Update to system strength requirements in North Queensland
Refer to market notice 75226
AEMO and Powerlink are continuing to investigate system strength requirements in North Queensland. A revision to the requirements will be implemented at 1400 hrs today.
The revised minimum generator combinations and limits are:
1 - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 3 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 4 x Kareeya, 2 x Barron Gorge: 100% output
2 - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 3 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 4 x Kareeya, 1 x Barron Gorge: 80% output
3 - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 3 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 2 x Kareeya, 1 x Townsville GT: 80% output
4 - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 3 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 2 x Kareeya, 1 x Barron Gorge: 70% output
4H - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 3 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 2 x Kareeya, 1 x Barron Gorge, 50% or less output at Mt Emerald: 100% output for Haughton solar farm
5 - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 3 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 4 x Kareeya: 70% output
The following new combination will also be implemented:
6- 3 x Stanwell, 2 x Callide C, 3 x Gladstone, 9 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 4 x Kareeya: 20% output
If these combinations are not met, Mt Emerald WF, Sun metals SF and Haughton SF have a limit of 0 MW and 0 inverters.
The constraint equations are: Q_NIL_STRGTH_MEWF, Q_NIL_STRGTH_HAUSF, Q_NIL_STRGTH_SMSF.

This new limit takes into account the current physical limitation on generation from Sun Metals Solar Farm.
If these combinations are not met all three generators have a limit of 0 MW and 0 inverters.
The constraint equations are: Q_NIL_STRGTH_MEWF, Q_NIL_STRGTH_HAUSF, Q_NIL_STRGTH_SMSF.

Revised System Strength limits in North Queensland
AEMO and Powerlink are continuing to investigate system strength requirements in North Queensland.
Through this work, AEMO and Powerlink have identified the need, depending on power system conditions, to constrain the output of three generators in North Queensland to maintain power system security.
The constraint equation is expected to limit generation from the three generators depending on power system conditions. The generators are Mt Emerald Wind Farm, Haughton Solar Farm and Sun Metals Solar Farm.
The constraint equations are: Q_NIL_STRGTH_MEWF, Q_NIL_STRGTH_HAUSF, Q_NIL_STRGTH_SMSF. These will be implemented at 1500hrs EST today.
The minimum generator combinations and limits are:
1 - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 4 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 4 x Kareeya, 2 x Barron Gorge: 100% output
2 - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 4 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 4 x Kareeya, 1 x Barron Gorge: 80% output
3 - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 4 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 2 x Kareeya, 1 x Townsville GT: 80% output
4 - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 4 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 2 x Kareeya, 1 x Barron Gorge: 70% output
5 - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 4 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 4 x Kareeya: 70% output
If these combinations are not met all three generators have a limit of 0 MW and 0 inverters.

Increase in Heywood from SA to Vic limit from 500 to 550 MW
As a part of the Heywood Interconnector upgrade the increase in the upper transfer limit from SA to Victoria is dependent on the commissioning of the over frequency generation scheme (OFGS). The OFGS has now been commissioned AEMO has completed and detailed analysis of power system limits at higher transfers.
AEMO will increase the Heywood limit from SA to Vic (from the current 500 MW) to 550 MW and the combined (Heywood and Murraylink) SA to Vic limit from 650 to 700 MW at 1000 hrs on 18 Dec 2019.
The following constraint sets will be revoked:
I-SV_500_TEST
I-SVS_650_TEST
The following constraint sets will be invoked:
I-SV_550_TEST
I-SVS_700_TEST
