Using the ElectraNet 2024 TAPR to locate the lines with unplanned outage (on Thursday evening 17th October 2024)

Earlier we noted ‘Destructive Winds disrupt (and damage) transmission network in South Australia on Thursday (evening) 17th October 2024’.

Curiosity got the better of me so I grabbed the ElectraNet 2024 TAPR and (using page 48) put together the following picture to show the rough location of the transmission disruptions:

Times shown (in NEM time) are the times noted in the Market Notices in the earlier article (i.e. when the ‘unplanned outage’ occurred, not when the Notices were published).
