Theoretically, if a self-forecasting system never offers forecasts for more than 60% of intervals it may perpetually skip the performance assessment and the system could continue for use unsuppressed.
We summarise how wind units are using self-forecasting to-date. The analysis leads us to consider where upcoming market change may lead the industry.
James Tetlow of Overwatch Energy shares this article which is adapted from his presentation about BESS operations in the NEM at the recent All-Energy conference in Melbourne.
Today (Tue 23rd May) is the go-live date for AEMO's EMMS v5.2 - which will contain new data for some market enhancements. Here's a quick look at where this first change will appear in...
Inspired by the recent article by Tristan Edis (who referenced the GSD2022 in analysis of curtailment of some wind and solar farms), Allan O'Neil follows on with more analysis of the two main types...
We delve deeper into dispatch availability self-forecasts and the assessment process to further enhance our understanding of this important aspect, testing sensitivity to gate closure times and requirements on minimum intervals.
In Part 2 of this Case Study, we look at those 15 x Semi-Scheduled units highlighted with large deviations (mostly under-performance) at 17:05 on 27th October 2022 in order to understand more.
In Part 1 of this Case Study, we start to look at the large collective under-performance across all Semi-Scheduled units (i.e. Wind and Large Solar) at 17:05 on 27th October 2022. More to come...
This first excerpt from GenInsights Quarterly Update for Q4 2022 looks specifically at the trended level of adoption of self-forecasting for Semi-Scheduled Solar Farms in the NEM. This article on Monday 26th February 2023...
Today, more than 14 months after the publication of GenInsights21 we're sharing Key Observation 15 of 22, relating to self-forecasting for Semi-Scheduled units.
A short article about the AER's publication (on 1st July 2022) of some updated information to help Semi-Scheduled generators understand their obligations.
On Thursday 17th March, Jonathon Dyson presented at the CEC Wind Industry Forum in Melbourne about the increasing role of auto-bidding and self-forecasting in the modern-day NEM. In this article, he shares some of...
This morning the AEMC has published its final rule focused on clarifying how Semi-Scheduled generators should follow dispatch targets - including in dispatch intervals where prices are negative, and some had been unexpectedly switching...
On 25th November, guest author Allan O'Neil examined the 'X5 Constraint'. Two weeks of operation have passed, so now Allan reviews some of what's happened.
This is the second of a short series of video snippets extracted from the 17th September 2020 presentation by Marcelle Gannon and Jonathon Dyson for the Clean Energy Council entitled ‘Maximising Profitability in the...
Today (Thu 19th Nov 2020) the AEMC published a draft ruling following the AER request for a rule change relating to Semi-Scheduled generators ... which itself followed from two COAG Energy Council requests to...
Following the consultation process conducted by the AER (stemming from their Issues Paper 3 months ago) the AER has today submitted a rule change request to the AEMC relating to Semi-Scheduled generation.
Prompted by the recent AER Issues Paper (submissions on that due today - Friday 24th July) but also aware that I've not yet published some broader thoughts in response to the ESB's requests for...
Marcelle digs into the data to find out what the real issues are in the AER's proposed rule change for semi-scheduled generators.
Here's an attempt to translate the concern underlying the AER Issues Paper into 'plain English' via the popular song.
