At 16:01 on April 10, 2025, a system frequency dip was observed from the Global-Roam frequency logger which records at 100 millisecond intervals.
In this article we present three charts using the frequency data to provide an initial point of reference for any future analysis that, time permitting, we may perform.
Frequency dipped to 49.824 Hz and spent some time near the lower NOFB
Zooming in we observe some variability in the measurements between 16:01:15 and 16:01:23
The decline happened over relatively long period leading to only moderate rates of change
Linton is a Senior Software Engineer and Market Analyst, who joined Global-Roam in August 2020.
Before joining the company, Linton worked at the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) for seven years, including four years as an analyst within their demand forecasting team. Before entering the energy sector, he worked as an air quality scientist in the Czech Republic.
Investing some time over the weekend with a some higher-speed data on output of rooftop solar PV systems across VIC and SA reveals some interesting observations about what happened on Friday 31st January 2020 in conjunction with the transmission damage and Heywood trip.
One of the many data sets being crunched as part of our analytical efforts underpinning the development of ‘GenInsights21’ is system frequency. In this short article today, we share some initial observations on how it has been changing.
Various authors have shared articles about frequency, frequency control and Regulation FCAS in recent times (including 6 from Linton). Here’s three things that jumped out to me in these pieces of analysis.
