Reader Beware … just because you’re reading more about coal unit outages here in recent days, it does not necessarily mean that these outages are happening more frequently!
———————-
Yesterday evening we wrote about ‘System frequency drop with trip at Loy Yang A4 on Wednesday 14th August 2024’.
The unit came back online overnight, but (early afternoon) the unit has come back offline – as captured in this record of the alert from ez2view ‘Notifications’ widget at 12:05:
I have not further into what’s happening at this particular unit – but worth noting that there are (quite unusually) three of the four units offline at the station currently – as captured in this snapshot of the ‘Bids & Offers’ widget in ez2view at 12:45:
We see that the station dropped from 4 to 3 units online on Monday 5th August 2024, just prior to the second bout of volatility that day. There’s been 1, 2 or 3 units out simultaneously in the 10 days since.
This is something we might delve into later, if time permits.
