Management of Over-Frequency conditions in South Australia
AEMO has conducted technical assessments to evaluate the adequacy of existing over-frequency generator shedding (OFGS) scheme in South Australia. The OFGS scheme helps to maintain frequency operating standards by tripping generators in a pre-determined manner during over-frequency conditions, to minimise the risk of cascade tripping.
AEMO?s review found that system security risks can arise when high levels of power transfer out of SA coincide with periods when the available OFGS capacity is insufficient to manage potential over-frequency conditions for a non-credible trip of the Heywood interconnector. As such a system normal constraint is required to manage the combined SA export capacity under such conditions, so as to maintain SA power system operations within the limits advised by ElectraNet.
The following constraint equation was implemented at 1425hrs 15 December 2025:
