Unit Trip at Callide B1 on Tuesday 13th February 2024

Posted by Paul McArdle Tuesday, February 13 2024 Topic: 2024-02-13 VIC 'Significant Power System Event', Summer 2023-24 in the NEM

Whilst ~95% of the attention today is on what’s unfolding in Victoria today (not forgetting Tassie as well), it’s also worth noting that CS Energy has released some information about what happened at Callide C4 in May 2021 … and, coincident with the day of the release (but unrelated), Callide B1 as tripped:

2024-02-13-at-17-30-ez2view-CALLB1

As noted in the snapshot from ez2view above, the unit tripped from 308MW in the 15:40 dispatch interval (NEM time), and that this outage was not previously notified in the ‘Generator Outages’ widget in ez2view.
