Managing outages that create a credible risk of SA islanding
From 9th Oct 2024 AEMO will change constraints used during outages that create a credible risk of SA islanding.
From this date AEMO will:
1) Increase the maximum allowable flow on the V-SA interconnector from 50 MW to 250 MW in the VIC to SA direction, where the transmission outages is a planned outage.
2) Operate the SA region to the default 49-51 Hz target frequency containment band following a contingency event resulting in actual SA islanding. In order to meet this requirement, AEMO may now procure Contingency Raise FCAS locally from the SA region during these outages.
These changes reflect updated advice received by AEMO from the SA Jurisdictional System Security Coordinator.
The first network outage affected by this change is planned for 14th October 2024.

Update to system normal constraint equation in NSW for transient voltage stability in south-west NSW
Refer to market notice 92840.
Transgrid has advised AEMO of an update to the transient voltage stability limit in south-west NSW for loss of Darlington Point to Wagga (63) 330 kV line. The limit will include terms for the Darlington Point and Riverina BESS.
The following constraint equation will be updated with the above changes at 1100 hrs Friday 20th September 2024.
N::N_NIL_63
For full details on the formulation, the new constraint equation has now been loaded into AEMO's pre-production systems.
