VegeLine - Vegetation Management System

ELES is Slovenia's national transmission system operator. Their Vegetation Management System includes optimization tools and asset management software to integrate biodiversity protection with grid expansion. The tools help prevent harm to surrounding nature as well as disruption to power lines. Their initiative includes risk management of invasive species, easy integration with enterprise asset management software, and detailed analysis of the vegetation to improve land usage and reduce outages caused by trees near power grids.

Highlights

• Successful timely identification and removal of encroaching vegetation.
• Optimisation of maintenance intervals by optimising the frequency and types of activities.
• Planned outages for regular vegetation maintenance.

About the Practice

ELES' VegeLine is an initiative with the goal of optimising the collection of vegetation data and tools for maintenance. The most distinguishing feature of the initiative includes the use of predictive analysis and advanced regression. This helps predict future vegetation growth in next maintenance cycles.
