Fortum Relies on MySQL to Monitor Power Plant in Real Time

The Högdalen power plant near Stockholm, Sweden is one of Europe's most modern facilities for waste incineration. It produces electricity and heat from municipal waste and processed industrial waste. The plant, which is jointly owned by the City of Stockholm and the Fortum company, converts waste into 1.300 GWh of energy on a yearly basis. This amounts to half the electricity and a fifth of the heat con- sumed by all homes in Stockholm. European environmental legislation requires that this sensitive industrial process is strictly monitored.
