Clements Gap Wind Farm still offline, on Friday morning 18th October 2024.

As noted in this ‘(Initial) Replay of Thursday evening 17th October 2024 in SA’:

1)  the Snowtown 1 Wind Farm came sharply offline in the 18:45 dispatch interval (NEM time) on Thursday 17th October 2024.   But it’s back online this morning.

2)  additionally, the Clements Gap Wind Farm came offline in the 18:50 dispatch interval.

As we can see in this snapshot from the ‘Unit dashboard’ widget at 09:40 this morning, the Clements Gap Wind Farm is still offline at this point:

Zooming into look at the dispatch intervals at 18:50 yesterday, we see this:

Briefly:

1)  At 18:50 we see:

(a)  autobidding of no consequence; and

(b)  the unit tripped offline … leading to a ‘Dispatch Error’ of +48MW.

2)  At 18:55 we see:

(a)  autobidding of no consequence; and

(b)  the self-forecast has not adjusted to the unit being offline, so another large ‘Dispatch Error’ (at +43MW).

3)  At 19:00 we see:

(a)  autobidding of no consequence; and

(b)  notably no rebid of MaxAvail in the bid; and

(c)  the unit switches back to AWEFS as the source of the availability, which delivers a 0MW target.

That’s all for now…
