This master's thesis addresses the analysis of short-circuit currents in the Slovenian power system based on the IEC 60909 standard, with a focus on the methodology for constructing islanded equivalents and their impact on short-circuit calculation results. The analysis was carried out using the DIgSILENT PowerFactory software package. First, a base network model with all generators (excluding TEŠ5) was prepared, followed by seven versions in which generators were replaced with equivalent voltage sources (network feeders) based on short-circuit contributions calculated in isolated subsystems. To comparative analysis, the system was divided into multiple isolated island models, each containing a single busbar designated by the ENTSO-E methodology as a point of short-circuit contribution. In each island, only local sources of short-circuit power (e.g., generators) were retained, while the rest of the system was not modelled. This approach made it possible to determine individual short-circuit contributions per busbar, which are later used as input data in the common European model. During data preparation, technical documentation of transmission lines from the Electric Institute Milan Vidmar (EIMV) was used to extract accurate line parameters with the help of Python scripts, with particular attention to the zero-sequence impedance components. For each island version, equivalent network feeders were inserted at the busbars that included sources of short-circuit power, and a new short-circuit calculation was performed. The results obtained were then compared to the base case using the least squares method to evaluate deviations. The analysis showed that the differences between individual versions were very small. In most cases, the values deviated by less than 5 %, indicating that the method is relatively insensitive to the choice of network cut-in points. This confirms the practical applicability of the approach for simplified modelling of national systems in accordance with ENTSO-E requirements, as it enables reliable results without the need for repeatedly determining the optimal island topology.
