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
- Q_NIL_STRGTH_MEWF_I

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 voltage stability and system strength constraints in North Queensland

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE


Refer to market notice 102074


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 equations for system strength and voltage stability have been revised.

A revision to the constraint equations will be implemented at 1400 hrs on Thursday 2nd November 2023.

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.

The constraint equations in the Q-NIL set below will be modified:

? Q_NIL_STRGTH_KBWF
? Q_NIL_STRGTH_KBWF
? Replace Q^NIL_FNQ_MEWF and Q^NIL_FNQ_WRSVC with new equation Q^NIL_FNQ_8905

Declaration of electricity market resumption

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
Declaration of electricity market resumption

Refer initial AEMO Electricity Market Notice 107545

AEMO declares that the suspension of the spot market in Victoria will end at 1700 hrs on 23 April 2023.

The TNSP has taken sufficient steps to exclude the original event having influence on market processes and AEMO assesses that the possibility of suspending the spot market within the next 24 hours due to the same cause is minimal. AEMO also determines that it can operate the market in accordance with the provisions of the NER.

Electricity market suspension change of pricing regime

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
Electricity market suspension change of pricing regime
Refer initial AEMO Electricity Market Notice 107545

The Spot Market remains suspended in the following regions with the following pricing regimes from Trading Interval 0435 hrs on 23 April 2023 until further notice:
Victoria from Market Suspension Schedule Pricing to Dispatch Pricing (refer NER clause 3.14.5(d))


The cause of the original issue which affected all Victoria SCADA has not yet been resolved and may still influence market processes, hence, the Spot Market suspension will continue at this stage. However, AEMO has determined it is practicable to dispatch and price the suspended region in accordance with NER clauses 3.8 and 3.9.

Tasmanian Regulation FCAS changes - Wednesday 5th April 2023

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE

AEMO are changing the procurement of Regulation FCAS for the TAS region.

This change is based on advice received from TasNetworks, following a review of operation of the TAS region with the end of the reclassification of Basslink.

Refer to AEMO Electricity market notice 105443.

Following this change Regulation FCAS requirements for the TAS region will only be procured from within TAS.

This change will be implemented from 1000 on Wed 5th April.

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.
