Update to system normal constraint equation in NSW for voltage collapse at Darlington Point
Refer to Market Notice 75618
TransGrid has advised AEMO on a revision to the Darlington Point to Wagga (63) 330 kV line voltage collapse limit due to upcoming connection of Hillston solar farm.
AEMO has reviewed the limit advice and will update the following constraint equation at 1000 hrs Thursday 23rd September 2021:
N^^N_NIL_2
The limit is for pre-contingent flow on 63 line. The constraint equation includes generators in south-west NSW and north-west Victoria on the left-hand side as well as Murraylink.

Possible intervention to manage power system security in South Australia (SA) Region
Possible intervention to manage power system security in South Australia (SA) Region
The synchronous generating units currently expected to be synchronised in SA from 0130 hrs 23/09/2021 to 0400 hrs 24/09/2021 will be inadequate to maintain sufficient system strength in SA and hence a secure operating state.
AEMO estimates that, in the absence of sufficient market response by 1700 hrs 22/09/2021, 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.
