1. Evaluation of the simultaneous operation of the mechanisms for cross-border interchange and activation of the regulating reservesMarcel Topler, Boštjan Polajžer, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: This article examines the mechanisms for cross-border interchange of the regulating
reserves (RRs), i.e., the imbalance-netting process (INP) and the cross-border activation of the
RRs (CBRR). Both mechanisms are an additional service of frequency restoration reserves in the
power system and connect different control areas (CAs) via virtual tie-lines to release RRs and
reduce balancing energy. The primary objective of the INP is to net the demand for RRs between
the cooperating CAs with different signs of interchange power variation. In contrast, the primary
objective of the CBRR is to activate the RRs in the cooperating CAs with matching signs of interchange
power variation. In this way, the ancillary services market and the European balancing system should
be improved. However, both the INP and CBRR include a frequency term and thus impact the
frequency response of the cooperating CAs. Therefore, the impact of the simultaneous operation of the
INP and CBRR on the load-frequency control (LFC) and performance is comprehensively evaluated
with dynamic simulations of a three-CA testing system, which no previous studies investigated
before. In addition, a function for correction power adjustment is proposed to prevent the undesirable
simultaneous activation of the INP and CBRR. In this way, area control error (ACE) and scheduled
control power are decreased since undesired correction is prevented. The dynamic simulations
confirmed that the simultaneous operation of the INP and CBRR reduced the balancing energy
and decreased the unintended exchange of energy. Consequently, the LFC and performance were
improved in this way. However, the impact of the INP and CBRR on the frequency quality has no
unambiguous conclusions. Keywords: frequency quality, load-frequency control, regulating reserves, cross-border interchange, cross-border activation Published in DKUM: 16.06.2025; Views: 0; Downloads: 0

2. Data protection heterogeneity in the European UnionMarko Hölbl, Boštjan Kežmah, Marko Kompara, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: In light of digitalisation, we are witnessing an increased volume of collected data and
data generation and exchange acceleration. Therefore, the European Union (EU) has introduced the
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as a new framework for data protection on the European
level. However, GDPR allows the member states to change some parts of the regulation, and the
member states can always build on top of the GDPR. An example is the collection of biometric data
with electronic signatures. This paper aims to compare the legislation on data protection topics in the
various EU member states. The findings show that the member states included in the study generally
do not have many additional/specific laws (only in 29.4% of the cases). However, almost all have
other/additional legislation to the GDPR on at least one topic. The most additional legislation is on
the topics of video surveillance, biometry, genetic data and health data. We also introduce a dynamic
map that allows for quick navigating between different information categories and comparisons of
the EU member states at a glance. Keywords: data protection, personal data, data privacy, GDPR legislation, heterogeneity, legislation on data protection, European Union Published in DKUM: 16.06.2025; Views: 0; Downloads: 0

3. Power-based concept for current injection by inverter-interfaced distributed generations during transmission-network faultsBoštjan Polajžer, Bojan Grčar, Jernej Černelič, Jožef Ritonja, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: This paper analyzes the influence of inverter-interfaced distributed generations’ (IIDGs)
response during transmission network faults. The simplest and safest solution is to switch IIDGs
off during network faults without impacting the network voltages. A more elaborate and efficient
concept, required by national grid codes, is based on controlling the IIDGs’ currents, involving
positive- and negative-sequence voltage measured at the connection point. In this way the magnitude
and phase of the injected currents can be adjusted, although the generated power will depend on the
actual line voltages at the connection point. Therefore, an improved concept is proposed to adjust
IIDGs’ fault current injection through the required active and reactive power, employing the same
voltage characteristics. The proposed, i.e., power-based concept, is more definite than the currentbased one, since the required power will always be generated. The discussed concepts for the fault
current injection by IIDGs were tested in different 110-kV networks with loop and radial topologies,
and for different short-circuit capabilities of the aggregated network supply. Based on extensive
numerical calculations, the power-based concept during transmission networks faults generates
more reactive power compared to the current-based concept. However, the voltage support by IIDGs
during transmission networks faults, regardless of the concept being used, is influenced mainly
by the short-circuit capability of the aggregated network supply. As regards distance protection
operation, it is influenced additionally by the network topology, i.e., in radial network topology, the
remote relay’s operation can be delayed due to a largely seen impedance. Keywords: distributed generation, fault current injection, voltage support, distance protection, transmission network faults Published in DKUM: 16.06.2025; Views: 0; Downloads: 0

Knjiga razširja doseg turističnih študij z zagotavljanjem celovitih in temeljitih pregledov številnih vprašanj, povezanih z odgovornim razvojem turizma. Zbornik prispevkov obravnava odgovorno gostoljubnost široko in v skladu s skrbmi za družbeno, kulturno, gospodarsko in naravno okolje. S tem ponuja distinktiven in uravnotežen pregled tako teoretičnih vprašanj kot praktičnih primerov. Izhajajoč iz predpostavke, da so zaveze glede dostopnosti in socialne vključenosti ultimativni referenčni okvir za odgovoren razvoj turizma danes, zbornik v prvem delu najprej predstavlja prispevke o dostopnem turizmu in zagotavljanju socialne trajnosti turizma prek načel vključevanja vseh družbenih skupin. V kontekstu povečanega povpraševanja po vseobsegajočih in poglobljenih izkušnjah prispevki, predstavljeni v drugem delu, prispevajo k razumevanju aktivnega turizma in športnega turizma. V zadnjem delu pa avtorji prispevkov preučujejo tudi vprašanja razvoja odgovornega turizma v okviru zelenega, zdravega in lokalnega iz treh različnih perspektiv: perspektive (vedenja) turistov, lokalnih ponudnikov (storitev) in na nivoju upravljanja. Splošni cilj knjige je oblikovati vizijo gostoljubnosti, ki deluje na način, ki podpira ljudi in skupnosti, spodbuja odgovorno okoljsko potrošnjo in je družbeno vključujoč.

