AEMO Operations Planning
Planned outage of Moorabool - Haunted Gully and Haunted Gully - Tarrone 500 kV lines in the Victoria region from the 25 February 2021 - 3 March 2021
The Moorabool - Haunted Gully and Haunted Gully - Tarrone 500 kV lines in the Victoria (VIC) region is planned to be out of service from 25 February 2021 0500hrs - 3 March 2021 1730hrs.
A credible contingency event during this planned outage could cause synchronous separation of the South Australia (SA) region from the rest of the NEM. If separation occurs, load may be interrupted due to the operation of the Automatic Under Frequency Load Shedding (AUFLS) scheme in SA.
The credible separation contingency is managed as follows:
- When power transfer is from SA to Victoria, contingency lower FCAS will be sourced from SA.
- When power transfer is from Victoria to SA, due to the 47-52Hz island separation frequency band advised by the SA jurisdiction, contingency raise FCAS is not sourced in SA and the AUFLS scheme may respond to low frequency events.
- Power transfer will be restricted on Victoria - South Australia interconnector (Heywood interconnector) to manage system security following the loss of the next contingency.
Forecast capacity reserves in the SA region are currently sufficient to meet electricity demand during the planned outage.
The following constraint sets have been invoked for this outage:
I-VS_050
S-X_BC_CP
V-X_HG_ML_TR

Direction - SA Region - 20/01/2021
In accordance with section 116 of the National Electricity Law, AEMO has issued a direction to a participant in the SA region. For the purposes of the National Electricity Rules this is a direction under clause 4.8.9(a).
The direction was necessary to maintain the power system in a secure operating state.
AEMO may issue or revoke additional directions in order to meet the current requirement, unless sufficient market response is provided. A further market notice will be issued when all directions related to this requirement have been cancelled.
The issue of the direction commences an AEMO intervention event. AEMO declares all dispatch intervals during the event to be intervention dispatch intervals, commencing from the interval ending 1715 hrs on 20/01/2021.
Intervention pricing does not apply to this AEMO intervention event.
