Possible intervention to manage power system security in SA Region

The synchronous generating units currently expected to be synchronised in SA from 2200 hrs 02/01/2024 will be inadequate to maintain a secure operating state in SA.
AEMO may need to intervene by issuing a direction requiring one or more SA synchronous generating unit(s) to operate or remain synchronised to maintain power system security in SA.

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE.

Update - Lightning vulnerable equipment in QLD region

Special Reclassification of Transmission Equipment during lightning

Refer to AEMO Electricity Market Notice 112581 and 112884.

At 1424 hrs 21/12/2023, the Middle Ridge 275 kV circuit breakers 5432 and 5422 tripped. This offloaded the H14 Middle Ridge No.2 and No. 3 275/110 kV transformers

The cause of the trip was identified as due to lightning.

In accordance with SO_OP_3715, AEMO now considers the H14 Middle Ridge No. 2 and No. 3 275/110 kV transformers to be vulnerable due to lightning.
