Procedure Change Proposal
Wholesale Electricity Market Rules – Clause 2.10
Date of Notice: 26 October 2023
Matter under Consultation
AEMO has initiated this Procedure Change Proposal to amend the WEM Dispatch Algorithm Formulation Updates Procedure to address changes arising from:
- Allowances on ESS Trapezia where because of mandatory droop response, AEMO has observed multiple facilities were becoming unavailable for ESS when they dipped below their Enablement Minimum. AEMO proposes to modify the ESS Pre-Processing calculations in paragraph 2.5 of the Dispatch Algorithm Formulation.
- Removal of lower bound on Contingency variables: certain Network Contingencies can become negative when large loads occur (e.g. the Contingency is non-existent). To avoid violations, we are removing the lower bound on the Contingency variable. These changes will commence immediately after publication of the Procedure Change Proposal.
- Additionally, AEMO identified several implementation bugs to be resolved and has made some minor clarifications to other areas of the formulation.
These changes were implemented on 12 October 2023 to address system issues and improve market outcomes.
Further details are provided in the Procedure Change Proposal published with this notice. The proposed amended WEM Procedures are also published with this notice.
