But it turns out that the trips of YWPS3 and YWPS4 were not the primary drivers of the worst periods of frequency performance across the day.
Instead, as the following 8-hour trend puts in context with the larger frequency disruptions, they looks more like the typical pattern caused by challenges in forecasting/dispatching VRE later in the day:

A quick initial look at two lengthy periods of Non-Conformance at Aldoga Solar Farm on Sunday 12th October, with the first period seeing large negative Dispatch Error, and a blip in system frequency.
In this article we inspect power deviations from dispatched units that would have contributed to the frequency rise, and the deviations that would have contributed to the correction.
