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:

New NSW system normal constraint to manage voltage collapse on loss of Lower Tumut to Wagga (051) 330kV line
Transgrid has advised AEMO of an new voltage stability limit in south-west NSW for loss of Lower Tumut to Wagga (051) 330 kV line. AEMO has now completed the review and testing of this new constraint equation and will implement the following constraint equation in AEMOS Production systems at 0900hrs Monday 8th December 2025.
N::N_NIL_WGLT
This constraint equations includes the generators in southern NSW on the left-hand side as well as Murraylink and VNI.
For full details on the formulation, the new constraint equation has now been loaded into AEMO's pre-production systems.
