Declaration of electricity market suspension

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
Declaration of electricity market suspension
AEMO declares the spot market suspended in New South Wales with Market Suspension Schedule Pricing (refer NER clause 3.14.5(b)) from Trading Interval 2015 hrs on 17 March 2023 until further notice.
Dispatch prices for the first one or two dispatch intervals of this market suspension will be reviewed manually.

Updated NSW system normal voltage stability limit

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE

Refer to market notice 105936?

The Murraylink Very Fast Runback (VFRB) scheme was modified to increase the capacity of the network due to the increase in generation in the area. The scheme was changed so Murraylink VFRB could be activated / de-activated depending on the time of day on the monitored 220kV lines in north-west Victoria.?

Transgrid has advised AEMO on a revision to the X5 voltage collapse limit with this change to VFRB. This will now be managed by two limits.?

The following constraint equation changes will be implemented at 0900 hrs on Thursday 16th March 2023:
N^^N_NIL_X5_BEKG (replaces N^^N_NIL_3)
N^^N_NIL_X5_BESH (new)?

For full details on the factors on constraint equations and all the constraint equation changes - these have now been loaded into AEMO's pre-production systems.?

Update to system strength requirements in North Queensland

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE

Refer to market notice 102074

AEMO and Powerlink are continuing to investigate system strength requirements in North Queensland.
Due to commissioning of Kaban wind farm in Far North Queensland, the system normal equations have been revised to include following combinations.

-If Stanwell >=2, Stanwell + Calllide >=3, Gladstone >= 1, Stanwell + Callide + Gladstone >= 7, Kareeya >=0, Haughton Syncon status = ON/OFF, North Queensland load >=250 MW,
Ross+FNQ load >=100 MW, limit Kaban Windfarm to 100% (with Haughton Syncon ON), 0% (with Haughton Syncon Syncon OFF) and no limit to other NQLD Plants.

A revision to the constraint equations will be implemented at 1400 hrs on Wednesday 1st March 2023.

The new 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. Additional information has been included in the limit advice to clarify the requirement to disconnect all inverters/turbines under certain system conditions.

The constraint equation in the Q-NIL set of the form below will be modified:

Q_NIL_STRGTH_XXXX

Changes to Murraylink Very Fast Runback and constraints in Victoria

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE

The Murraylink Very Fast Runback (VFRB) scheme is being modified to increase the capacity of the network due to the increase in generation in the area. The scheme will be changed so Murraylink VFRB can be activated / de-activated depending on the time of day on the monitored 220kV lines in north-west Victoria.

The changes to the scheme will be activated and constraint equaiton modified at 1200hrs Monday 20th February 2023. The following system normal constraint equations will be modified:
V^^V_NIL_KGTS
V^^V_NIL_KGTS_2

New Victorian system normal voltage stability limit

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE

AEMO has identified a new voltage collapse issue in south-west Victoria. The voltage collapse occurs in the south-west region for loss of the Haunted Gully to Moorabool 500 kV line with simultaneous trip of both APD potlines as per Market Notice 91405.

The limit will manage flow towards Moorabool on the cut-set of Haunted Gully to Moorabool and Mortlake to Moorabool 500 kV lines.

The new constraint equation includes generators in south-west Victoria on the left-hand side as well as Heywood interconnector. Full details on the limits advice are to be published on 30th August 2022 on the AEMO website: https://aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/system-operations/congestion-information-resource/limits-advice

The following constraint equation will be implemented and added to constraint set V-NIL at 1000 hrs on Tuesday 30th August 2022:
V^^V_NIL_SWVIC

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

For further details on this constraint equation please contact terry.liu@aemo.com.au

Update to Vic to NSW voltage collapse limit

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE

Refer to Market Notice 82819

AEMO has completed a comprehensive review of the system normal voltage stability limit for loss of all APD potlines for flows from Victoria to New South Wales. The revised limit is the result of latest network configuration, comprehensive generation/load patterns, and recent commissioned generators in Victoria and southern NSW which could potentially mean higher transfers into NSW under some generation/load scenarios.

The revised constraint equation includes generators in southern NSW, north-west Victoria and hydro generation at Mt. Beauty on the left-hand side as well as VIC1-NSW1 and Murraylink. Full details on the limits advice are to be published on 18/08/2022 on the AEMO website: https://aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/system-operations/congestion-information-resource/limits-advice

The constraint is most likely to bind when there is low Vic demands and high transfers to NSW. When it binds it will restrict Vic to NSW transfers and southern NSW units.

This revised limit will be implemented to the following constraint equation at 1000 hrs Thursday 18th August 2022.
V^^N_NIL_1

For further details on this constraint equation please contact terry.liu@aemo.com.au
