AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE

From 9th Oct 2024 AEMO will change constraints used during outages that create a credible risk of SA islanding.

From this date AEMO will:

1) Increase the maximum allowable flow on the V-SA interconnector from 50 MW to 250 MW in the VIC to SA direction, where the transmission outages is a planned outage.

2) Operate the SA region to the default 49-51 Hz target frequency containment band following a contingency event resulting in actual SA islanding. In order to meet this requirement, AEMO may now procure Contingency Raise FCAS locally from the SA region during these outages.

These changes reflect updated advice received by AEMO from the SA Jurisdictional System Security Coordinator.

The first network outage affected by this change is planned for 14th October 2024.

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE

Refer to market notice 92840.

Transgrid has advised AEMO of an update to the transient voltage stability limit in south-west NSW for loss of Darlington Point to Wagga (63) 330 kV line. The limit will include terms for the Darlington Point and Riverina BESS.

The following constraint equation will be updated with the above changes at 1100 hrs Friday 20th September 2024.
N::N_NIL_63

For full details on the formulation, the new constraint equation has now been loaded into AEMO's pre-production systems.

For further details on these constraint equation please contact ben.blake@aemo.com.au

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE

Refer to market notice 110677

AEMO and Powerlink are continuing to investigate system strength requirements in North Queensland.
Due to commissioning of new feeder 8905 (H13 Ross - H39 Woree) 275kV line in Far North Queensland, the system normal system strength equations for low North Queensland demands and all Karreya stations out of service conditions have been revised.

A revision to the constraint equations will be implemented at 1400 hrs on Tuesday 20th February 2024.

The new system strength combinations have now published in a limits advice document on AEMO's website. For more information refer to the new limits advice: https://www.aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/system-operations/congestion-information-resource/limits-advice

This advice contains all the combinations for Queensland for system normal cases.

Below constraint equations in the Q-NIL set will be modified:

- Q_NIL_STRGTH_KBWF
- Q_NIL_STRGTH_KBWF_I
- Q_NIL_STRGTH_HAUSF
- Q_NIL_STRGTH_HAUSF_I
- Q_NIL_STRGTH_MEWF
- Q_NIL_STRGTH_MEWF_I

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE

AEMO considers that there are suspect Forecast LOR3 conditions for the QLD region for the following periods:

1. From 0900 hrs to 1000 hrs 01/02/2024.
The maximum load (other than interruptible loads) forecast to be interrupted is 38 MW at 0930 hrs.

2. From 1130 hrs to 1200 hrs 01/02/2024.
The maximum load (other than interruptible loads) forecast to be interrupted is 62 MW at 1130 hrs.

AEMO is currently investigating these LOR3 forecast conditions to confirm whether they are valid.
