A short note with this ez2view snapshot at 09:30 (NEM time) on Monday 12th October 2026, to record a brief intermission to service at Project Energy Connect:

2026-10-12-at-09-30-ez2view-InterconnectorDashboard-NSW1-SA1-offline

 

 

We see that:

1)  The outage of ‘both Bundey to Buronga (6C and 6F) and both Buronga to Dinawan (6G and 6H) 330kV lines’ … which:

(a) reflected in the ‘I-X_BDBU_BUDW’ constraint set;

(b)  and hence the paired constraint equations :

i.  ‘NS_ZERO’ constraint equation on the export limit

ii.  ‘SN_ZERO’ constraint equation on the import limit

2)  With an invocation scheduled as follows:

(a)  Beginning Sunday evening 11th October 2026 at the 17:35 dispatch interval;

(b)  Ending on Thursday evening 15th October 2026 at the 19:30 dispatch interval.

3)  Also highlighted was a brief period at the start of the outage (from 17:50 to 18:35) registering significant Flow Dispatch Error:

(a)  Resulting from flows continuing to the east

(b)  But with Limits (and hence Targets) already set to 0MW.
