Vattenfall Europe

Case study

Improving operational efficiency

Generate electricity and heat to meet 15 % and 50 %, respectively, of
Hamburg’s annual needs. That’s the mission of Vattenfall Europe Hamburg. To ensure continuous energy supply in its rapidly expanding market, at a reasonable price, the company makes substantial investments in its plants. When the Vattenfall central control room needed a complete refurbishment, Barco was the obvious partner. Barco provided a visualization solution that allows control room operators to oversee things better andwork more efficiently.

Expertise: a distinctive Barco asset
Vattenfall Hamburg decided to install three video walls with four 50” display cubes forming a large screen of 2 m width and 1,6 m height each. The video walls are interconnected, so that the operators can view the four displays as a whole or as divided sections.

“The integration was a quite complex and challenging job,” said Dieter Lühr, who is full of praise for Barco’s support and approach. “The Barco engineers opted for a step-by-step approach and were always ready to help whenever a problem cropped up. Throughout the implementation phase, our operators did not experience one minute of downtime.”
