Update to Victorian system normal Kerang voltage stability limit
AEMO has completed a review of a system normal voltage stability limit in north west Victoria as a result of commissioning of BESS at Koorangie. The revised limit manages pre-contingent flow on the Wemen to Koorangie 220 kV line to avoid voltage collapse at Koorangie, Kerang or Wemen on loss of the Crowlands to Bulgana to Horsham or Horsham to Murra Warra to Kiamal 220 kV line. The revised constraint equation includes the generators in south-west NSW and north-west Victoria on the left-hand side as well as Murraylink and V-SA. Full details on the limits advice are to be published shortly on the AEMO website: https://www.aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/system-operations/congestion-information-resource/limits-advice
The revised limit will be implemented at 0900 hrs on Monday 31st March 2025, by updating V^^V_NIL_KGTS.
For full details on the factors this constraint equation has now been loaded into AEMO's pre-production systems.

Yass to Wagga control scheme change - removal system normal constraint equations in NSW managing 990, 991 and 970 132kV lines
Transgrid has advised AEMO of an update to the Yass overload trip scheme. The scheme is normally armed managing line flow on 990, 991, 970 132kV lines and it is now operating both directions of flow from Wagga to Yass.
Based on this advice, the following constraint equations will be removed from the NSW system normal constraint sets N-NIL and N-NIL_991, effective immediately.
N>>NIL_970_051
N>>NIL_990_051
N>>NIL_991_051

Update to system strength requirements in North Queensland
Refer to market notice 121468
AEMO and Powerlink are continuing to investigate system strength requirements in North Queensland.
The system normal equations have been revised to remove Gladstone >=1 requirement.
A revision to the constraint equations will be implemented at 1200 hrs on Tuesday 4th February 2025.
The new combinations have now published in a limits advice document on AEMO's website. For more information refer to the new limits advice: https://www.aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/system-operations/congestion-information-resource/limits-advice
This advice contains all the combinations for Queensland for system normal cases. Additional information has been included in the limit advice to clarify the requirement to disconnect all inverters/turbines under certain system conditions.
The constraint equation in the Q-NIL set of the form below will be modified:
-Q_NIL_STRGTH_xxxx
-Q_NIL_STRGTH_xxxx_I
