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
Q_NIL_STRGTH_XXXX_I
