New Victorian system normal voltage stability limit
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
AEMO has identified a new voltage collapse issue in north west Victoria. The voltage collapse occurs at Kerang or Wemen on loss of the Horsham to Murra Warra to Kiamal 220 kV line. Murra Warra wind farm also trips off as a result of this contingency.
The limit will manage post-contingent flow on the Wemen to Kerang 220 kV line to be less than 310 MVA.
The new constraint equation includes generators in south-west NSW and north-west Victoria on the left-hand side as well as Murraylink. Full details on the limits advice are to be published on 17th March 2021 on the AEMO website: https://www.aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/system-operations/congestion-information-resource/limits-advice
The following constraint equation will be implemented at 0700 hrs on Thursday 18th March 2021:

For full details on the factors this constraint equation has now been loaded into AEMO's pre-production systems.

Update - Reclassification of a Non-Credible Contingency Event in Tasmania Region
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
Update - Reclassification of a Non-Credible Contingency Event in TAS Region:
Trip of any Tasmanian Transmission Line and Basslink Interconnector
Refer to AEMO Electricity market notices 47360, 47855 and 53957.
In Dec 2014 AEMO reclassified the loss of any transmission line in Tasmania and Basslink Interconnector to be a credible contingency event, for Basslink flow in the direction of Victoria to Tasmania only. This was subsequently updated to exclude faults on either of the two George Town to Pacific Aluminium 220 kV transmission lines or the George Town to Tamar Valley power station 220 kV transmission line in Jan 2015 and Jun 2016 respectively.
Following a power system event in Tasmania on 29/11/2020, and based on updated information from Market Participants, AEMO has further modified this reclassification.
AEMO will now reclassify the loss of any transmission line in Tasmania and Basslink Interconnector to be a credible contingency event, for Basslink flow in the direction of Victoria to Tasmania only.
As a consequence of this reclassification, AEMO will modify the frequency control ancillary service (FCAS) requirements for Tasmania to all require Contingency FCAS services to be sourced from within Tasmania, for Basslink flow in the direction of Victoria to Tasmania.
The following constraint equations will be updated for the above change at 1300hrs Wednesday 3rd March 2020:

TransGrid has advised AEMO of an update to the voltage collapse limit in south-west NSW for loss of Darlington Point to Wagga (63) 330 kV line. The limit will now include a term for Darlington Point solar farm inverters.
Additionally, AEMO has reviewed the operating margins for the two voltage collapse constraint equations in south-west NSW. The operating margin for N^^N_NIL_2 will be reduced from 45 to 30 and N^^N_NIL_3 reduced from 30 to 10.

Update to Vic to NSW voltage collapse limit
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
Refer to Market Notice 78621
AEMO has completed a further 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 improved reactive modelling in southern NSW which could potentially mean higher transfers into NSW under some generation/load scenarios.
The revised constraint equation includes generators in southern NSW and hydro generation at Mt. Beauty on the left-hand side as well as VIC1-NSW1. Full details on the limits advice are to be published on 11/02/2021 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 Hume NSW unit.
This revised limit will be implemented to the following constraint equation at 1000 hrs Thursday 11th February 2021.

Update to Voltage Stability limits for Murraylink transfers from South Australia to Victoria
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
ElectraNet has advised AEMO of revised voltage stability limits for Murraylink transfers from South Australia to Victoria.
Refer to Market Notice 82079.
The existing limit of 160 MW on Murraylink will be replaced with two voltage stability limits. Only one of the limits would apply depending on whether or not the Monash capacitor banks are available and in-service for switching.
The following constraint sets and equations will be implemented at 1000 hrs Wednesday 13th January 2021:
- constraint set S-NIL containing constraint equation SVML^NIL_MH-CAP_ON.
- constraint set S-MH_CAP (renamed from S-NIL_MN-CAP_OFF) containing constraint SVML^MH-CAP_OFF (renamed from SVML^NIL_MH-CAP_OFF).
Constraint set S-NIL will remain invoked at all times.
Constraint set S-MH_CAP will only be invoked when Monash Capacitors are not available for switching and are out of service or if one or both capacitors are out of service.
The existing equation SVML^NIL_160 in the S-NIL set will be removed.
For full details on the factors these constraint equations have now been loaded into AEMO's pre-production systems.
For further details on these new constraint equations please contact diyoni.hoole@aemo.com.au.
