Powering a Continent with Reliable Data
As a cornerstone of North American energy—managing 40% of the continent’s power flow—this industry leader needed to unlock the full potential of its infrastructure data. Buchanan Technologies, as a leading solution provider, engaged with the firm to transform raw power metrics into actionable intelligence, streamlining their operations, and future-proofing critical infrastructure.
Automation - The Need of the Hour
The firm recognized the need to elevate its data capabilities. With power metrics being managed through legacy systems, Excel files, and manual processes, their team sought a modern solution to streamline operations, unify intelligence, and empower real-time decisions across their vast network. This led to an effective partnership with Buchanan Technologies.
A New Decision Support Tool
Buchanan Technologies worked closely with the power generation firm to modernize its data infrastructure. Our team developed a Decision Support Tool (DST) using Microsoft technologies, including:
- Angular for a user-friendly interface
- Power BI for comprehensive reporting and analytics
- Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) for efficient deployment
- SQL Server for a robust database repository
This application was designed to ingest electric power utilization data from diverse sources across the U.S. and Canada, providing enhanced reporting and analytics capabilities. In addition, our team developed a water utilization and reporting app that empowered the firm’s users to analyze power utilization down to specific areas (city, county, zip), perform sophisticated pricing analytics with a time slider, and receive real-time notifications on critical events like utilization spikes or rate changes.
Delivering Efficiency, Control & Insight
The tailored solution delivered significant value to the power generation firm by creating a foundation for smarter operations.
By automating manual processes, improving analytical capabilities, and providing real-time insights, Buchanan Technologies facilitated the energy firm to make more informed and timely decisions regarding power regulation and distribution. The new DST application equipped the firm to optimize its operations, enhance control over power distribution, and effectively manage pricing strategies.
