At the end of last week, the representatives of the European agency CINEA visited the SINCRO.GRID project locations of the companies ELES and HOPS and inspected the work done so far within the European project of common interest in the field of smart grids - SINCRO.GRID.

They visited the national control center in Ljubljana and were introduced to the key features and operation of the system for dynamic thermal rating of transmission line capacities, the virtual cross-border control center and all interventions in ICT systems needed to establish these applications in the existing SCADA / EMS system. CINEA representatives also visited the site where an innovative weather station is mounted, which provides weather data to the DTR SUMO system. They also visited three transformer stations: in Okroglo they saw battery energy storage system, in Beričevo we presented the progress of work for the installation of a static compensator STATCOM, and in Divača they visited an already operating variable shunt reactor and energy capacitor with a damping network. CINEA representatives also saw the progress of the project at locations in the Republic of Croatia.

All devices installed within the SINCRO.GRID project will optimize voltage and reactive power in the Slovenian and Croatian transmission power networks, and the VCBCC system will coordinate their operation.

Representatives of the CINEA agency praised the work and activities that have been done so far and called for the equally successful completion of the project.
