Direction - SA region 25/10/2019
In accordance with section 116 of the National Electricity Law, AEMO has issued a direction to a participant in the SA region.
The direction was necessary to maintain the power system in a secure operating state.
AEMO may issue or revoke additional directions in order to meet the current requirement, unless sufficient market response is provided.
A further market notice will be issued when all directions related to this requirement have been cancelled.
For the purposes of the National Electricity Rules this is a direction under clause 4.8.9(a).

Cancellation of a Non-Credible Contingency Event: Dederang - Glenrowan No.1 220 kV line and Dederang - Glenrowan No.3 220 kV line in VIC1 due to Lightning.
Cancellation of reclassification of a Non-Credible Contingency Event as a Credible Contingency Event due to Lightning. AEMO considers the simultaneous trip of the following circuits is no longer reasonably possible. There is no longer any lightning activity in the vicinity of the following lines. Accordingly its classification has reverted to a non-credible contingency event.

The synchronous generating units expected to be synchronised in SA from 0100 hrs 26/10/2019 to 1800 hrs 26/10/2019 in Pre-dispatch published at 1300 hrs 25/10/2019 are inadequate to maintain sufficient system strength in SA and hence a secure operating state.
AEMO currently estimates that, in the absence of sufficient market response by 1630 hrs 25/10/2019, AEMO may need to intervene by issuing a direction requiring one or more SA synchronous generating unit(s) to operate or remain synchronised to maintain power system security in SA.

Possible intervention to manage power system security in South Australia (SA) Region
Possible intervention to manage power system security in South Australia (SA) Region
The combination of synchronous generating units currently expected to be synchronised in SA from 0100 hrs 26/10/2019 will not provide sufficient system strength in SA to maintain the power system in a secure operating state.
In the absence of sufficient market response AEMO may need to intervene by issuing a direction requiring one or more SA synchronous generating unit(s) to operate or remain synchronised from 0100 hrs 26/10/2019 to maintain power system security in SA.
Refer to current Transfer Limit Advice for SA system strength on AEMO website.
If necessary, AEMO will estimate and publish the latest time at which AEMO would need to intervene after the 1230 hrs Pre-Dispatch run on the 25/10/2019
