Revised System Strength limits in North Queensland
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
AEMO and Powerlink are continuing to investigate system strength requirements in North Queensland.
Through this work, AEMO and Powerlink have identified the need, depending on power system conditions, to constrain the output of three generators in North Queensland to maintain power system security.
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:
1 - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 4 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 4 x Kareeya, 2 x Barron Gorge: 100% output
2 - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 4 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 4 x Kareeya, 1 x Barron Gorge: 80% output
3 - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 4 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 2 x Kareeya, 1 x Townsville GT: 80% output
4 - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 4 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 2 x Kareeya, 1 x Barron Gorge: 70% output
5 - 3 x Stanwell, 1 x Callide B, 1 x Callide C, 4 x Gladstone, 10 x Total Stanwell+Callide+Gladstone, 4 x Kareeya: 70% output
If these combinations are not met all three generators have a limit of 0 MW and 0 inverters.

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.
Constraint Set:
I-QNI_ONE_PHASE_N-2
