaldo Energia began working in the gas turbine sector in

1991. In 2001, the 100th gas turbine built by Ansaldo Energia
entered service and in 2005 the company gained full technological independence. Since then it has concentrated all
its efforts on creating leading edge products and solutions
that satisfy the demanding requirements of an increasingly
competitive market. To date, Ansaldo Energia has installed
over 200 gas turbines with a capacity of over 38,000 MW,
reporting more than 8 million equivalent operating hours and
reliability higher than 98%. Ansaldo Energia gas turbines
(E and F-class) can be used in all possible power generation
applications, in open or combined cycle turnkey plants, in integrated heat cycles for power blocks and as individual units.
They are the result of a proprietary technology development
process and have ratings in the range 75 to 310 MW.
One of the points of strength of Ansaldo Energia is its customization of turbines to satisfy the customers requirements
and needs. In recent years innovative solutions and upgrades
have been developed to reduce emissions drastically while
guaranteeing the same reliability. Specifically, Ansaldo Energia has developed a NOx emission reduction system based
on the companys VeLoNOx burner, which limits emissions
to under 30 mg/Nm3 for all the gas turbine models it offers.
Ansaldo Energia offers a comprehensive range of services
and qualified personnel for the erection and/or supervision,
start-up and testing of its gas turbines.
Ansaldo Energia service organization also provides worldwide technical assistance 24/7 to put customers in the best
possible position to achieve optimum operation.

Gas turbines

Ansaldo Energia has more than a century of experience designing, manufacturing and installing steam turbines.
Since 1912, the company has installed over 700 steam turbines rated in excess of 100 GW.
Ansaldo Energia produces a broad range of 50 and 60 Hz
reheat and non-reheat steam turbines rated from 40 to 1,000
MW (with reheat) for fossil fuel, combined cycle, nuclear and
cogeneration plants.
The company also offers a comprehensive line of geothermal
steam turbines rated 20 to 150 MW.
Dedicated R&D and service organizations provide customers with ongoing assistance through constant product improvements, combined with the traditional reliability and robustness of Ansaldo Energia products: the result is a unique
and balanced value package based on innovation and reliability.

Steam turbines

Ansaldo Energia has been producing turbogenerators since

the early 1920s, when production was focused almost exclusively on air-cooled designs.
Since 1950, about 500 generators rated 10 to 330 MVA have
left the Ansaldo Energia factory for installation in every corner
of the world. In the 1950s, Ansaldo Energia extended its production base to include hydrogen and hydrogen/water-cooled
generators, building more than 200 units in the range 40 to
1220 MVA with a total capacity of over 100,000 MVA.
Ansaldo Energia generators can be installed in combined
cycle, steam, geothermal and nuclear plants, as well as in
rotating synchronous compensators.
Ansaldo Energia turbogenerators combine proven design,
manufacturing and commissioning skills with the companys
well known flexibility in matching customer needs with tailored solutions and customizations.

Generators

Ansaldo Energia has developed and provides service activities for its own and third party gas turbines, steam turbines
and generators, with maintenance propositions based on
three concepts: Long Term Service Agreements covering the
management of all maintenance activities, including spare
parts and periodic overhauls; upgrade solutions for life cycle extension and to improve efficiency and environmental
standards; and a one-stop shop package offering based on
the OSP (Original Service Provider) concept. This service
model combines the reliability and experience of an Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with the efficiency and flexibility of an Independent Service Provider.
On a joint basis with subsidiary companies Ansaldo Thomassen (based in The Netherlands) and Ansaldo Thomassen Gulf (with its workshop in Abu Dhabi), Ansaldo Energia
offers customers a single service interface for all machinery
and power plants, independently of who supplies the components, in order to optimize costs, improve planning and
reduce plant downtime.
Ansaldo Energia Service Solutions are designed to optimize
asset management strategies, guarantee availability, prevent
power plants from aging and deploy the latest upgrades and
most environment friendly technologies.
