Tasmanian Regulation FCAS changes - Wednesday 5th April 2023
AEMO are changing the procurement of Regulation FCAS for the TAS region.
This change is based on advice received from TasNetworks, following a review of operation of the TAS region with the end of the reclassification of Basslink.
Refer to AEMO Electricity market notice 105443.
Following this change Regulation FCAS requirements for the TAS region will only be procured from within TAS.
This change will be implemented from 1000 on Wed 5th April.

Update to Victorian system normal constraint equations ID
AEMO has been conducting major review of thermal constraint equations for preparation of completion of VNI East project. As part of the review, AEMO is going to update the constraint equations IDs to use the new standard format of below (this is the same standard now used in NSW):
V>>[OUTAGE]_[MONITORING ELEMENT]_[CONTINGENCY ELEMENT]
This is to improve the simplicity and readability of a thermal constraint equation ID.
Constraint equations ID in sets V-NIL and V-NIL_BATS_BETS_15M will be updated to the new format on Thursday 23rd March 2023 at 1000 hrs. The previous used constraint equations ID will be included in the Modification field of the constraint equation for reference.
The changes have now been implemented into AEMO's pre-production system.

Updated NSW system normal voltage stability limit
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.?
