Three transformer stations in Ajdovščina are now equipped with sensors to monitor temperature conditions, providing Elektro Primorska with real-time data through an accessible monitoring dashboard.

As electricity distribution networks face growing demands, having better information about the condition and operation of grid assets is essential. Monitoring transformer temperatures can help distribution system operators (DSOs) gain insights into equipment performance and identify potential issues.

As part of the OPENTUNITY Slovenian pilot, Elektro Primorska (EP) has installed monitoring sensors at three transformer stations in Ajdovščina. The collected measurements are visualised through a dashboard that allows users to monitor parameters such as ambient and top-oil temperatures in real time.

Beyond the technical implementation, Elektro Primorska is also promoting awareness of the project’s developments within the organisation. On 25 August 2026, the partner shared an update about the installation through its internal news platform, making information about the monitoring equipment and dashboard available to interested employees.

The initiative has already attracted attention: 214 employees have viewed the intranet news item, while the monitoring dashboard has recorded 117 accesses. This represents an opportunity to familiarise a wider group of employees with the technologies being tested through OPENTUNITY and their potential applications in everyday grid operations.

By combining sensor-based monitoring with accessible data visualisation, the Slovenian pilot is demonstrating how digital tools can support more informed asset management and contribute to smarter electricity distribution networks.
