On Friday morning 15th November 2024 we see the return to service of both YWPS1 and LYA2 – coincident with the cancellation of Victorian directions for System Strength.
On Thursday morning 14th November 2024, the AEMO has directed 4 different units to operate, to cover a potential system strength shortfall in the Victorian region.
It’s not (yet?) a frequent occurrence, so worth noting that AEMO has directed 2 units at Murray to synchronise and operate as a synchronous condenser from 08:00 (NEM time) on Thursday 24th October 2024 (to protect against low System Strength)
The AEMO has issued its (second* ever) ‘Minimum System Load’ alert, via Market Notice 118421, with respect to Victoria for this Saturday 28th September 2024.
Market Notice 118151 jumped out at me, because it pertains to an AEMO Direction to a Market Participant in NSW. Can’t recall seeing that very often?
A challenging sequence of events is detailed in the preliminary report on load shedding in NSW on 8 July 2024.
First article today, recording a new ‘lowest ever’ point for demand in Victoria (Sun 31st Dec 2023), and possible intervention from AEMO has it looks to drop further, leading to possible grid instability.
A quick article for Friday (3rd Feb 2023) morning, looking ahead to this evening and what AEMO’s current forecasts are saying for this evening.
Hot on the heels of a new low point for Operational Demand in South Australia on the weekend, this evening AEMO warns of an ‘elevated risk of contingent disconnection of Distributed PV’ tomorrow (Wed 19th Oct 2022).
Dan Lee provides some exploratory calculations in order to estimate the total cost of maintaining electricity supply throughout a very turbulent June.
On Thursday 18th August 2022 the AEMO has released its report into the Market Suspension during June 2022. Will make for interesting reading …
A short note flagging AEMO’s publication (dated 15th August 2022) about compensation payments for the June 2022 events.
Second (linked) article this evening, spelling out the two theories we’re aware of with respect to why some participants might have withdrawn capacity from the NEMDE dispatch/pricing run in June 2022 – leading to the AEMO Suspending the Market.
Marcelle explores how settlement prices are set and how dispatch is operating during the current market suspension.
Despite it being overtaken by today’s Market Suspension, with its own compensation arrangements – still might be useful for readers to be aware of these two sources of discussion about the two different sources of compensation that seemed to be at play for a few days under Administered Price Caps (APC) following Cumulative Price Threshold (CPT) being reached.
