Planned frequency tests in Tasmania on 18/05/2018
Frequency tests in Tasmania have been arranged between AEMO and relevant participants.
Testing involves making selective changes to AEMO's AGC control system, and to some of generating units' governors controls in Tasmania to measure the effect on Tasmanian frequency control under normal operating conditions.
Scheduled time of the test is between 1100 hrs - 1500 hrs on 18/05/2018
Market Participants in mainland regions will not be affected by the tests.

Planned outage of Tailem Bend - South East 275kV No 1 line in the SA region beginning on 04/06/2018
The Tailem Bend - South East 275kV No 1 line and Tailem Bend 275kV West Bus in South Australia (SA) region are planned to be out of service from 0800 hrs on 04/06/2018 to 1730 hrs on 15/06/2018.
During this outage, SA will remain connected to the rest of the NEM via the Tailem Bend - South East 275kV No 2 line and the 132kV network.
A credible contingency event on the Tailem Bend - South East 275kV No 2 line or Tailem Bend - Tunkillo 275 kV line during this planned outage will sever the 275kV connections between the NEM and SA. If SA remains connected to the NEM via the 132kV network, this will pose a system security issue.
If one of the above credible contingencies occurs, 35 MW of raise and lower regulation FCAS will be sourced from within SA.
If this occurs, AEMO will take all necessary steps as outlined in Section 6.1 of SO-OP-3715 Power System Security Guideline to separate the 132kV network and therefore manage an orderly separation of SA from the NEM.
