TRANSMITTING ENERGY, MAINTAINING BALANCE.

Physical and commercial cross-border electric power flows

Power plants input generated electric power into the transmission network; five distribution companies and high-voltage network consumers offtake electric power from the transmission network. In order to preserve the balance in the electric power system, the exchange of electric power with Austria, Italy and Croatia through international cross-border connections is also important.

The generation and load of electric power

The balance between the generation and offtake of electric power from the transmission network is achieved by using the leased system services and purchasing or selling energy for balancing. Thus, deviations between offtake realisation and the plan do not endanger the safe operation of the transmission network and the supply of electric power to the final consumers.

The book The Life of Electric Power in Independent Slovenia

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the National Committee of the International Council on Large Power Systems (CIGRE), a special book entitled The Life of Electric Power in Independent Slovenia 65/25 was published.

Division of Electrical Networks

Electrical networks are classified in terms of their voltage: low-voltage, medium-voltage and high-voltage networks. The ELES Company manages the latter, the high-voltage transmission network in Slovenia.

Shapes of electricity pylons

In Slovenia, the most common shapes of pylons are "fir tree", "barrel", "the Danube", the "Y-pylon" and the “H-pylon”.

Air Transport Safety Warnings

To ensure the safety of air transport, the upper parts of overhead power line pylons near airports are coloured in red and white, and red-white marking balls are also installed on protective conductors.

Bird Protection Warnings

Since some bird species while flying do not notice protective conductors, they easily collide with the conductors and get injured. To protect birds, we installed black and white flags which move due to the winds.
