Power Machines was awarded a laureate diploma at the International Competition of Scientific, Technical, and Innovative Projects Aimed at the Development of Fuel, Energy, and Extractive Industries in 2021. The award ceremony for the competition winners took place on October 7 at the St. Petersburg International Gas Forum 2021.

The project of Power Machines - "Increasing the cooling rate for rotors of gas-cooled turbine generators" was submitted to the competition. Authors of this project are employees of the special design bureau for the design of turbine generators at the Electrosila Plant (part of Power Machines), Tatyana Nikolaeva Kartashova, head of the Electromagnetic Calculations Sector, Aleksei Grigorievich Filin, chief specialist in thermal and ventilation calculations; and Aleksei Yurievich Prokofiev, chief specialist of the Diagnostic Systems Design Department at "Power Machines". All team members are Candidates of Technical Sciences (PhD in Engineering).

The developed system contributes to an increase in the unit capacity for turbine generators, especially those with air cooling, which are in demand in the power industry of the Russian Federation.

This year's competition featured 196 entries from 88 companies related to the oil and gas, coal and peat, electric power, renewable energy, pipeline transport, nuclear power, and mining industries. The competition was supported by the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation.
