First operations of any BDU (Wandoan BESS) on Tuesday 16th July 2024

I’m at the Clean Energy Councils’ Australian Clean Energy Summit today and tomorrow (along with a few other members of our team at Global-Roam Pty Ltd… so reach out, if you are also there and want to catch up).

But I could not help but notice a series of alerts from a copy of ez2view we have running that was specifically configured post 3rd June 2024 to highlight just what we saw at 13:00 today:

Following the AEMO’s implementation of the IESS Rule Change, there are a number of batteries (which have been operating to date as two separate DUIDs) registered in the AEMO production systems with their new single DUID bi-directional unit (BDU) identifier.

We wondered which would be the first to operate in this way … and it’s Wandoan Battery in QLD, as seen above.

Here’s the reconfigured ‘Unit Dashboard’ widget in ez2view that shows a bit more context:

For those who are ez2view clients, note some of the other recent changes to deal with other aspects of the operations of all units, including:

1)  Effective ramp rates (from the bids, or from SCADA);

2)  Conformance obligations (including under ADG).

That’s all for now…
