Also worth noting in the same bundle of analysis is Friday 20th January 2023, which looked as follows (in terms of Aggregate Raw Off-Target across Semi-Scheduled units:
We see that, from around the time the sun rose on the day the vast majority of dispatch intervals feature collective under-performance. But this flips from around 15:25 with a bunch of instances of over-performance seen together, with the largest being AggROT = -497MW at 16:25 on the day.
This is another event that might be further explored in subsequent extensions to this Case Study.

Looking back at Tuesday 13th February 2024 there’s consistently large aggregate under-performance (compared to Target) across all Semi-Scheduled units in the NEM through daylight hours. The reason for the increased procurement of Regulation Raise.
In today’s article (a third snippet from GenInsights Quarterly Update for Q4 2022) we take a look at levels of large ‘Aggregate Raw Off-Target’ (i.e. large collective deviations away from Target), which continue to grow for the Semi-Scheduled category and remind us of that question …
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.
