Lines: Dederang - Glenrowan No.1 & No.3 220 kV Lines and Numurkah Solar Farm

Duration: 14/10/2021 14:11 until further notice

Constraint set(s) invoked:
V-NIL_DDGN_NSF_N-2 Constraint set contains the following interconnector(s) on the left hand side:

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE

The Heywood No.1 500 kV busbar in the Victoria (VIC) region is planned to be out of service from:
- 0400 hrs to 1000 hrs on 25/10/2021;
- 0400 hrs to 1000 hrs on 26/10/2021;
- 0300 hrs to 1000 hrs on 27/10/2021;
- 0300 hrs to 1000 hrs on 28/10/2021; and
- 1400 hrs to 1600 hrs on 29/10/2021.

A credible contingency event during this planned outage could cause synchronous separation of the South Australia (SA) region from the rest of the NEM. If separation occurs, load may be interrupted due to the operation of the Automatic Under Frequency Load Shedding (AUFLS) scheme in SA.

The credible separation contingency is managed as follows:

- When power transfer is from SA to VIC, contingency lower FCAS will be sourced from SA.
- When power transfer is from VIC to SA, due to the 47-52Hz island separation frequency band advised by the SA jurisdiction, contingency raise FCAS is not sourced in SA and the AUFLS scheme may respond to low frequency events.
- Power transfer will be restricted on VIC - SA interconnector (Heywood interconnector) to manage system security following the loss of the next contingency.

Forecast capacity reserves in the SA region are currently sufficient to meet electricity demand during the planned outage.

The following constraint sets have been invoked for this outage:

F-I-HYSE
S-X_BC_CP
V-HYTX_M12
V-HY_500BUS
I-VS_050
