In the prior article we noted the tripping of four separate units (three at Yallourn – possibly due to some network issues). So we’ve guessed which-sat-where in the time-series frequency trace.
Paul was one of the founders of Global-Roam in February 2000. He is currently the CEO of the company and the principal author of WattClarity. Writing for WattClarity has become a natural extension of his work in understanding the electricity market, enabling him to lead the team in developing better software for clients.
Before co-founding the company, Paul worked as a Mechanical Engineer for the Queensland Electricity Commission in the early 1990s. He also gained international experience in Japan, the United States, Canada, the UK, and Argentina as part of his ES Cornwall Memorial Scholarship.
It appears that there was some large(ish) trip in demand somewhere on the Queensland network, given the spike in frequency at ~07:28 on Tuesday 14th October 2025.
Noting a large 582MW drop in ‘Market Demand’ in Victoria this morning (Thu 10th April 2025) – as captured in this ‘Notification’ alert in ez2view at 08:31 (NEM time).
