Browsing through various units and thought I’d post this trend from the 4-second data for both Berrybank Wind Farm 1 and Berrybank Wind Farm 2 in Victoria on Tuesday 13th February 2024 in the 4-second data:
One of three founders of Global-Roam back in 2000, Paul has been CEO of the company since that time.
As an author on WattClarity, Paul's focus has been to help make the electricity market more understandable.
In this article we look again at Tuesday 13th February 2024 (Victoria’s ‘Major Power System Event’) and sum up the impact of the event on net exports from Victoria over a 14-hour period, but particularly around ~13:08 when the towers were downed.
Two months ago prices spiked in QLD on a Sunday afternoon when AEMO lost SCADA data feed. One month ago AEMO published a preliminary report. In the background we have been taking a look…
It’s now seven months since the SCADA outage on Sunday 24th January 2021 – and we’re finally able to complete and publish this (quite long) article exploring some of the implications for units on the LHS of the ‘Q>>NIL_CLWU_RGLC’ constraint equation
From the market data, Berrybank 2’s ups and downs are clearly constraint driven (like Moorabool WF), although it was persistently below target output (by up to 10-15%) between 11:00 and 13:00.
On the other hand Berrybank 1’s availability dropped to low levels then to zero in the half hour following the main event and stayed there for all but a couple of DIs until about 20:00 when it recovered.
