Update to system strength requirements in North Queensland
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
Refer to market notice 75482
AEMO and Powerlink are continuing to investigate system strength requirements in North Queensland. A revision to the requirements will be implemented at 1100hrs today.
Combination 6 has been revised and is now:
3 x Stanwell, 2 x Callide B + C, 3 x Gladstone, 9 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 4 x Kareeya: 50% output for Sun Metals and Haughton and 65% output for Mt Emerald WF
If these combinations are not met all three generators have a limit of 0 MW and 0 inverters.
The constraint equations are: Q_NIL_STRGTH_MEWF, Q_NIL_STRGTH_HAUSF, Q_NIL_STRGTH_SMSF.

New system normal constraint equation in Victoria for voltage collapse on trip of Ballarat - Waubra - Ararat line
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
In the event of a trip of the Ballarat - Waubra - Ararat 220 kV line the Ararat, Crowlands, Bulgana, Murra Warra and Waubra wind farms will be tripped off. AEMO has completed work on a revised voltage collapse limit for this contingency which will replace the existing 600 MW cap on these generators. FCAS constraint equations have also been developed for this contingency.
The energy constraint equation includes generators in south-west NSW and north-west Victoria on the left-hand side as well as VIC1-NSW1.
The following constraint equations will be implemented at 1000 hrs Monday 25th May 2020.

Revised System Strength limits in North Queensland

The constraint equation is expected to limit generation from the three generators depending on power system conditions. The generators are Mt Emerald Wind Farm, Haughton Solar Farm and Sun Metals Solar Farm.
The constraint equations are: Q_NIL_STRGTH_MEWF, Q_NIL_STRGTH_HAUSF, Q_NIL_STRGTH_SMSF. These will be implemented at 1500hrs EST today.
The minimum generator combinations and limits are:

Reclassification of QNI SPAR as a credible contingency
AEMO MARKET NOTICE
After 25th August 2018 AEMO reclassified the loss of NSW to Qld (QNI) interconnected as a credible contingency when lightning is nearby (as per SO_OP_3715 section 11.4). The limits on QNI under this reclassification are based on the available FCAS in Queensland and NSW - normally the limit is between 300-400 MW in either direction.
Following an investigation TransGrid and Powerlink have made setting changes to the auto reclose settings on QNI and provided AEMO with a new reclassification limit on QNI. Now under similar conditions to 25th August the tripped single phases on QNI would reclose and NSW and Qld is not expected to separate.
The new limit of 850 MW will be activated at 1400 hrs November 15th 2018 for use in future reclassifications of QNI for a single phase fault on both circuits.
