TIWAG Tiroler Wasserkraft AG

Innsbruck, Austria - Modernisation of the Dispatching Center at Innsbruck headquarters with a WEYTEC distribution­PLATFORM solution and an eyevis video wall.

Client

The Tiroler TIWAG AG provides safe and environmentally sound energy supplies at competitive prices. TIWAG also creates jobs, value and industrial development in its home market, contributing to the securing of positive economic and social living conditions for the next generation. In order to continually ensure a safe, inexpensive and environmentally friendly power supply in Tirol, TIWAG is expanding renewable, cost-stable and CO2-free hydropower. It encourages alternative energy sources and the most efficient use of high-quality energy flow.

TIWAG’s Dispatching Center oversees the entire energy management of TIWAG power plants. This includes the forecasting of inflows, the prognosis of customer load and an intensive monitoring of relevant energy markets. The Dispatching Center is staffed around the clock, seven days a week to meet the high requirements of security and stability standards.

 

Challenge

WEYTEC’s mandate was to design and deliver a fully integrated turnkey solution to modernise the center and contribute to process optimisation for the hydropower company. 

The scope of the project included two high-performance workplaces each with six screens, two hot-standby workplaces each with four screens and a professional video wall, all connected and controlled by a WEYTEC distributionPLATFORM. WEYTEC provides one-stop customer support services covering the entire spectrum and interoperability of all components (from both WEYTEC and eyevis) throughout the life cycle of the solution.

Solution

All the PCs (12 sources and a satellite receiver) and the video wall are connected by the WEYTEC distribution­PLATFORM. Sources are controlled by a single WEYTEC smartTOUCH multifunctional keyboard on each desk and displayed with a simple press of a button on any of the workplace screens or the large video wall. Content includes output from cameras, pictures and online information from control systems and TV channels.

 

Video Wall

The eyevis video wall solution consists of 2x3 stackable and seamless, ultra-thin bezel 55” full HD LCD monitors, a NetPix 
Graphic Controller and eyeCON Wall Management software. The large screen display takes advantage of the units’ sleek 
design to maximize the use of limited space in the control room. The video wall is visible from both of the main workplaces and provides an optimal overview for all the operators as well as the opportunity to present high resolution pictures on several screens.
