Update - Lightning vulnerable lines in TAS region
Update - Lightning vulnerable lines in TAS region
Refer to AEMO Electricity Market Notice 118320 ,118321, 118322
At 1340 hrs 19/09/2024 the Gordon - Chapel St No 1 220 kV line and the Gordon - Chapel St No 2 220 kV line tripped.
The cause of the trip was identified as due to Lightning.
In accordance with SO_OP_3715, AEMO now considers the Gordon - Chapel St No 1 220 kV line and the Gordon - Chapel St No 2 220 kV line to be vulnerable with a category of Vulnerability due to Lightning.

Planned outage of Tailem Bend - South East 275 kV transmission line in the South Australia region beginning on 20/09/2024
The Tailem Bend - South East No 1 275 kV line in the South Australian (SA) region is planned to be out of service from 2100 hrs on 20/09/2024 to 0530 hrs on 21/09/2024.
A credible contingency event during this planned outage could cause synchronous separation of the SA region from the rest of the NEM.
During this planned outage:
- Power transfer will be restricted across the VIC - SA interconnector (Heywood interconnector); and
- Post contingent FCAS will be sourced within SA following Separation event.
Refer AEMO Network Outage Schedule (NOS) for further details.

Accordingly its classification has reverted to a non-credible contingency event.
Region: TAS1
Lines: Farrell-John Butters and Farrell-Rosebery-Newton-Queenstown
Cancellation time: 19/09/2024 12:34

Cancellation: Reclassification of non-credible contingency event due to existence of widespread abnormal condition - NEM region.
AEMO considers the occurrence of a non-credible contingency event due to the widespread abnormal conditions advised in AEMO Electricity Market Notice 118311 is no longer reasonably possible and accordingly its classification has reverted to non-credible.
Cancellation time: 1145 hrs 18/09/2024.
No constraints were invoked during this event

Reclassification of non-credible contingency event due to existence of widespread abnormal condition/s - NEM regions
AEMO has identified that a non-credible contingency event impacting the power system is more likely to occur and is considered reasonably possible because of the existence of widespread abnormal conditions namely Severe Space Weather Watch in the NEM regions.
AEMO has therefore reclassified the occurrence of a non-credible contingency event involving multiple plant due to these abnormal conditions as credible.
Duration: 0200 hrs 18/09/2024 until further notice
Need for further measures is being monitored and further measures may be implemented in line with the Power System Security Guidelines (SO_OP_3715).
