Update to system strength constraints in North Queensland
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
Refer to market notice 110677
AEMO and Powerlink are continuing to investigate system strength requirements in North Queensland.
Due to commissioning of new feeder 8905 (H13 Ross - H39 Woree) 275kV line in Far North Queensland, the system normal system strength equations for low North Queensland demands and all Karreya stations out of service conditions have been revised.
A revision to the constraint equations will be implemented at 1400 hrs on Tuesday 20th February 2024.
The new system strength 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.
Below constraint equations in the Q-NIL set will be modified:
- Q_NIL_STRGTH_KBWF
- Q_NIL_STRGTH_KBWF_I
- Q_NIL_STRGTH_HAUSF
- Q_NIL_STRGTH_HAUSF_I
- Q_NIL_STRGTH_MEWF

Updated Victorian system normal voltage oscillation limit
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
AEMO has completed a comprehensive review on voltage oscillation issue in south-west Victoria with consideration of wider asynchronous generators in the area. The voltage oscillation occurs in the south-west region when Heywood interconnector flow is higher than 500 MW from South Australia to Victoria.
The limit will manage the total MW output from Stockyard Hill, Dundonnell and Macarthur wind farms during period when flow on Heywood interconnector higher than 500 MW towards Victoria.
The new constraint equation includes asynchronous generators in south-west Victoria on the left-hand side. This limit is to replace the existing south-west Victoria voltage oscillation limit. Full details on the limits advice are to be published shortly on the AEMO website: https://aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/system-operations/congestion-information-resource/limits-advice
The following changes will be implemented at 1000 hrs on Friday 3rd November 2023
? Constraint equation will be removed from constraint set V-NIL:
V_SHWF_FLT_286
? Constraint equation will be implemented and added to constraint set V-NIL:
V_SH_DD_MAC_FLT_965
For full details on the formulation, the new constraint equation has now been loaded into AEMO's pre-production systems.
For further details on this change please contact terry.liu@aemo.com.au

Update to Victorian system normal constraint equations ID
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
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
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)?

-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
