This is the 13th Case Study in this series (looking at each of 98 extreme incidents). We're looking at an event on 15th October 2018 that seems to...
Guest author, Mark Todoroff, examines operational demand figures for each region to quantify the impact of COVID-19 on the NEM.
This is the 13th Case Study in this series (looking at each of 98 extreme incidents). Note I have skipped 2 events earlier in 2018 and will come...
This is the 12th Case Study in this series (looking at each of 98 extreme incidents). This one is simpler than the 11th Case Study!
In this 5th article in a series, we look at the impact on electricity consumption of Stage 4 Lockdown associated 'State of Disaster' in Victoria
Guest author, Andrew Wilson, reviews the performance of his home solar + battery system at the one year mark after installation.
This is the 11th Case Study in a series (looking at extreme outcomes of Aggregate Raw Off-Target for Semi-Sched units). We've rolled into 2018, now and (coincidence?) this...
This is the 10th Case Study in a series working through 98 discrete dispatch intervals of extreme Aggregate Raw Off-Target for Semi-Scheduled events. This Case Study looks at...
Some quick notes today, to document high-level data (to be explored later) relating to some significantly depressed solar harvest data today due to the widespread cloud/wind event.
This 9th case study in this series advances us into October 2017, where we see another example of an extreme outcome for collective under-performance. Most notably this happens...
This 8th case study in this series presents tabular results for all Semi-Scheduled DUIDs which were operational at the time of the SA System Black event.
This 7th case study in a series takes a look at 1 of 3 dispatch intervals during 2016 that saw extreme under-performance (in aggregate) across all Semi-Scheduled plant.
This 6th case study in a series takes a look at only 1 of 5 Dispatch Intervals featuring over-performance in a total of 98 that saw extreme Aggregate...
For the 5th Case Study in this series (looking at individual outcomes of extremes in aggregate Raw Off-Target performance across all Semi-Scheduled plant) we look at an even...
Guest author, Warwick Forster, examines the delayed but impending move to 5-minute settlement for the NEM and the potential effects on utility scale storage.
This morning the AEMO have called for expressions of interest for the 'Unscheduled Short-Notice RERT' for summer 2020-21.
After publishing three Case Studies on Saturday, this 4th Case Study in a long series is much more complex - with 8 different Semi-Scheduled Wind Farm units across...
Third case study today - and last one looking back at 2013. This one is a bit more complex than the first two.
Like was the case on 4th July 2013, the cause of this large Aggregate Raw Off-Target result (across all Semi-Scheduled Generators) was a single unit trip.
Does not take long to see why this particular dispatch interval was one of the few dispatch intervals (before 2019!) flagged in our top-down analysis of aggregate Raw...
