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.

Updated NSW system normal voltage stability limit
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
Refer to market notice 105936?
The Murraylink Very Fast Runback (VFRB) scheme was modified to increase the capacity of the network due to the increase in generation in the area. The scheme was changed so Murraylink VFRB could be activated / de-activated depending on the time of day on the monitored 220kV lines in north-west Victoria.?
Transgrid has advised AEMO on a revision to the X5 voltage collapse limit with this change to VFRB. This will now be managed by two limits.?
The following constraint equation changes will be implemented at 0900 hrs on Thursday 16th March 2023:
N^^N_NIL_X5_BEKG (replaces N^^N_NIL_3)
N^^N_NIL_X5_BESH (new)?
For full details on the factors on constraint equations and all the constraint equation changes - these have now been loaded into AEMO's pre-production systems.?

Update to system strength requirements 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 Kaban wind farm in Far North Queensland, the system normal equations have been revised to include following combinations.
-If Stanwell >=2, Stanwell + Calllide >=3, Gladstone >= 1, Stanwell + Callide + Gladstone >= 7, Kareeya >=0, Haughton Syncon status = ON/OFF, North Queensland load >=250 MW,
Ross+FNQ load >=100 MW, limit Kaban Windfarm to 100% (with Haughton Syncon ON), 0% (with Haughton Syncon Syncon OFF) and no limit to other NQLD Plants.
A revision to the constraint equations will be implemented at 1400 hrs on Wednesday 1st March 2023.
The new 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. Additional information has been included in the limit advice to clarify the requirement to disconnect all inverters/turbines under certain system conditions.
The constraint equation in the Q-NIL set of the form below will be modified:
Q_NIL_STRGTH_XXXX

New Victorian system normal voltage stability limit
AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE
AEMO has identified a new voltage collapse issue in south-west Victoria. The voltage collapse occurs in the south-west region for loss of the Haunted Gully to Moorabool 500 kV line with simultaneous trip of both APD potlines as per Market Notice 91405.
The limit will manage flow towards Moorabool on the cut-set of Haunted Gully to Moorabool and Mortlake to Moorabool 500 kV lines.
The new constraint equation includes generators in south-west Victoria on the left-hand side as well as Heywood interconnector. Full details on the limits advice are to be published on 30th August 2022 on the AEMO website: https://aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/system-operations/congestion-information-resource/limits-advice
The following constraint equation will be implemented and added to constraint set V-NIL at 1000 hrs on Tuesday 30th August 2022:
V^^V_NIL_SWVIC
For full details on the factors this constraint equation has now been loaded into AEMO's pre-production systems.
