PowerStream

Case study

PowerStream paves the way to the future – supported by Barco technology

Mergers and acquisitions are inextricably linked with both great opportunities and major challenges. After the merger of three utilities and the subsequent acquisition of Aurora Hydro Connections in 2005, the Canadian electricity distributor PowerStream decided to build a new head office. The decision presented a unique opportunity for John McClean, currently Director of Operations, and his team to put their years of experience into designing a new control room, entirely from scratch. It became a fine example of modern control room technology and design.

Barco's visualization solution was designed to meet PowerStream's tough technical and ergonomic requirements. Today, it provides the control room operators with a real-time, total overview of the power grid system. They, as well as the Management and every visitor to the brand-new building, are impressed with its ease-of–use and high functional specification.
