Burst of volatility in QLD and NSW, on Friday evening 15th November 2024

A very quick article on Friday evening 15th November 2024 with snapshots of one ez2view windows (with a different collage of widgets), time-travelled back to the 18:35 dispatch interval (NEM time) from a little later in the current day (i.e. before ‘next day public’ data is available).

Briefly, with respect to the annotations (and noting some similarities to what happened on Thursday 7th November 2024) we see:

1)  Spot prices are up in QLD and NSW

2)  We see that the VIC1-NSW1 interconnector is constrained so that it can’t flow north or south

…. remember that we noted that that ‘VIC1-NSW1 interconnector unable to Target Flow north, on Thursday afternoon-evening 7th November 2024’.

3)  We see that the the ‘N-MNYS_5_WG_CLOSE’ Constraint Set  is again bound

…. remember we already wrote about ‘Reviewing the ‘N-MNYS_5_WG_CLOSE’ Constraint Set, as a major factor in recent northern volatility’.

4)  We also see the Negative Residue Management constraint bound, limiting flows on VIC1-NSW1 in the other direction

5)  Finally (as a curiosity) we see a big ramp up at Collector Wind Farm that others might like to drill into with their own copies of ez2view.

That’s all for now…
