Five days after the AER released its quarterly review, the AEMO has released its Quarterly Energy Dynamics for 2024 Q1 … as the second leg of the triptych of detailed quarterly reviews.
Almost 2.5 years since we released GenInsights21, today we’re publishing this article that contains a precis of the analysis included as Appendix 27 under the title ‘Exploring Wind Diversity’.
On Thu 18th April 2024 the AER released its review of 2024 Q1.
A short note (on Thursday morning 18th April 2024) about how (and some questions why) aggregate wind farm production in the NEM is back, earlier than initially forecast.
Taking a quick look at the dispatch interval through this period of low aggregate wind harvest that also saw lowest aggregate VRE (Wind + Large Solar).
A quick look at how the current spell of low wind production has coincided with (and contributed to) a rise in futures prices.
An accompanying article, to update this trend of long-range production statistics for all wind farms (aggregated) across the NEM.
A quick look at a period of low wind harvest across the NEM in April 2024 that’s already stretched ~7 days and looks like it might have more days to come …
A short article to record low wind, particularly in SA and VIC on Monday morning 15th April 2024 – hence elevated prices.
Another update from the Australian during the week with respect to the Federal Court proceedings with respect to Callide C (particularly unit C4).
A belated article recording how (on Friday 12th April at 10:48) the Sheffield – Farrell No.2 220 kV line tripped during restoration due to fault on the line, disconnecting ~550MW of major industrial load in Tasmania.
A few separate questions about Callide C3 and C4 in recent days prompts this short status update on both units.
Whilst thinking about interconnectors, there’s an outage currently underway on Murraylink.
AEMO note that (from 10:00 on Wed 10th April 2024) the QNI export limit will increase to a possible 850MW … we take a quick look at history.
It’s Monday 8th April, the two Eraring units that tripped last week are back online – and I wonder what the cause of the coincident trip was?
Fourth article on Wed 3rd April 2024, pertaining to the earlier coincident trip of ER01 and ER02 units at Eraring Power Station.
AEMO Market Notice 115944 notifies that the coincident trip of ER01 and ER02 was at 13:22 NEM time on Wednesday 3rd April 2024.
In this second short article for the day, we Time-Travel ez2view back to 4 x Dispatch Intervals surrounding the coincident trip of ER01 and ER02 at Eraring Power Station.
A first article noting simultaneous trip of Eraring units 1 and 2 on Wednesday afternoon 3rd April 2024.
In this article we look again at Tuesday 13th February 2024 (Victoria’s ‘Major Power System Event’) and sum up the impact of the event on net exports from Victoria over a 14-hour period, but particularly around ~13:08 when the towers were downed.