6. Primerjava razvoja spletne rešitve z uporabo enega ali več programskih jezikov : diplomsko deloJože Lavrič, 2025, undergraduate thesis Abstract: Diplomsko delo obravnava primerjavo razvoja spletnih aplikacij z enim (Blazor/C#) ali več programskimi jeziki (Flask/Python in React/JavaScript). Problem predstavlja odločitev med enostavnejšo integracijo in večjo prilagodljivostjo. Cilj dela je bil ugotoviti prednosti in slabosti obeh pristopov. Metodološko smo uporabili študij literature, razvoj aplikacij, testiranje in evalvacijo s SUS-vprašalnikom. Rezultati kažejo, da razvoj z enim jezikom zmanjša kompleksnost, medtem ko večjezični pristop nudi boljše možnosti prilagajanja, a zahteva več usklajevanja in vzdrževanja.

7. Quasi-static and impact behaviour of polymer-metal interpenetrating phase TPMS compositesNejc Novak, Oraib Al-Ketan, Anja Mauko, Lovre Krstulović-Opara, Shigeru Tanaka, Matej Borovinšek, Boštjan Vihar, Uroš Maver, Kazuyuki Hokamoto, Matej Vesenjak, Zoran Ren, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Interpenetrating phase composites (IPC) are materials with two or more mutually continuous, interconnected phases. This structure allows each phase to retain its properties, while together they exhibit enhanced synergistic properties. In this work, polymer-metal IPCs with Triply Periodical Minimal Surface (TPMS) structures were fabricated and tested for their mechanical properties at different impact velocities (ranging from 0.1 mm/s to 250 m/s). Samples. The samples comprise a stainless steel reinforcement phase and two polymeric matrices (silicone and epoxy). Computed tomography was used to evaluate the internal structure and the fabrication quality. The results showed that the samples were thoroughly infiltrated with polymeric filler, achieving a high degree of homogeneity in the composite. The compression tests of silicone-filled IPCs showed an increase in stiffness. Still, the Specific Energy Absorption (SEA) was not improved due to the non-optimal stiffness ratio between the polymeric matrix and the metallic reinforcement phase. However, using epoxy as the matrix resulted in the SEA enhancement of 38 %. This is attributed to the interlocking mechanism between the two phases, which improved the macroscopic mechanical properties. The compression tests showed significant strain rate hardening due to the base material’s strain rate sensitivity and the inertia effects.

9. Razvoj in vrednotenje dostopnih spletnih rešitev za uporabnike z ovirami : diplomsko deloMarsel Klopčič, 2025, undergraduate thesis Abstract: V diplomskem delu smo analizirali dejavnike uporabniške izkušnje, ter vpliv dostopnosti na njeno celovitost v digitalnih produktih. Raziskali smo, kako dostopnost izboljšuje izkušnjo za vse uporabnike, še posebej pa za tiste z omejitvami. Razvili smo prototip mobilne spletne trgovine za prehranske dodatke, pri čemer smo upoštevali smernice WCAG za zagotavljanje dostopnosti. Testiranje uporabnikov različnih starostnih skupin je pokazalo, očitno degradacijo vidnih, kognitivnih in motoričnih sposobnosti povezanih s starostjo ter, da je naš prototip dostopen in uporaben za uporabnike vseh starostnih skupin, saj nismo zaznali večjih točk trenja. Ugotovili smo, da dostopnost bistveno izboljša uporabniško izkušnjo, predvsem za uporabnike z ovirami. Keywords: dostopnost, uporabniška izkušnja, prototip, spletna trgovina, uporabniki z

10. Hitro omejevanje toka z napravo m-sssc in preizkušanje rezervnih con distančne zaščite z uporabo digitalnega simulatorja v realnem času : magistrsko deloStefan Najdovski, 2025, master's thesis Abstract: Magistrska naloga analizira hipotetičen dogodek N-2, tj. izpad dvosistemskega 400-kV daljnovoda Maribor–Kainachtal, ki bi kritično povečal obremenitev obravnavanega 220-kV daljnovoda Podlog–Obersielach. Posledično bi delovala distančna zaščita 220-kV daljnovoda v tretji ali četrti coni. Z namenom preprečevanja delovanja zaščite je raziskava usmerjena v vpeljavo modularnega statičnega sinhronskega serijskega kompenzatorja (m SSSC) na obravnavanem 220-kV daljnovodu. Naprava m-SSSC je namreč tovrstne nepotrebne izklope zmožna preprečiti z aktivacijo funkcije hitrega omejevanja toka. Raziskovalni proces je vključeval modeliranje omrežja, simulacijo dogodka N-2, parametriziranje in analizo odzivov dinamičnega modela naprave m-SSSC ter preizkušanje distančne zaščite v zaprti zanki in realnem času z digitalnim simulatorjem NovaCor. Rezultati simulacij delovanja naprave m-SSSC potrjujejo, da predlagane nastavitve funkcije za hitro omejevanje toka omogočajo hitre in stabilne odzive. Poleg tega rezultati preizkušanja dveh zaščitnih relejev Siemens Siprotec 7SD5 kažejo, da naprava m-SSSC pri obravnavanem dogodku N-2 za smer pretoka Obersielach–Podlog preprečuje nepotrebno delovanje distančne zaščite Keywords: statični sinhronski serijski kompenzator, preobremenitev daljnovoda, distančna zaščita, digitalni simulator v realnem času, preizkušanje opreme v zaprti zanki.
