A collation of articles about the ‘N-MNYS_5_WG_CLOSE’ constraint set, which is an outage-related constraint set in place because there is an ‘outage of the Marulan – Yass (5) 330kV line [with Wagga-Yass 132kV parallel lines CLOSED]’
As time permits, we’re chipping away at an exploration of the volatility in QLD and NSW on Thursday 7th November 2024. In this article we take another step in understanding the ‘N-MNYS_5_WG_CLOSE ’ constraint set.
There were not as many SMS pings on Friday 8th November 2024 as there were for price alerts the day before, with the only 4 dispatch intervals in QLD and NSW above $1,000/MWh.
We’ve selected three dispatch intervals through the long run of volatility in the QLD and NSW regions on Thursday 7th November 2024 to help illustrate:
1) How the issue of ‘congestion’ or ‘constraints’ in the NEM is so complex;
2) But also why it’s so significant to price and dispatch outcomes.
