Possible intervention to manage power system security in SA Region
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.

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.
