Changes to Murraylink Very Fast Runback and constraints in Victoria
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
The Murraylink Very Fast Runback (VFRB) scheme is being modified to increase the capacity of the network due to the increase in generation in the area. The scheme will be changed so Murraylink VFRB can be activated / de-activated depending on the time of day on the monitored 220kV lines in north-west Victoria.
The changes to the scheme will be activated and constraint equaiton modified at 1200hrs Monday 20th February 2023. The following system normal constraint equations will be modified:
V^^V_NIL_KGTS
V^^V_NIL_KGTS_2

New Victorian system normal voltage stability limit
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
AEMO has identified a new voltage collapse issue in south-west Victoria. The voltage collapse occurs in the south-west region for loss of the Haunted Gully to Moorabool 500 kV line with simultaneous trip of both APD potlines as per Market Notice 91405.
The limit will manage flow towards Moorabool on the cut-set of Haunted Gully to Moorabool and Mortlake to Moorabool 500 kV lines.
The new constraint equation includes generators in south-west Victoria on the left-hand side as well as Heywood interconnector. Full details on the limits advice are to be published on 30th August 2022 on the AEMO website: https://aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/system-operations/congestion-information-resource/limits-advice
The following constraint equation will be implemented and added to constraint set V-NIL at 1000 hrs on Tuesday 30th August 2022:

Update to Vic to NSW voltage collapse limit
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
Refer to Market Notice 82819
AEMO has completed a comprehensive review of the system normal voltage stability limit for loss of all APD potlines for flows from Victoria to New South Wales. The revised limit is the result of latest network configuration, comprehensive generation/load patterns, and recent commissioned generators in Victoria and southern NSW which could potentially mean higher transfers into NSW under some generation/load scenarios.
The revised constraint equation includes generators in southern NSW, north-west Victoria and hydro generation at Mt. Beauty on the left-hand side as well as VIC1-NSW1 and Murraylink. Full details on the limits advice are to be published on 18/08/2022 on the AEMO website: https://aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/system-operations/congestion-information-resource/limits-advice
The constraint is most likely to bind when there is low Vic demands and high transfers to NSW. When it binds it will restrict Vic to NSW transfers and southern NSW units.
This revised limit will be implemented to the following constraint equation at 1000 hrs Thursday 18th August 2022.

Update to SA to Victoria limits for Para SVC outage
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
AEMO has been working with ElectraNet on a review of the oscillatory stability limits for the Para SVC outage for flows from South Australia to Victoria.
From that review the these limits from SA to Vic have been increased by 50 MW. The limit on Heywood has changed to 470 MW and for Heywood + Murraylink to 620 MW when the oscillatory stability monitoring is in service. If oscillatory monitoring is not in service the 50 MW increase will not apply.
The revised constraints were implemented in the constraint set S-PA_VC1 at 1300 hrs Friday 24th June 2022:
S:VS_PASVC_570OSC_AT
S:VS_PA_SVC_620
S:V_PASVC_420OSC_AT
S:V_PA_SVC_470
SV_470_DYN
AEMO and ElectraNet are continuing their studies on the limits for the Para SVC outage to determine if further increases can be made.

Update to Vic to NSW transient stability limit
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
AEMO has completed a comprehensive review of the system normal transient stability limit for loss of a Hazelwood to South Morang 500 kV line for flows from Victoria to New South Wales. The revised limit takes into account a larger range of inertias, demands, interconnector flows and many different plants online. The revised limit is generally lower than the existing limit due to lower demands and inertias in the Victorian system since the last review back in 2016. However, it is expected the revised limit will normally be under-cut by the Victorian export voltage collapse limit for loss of all APD potlines.
The revised constraint equation includes generators in southern NSW and generation in Victoria on the left-hand side as well as interconnectors. Full details on the limits advice are to be published on 04/04/2022 on the AEMO website: https://aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/system-operations/congestion-information-resource/limits-advice
This revised limit will be implemented to the Victorian system normal constraint set V-NIL at 1000 hrs Tuesday 5th April 2022, with the following changes:
Constraint equations to remove:
- V::N_NIL_V
- V::N_NIL_S
- V::N_NIL_Q1
- V::N_NIL_Q2
Constraint equations to add:
- V::N_NIL_V1
- V::N_NIL_V2
- V::N_NIL_O1
- V::N_NIL_O2
These constraint equation changes have already been applied in AEMO's PreProduction systems.
