Minimum System Load 1 (MSL1) in the VIC Region on 27/09/2024

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE

AEMO has detected that there is an elevated risk of insufficient demand to maintain a secure operating state in the Victorian region from 1300 hrs 27/09/2024 to 1330 hrs 27/09/2024.

Minimum regional demand is forecast to be 1879 MW at 1330 hrs, and the advisory threshold is:
o MSL1 - 1915 MW
o MSL2 - 1415 MW
o MSL3 - 915 MW

MSL events are forecast when forecast regional demand is less than the relevant MSL threshold. The forecast regional demand is below the MSL1 threshold.

Refer to NEM Data Dashboard to monitor demand levels: https://aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/data-nem/data-dashboard-nem

AEMO is seeking a market response.

An insufficient market response may require AEMO to take action or intervene to maintain power system security in Victoria. This may result in action such as the direction of scheduled production units, curtailment of non-scheduled production units, and/or a direction to maintain regional demand above required MSL threshold, in both Victoria and South Australia.

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE

AEMO has detected that there is an elevated risk of insufficient demand to maintain a secure operating state in the Victorian region from 1100 hrs to 1400 hrs 28/09/2024.
Minimum regional demand is forecast to be 1638 MW at 1300 hrs, and the advisory threshold is:
- MSL1 - 1865 MW
- MSL2 - 1365 MW
- MSL3 - 865 MW

MSL events are forecast when forecast regional demand is less than the relevant MSL threshold. The forecast regional demand is below the MSL1 threshold.

Refer to NEM Data Dashboard to monitor demand levels: https://aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/data-nem/data-dashboard-nem

AEMO is seeking a market response.

An insufficient market response may require AEMO to take action or intervene to maintain power system security in Victoria. This may result in actions such as recalling network outages, the direction of scheduled production units, curtailment of non-scheduled production units, and/or a direction to maintain regional demand above required MSL threshold, in both Victoria and South Australia.

Update - Lightning vulnerable lines in TAS region

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE.

Update - Lightning vulnerable lines in TAS region

Refer to AEMO Electricity Market Notice 118320 ,118321, 118322

At 1340 hrs 19/09/2024 the Gordon - Chapel St No 1 220 kV line and the Gordon - Chapel St No 2 220 kV line tripped.
The cause of the trip was identified as due to Lightning.

In accordance with SO_OP_3715, AEMO now considers the Gordon - Chapel St No 1 220 kV line and the Gordon - Chapel St No 2 220 kV line to be vulnerable with a category of Vulnerability due to Lightning.

Update to system normal constraint equation in NSW for transient voltage stability in south-west NSW

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE

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.

For further details on these constraint equation please contact ben.blake@aemo.com.au

Update - Non-credible contingency event - TAS region - 19/09/2024

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE.

Update - Non-credible contingency event - TAS region - 19/09/2024

Refer AEMO Electricity Market Notice 118321

At 1446 hrs the Gordon - Chapel St No 1 and No 2 220 kV lines were returned to service.

This non-credible contingency event was caused by lightning. There is no longer any lightning activity in the vicinity of the following lines. Accordingly its classification has reverted to a non-credible contingency event.

Planned outage of Tailem Bend - South East 275 kV transmission line in the South Australia region beginning on 20/09/2024

AEMO ELECTRICITY MARKET NOTICE

The Tailem Bend - South East No 1 275 kV line in the South Australian (SA) region is planned to be out of service from 2100 hrs on 20/09/2024 to 0530 hrs on 21/09/2024.

A credible contingency event during this planned outage could cause synchronous separation of the SA region from the rest of the NEM.

During this planned outage:
- Power transfer will be restricted across the VIC - SA interconnector (Heywood interconnector); and
- Post contingent FCAS will be sourced within SA following Separation event.

Refer AEMO Network Outage Schedule (NOS) for further details.
