(Initial) Replay of Thursday evening 17th October 2024 in SA
Using ‘next day public’ data in ez2view, here’s an initial replay of 7 dispatch intervals on Thursday evening 17th Oct 2024 in South Australia.
Snowtown 1 Wind Farm
Case Study of 03:45 on Monday 15th October 2018 (aggregate Raw Off-Target +308MW for Semi-Scheduled units)
This is the 13th Case Study in this series (looking at each of 98 extreme incidents). We’re looking at an event on 15th October 2018 that seems to heavily feature high-wind cut-out as the primary driver for collective wind farm under-performance.
Case Study of 03:25 on Tuesday 5th April 2016 (aggregate Raw Off-Target +359MW for Semi-Scheduled units)
After publishing three Case Studies on Saturday, this 4th Case Study in a long series is much more complex – with 8 different Semi-Scheduled Wind Farm units across VIC and SA exhibiting significant deviations from Target. This Case study looks at April 2016, which is also 3 years after the first 3 case studies.
Reasonably widespread deviations delivers highest ‘aggregate Raw Off-Target’ for the 2019 year for ‘all Wind’
This is the 3rd of 4 Case Studies to follow on from the main article (summarising results across 105,120 dispatch intervals through 2019 for ‘all Coal’ and ‘all Wind’ groupings). In this case, let’s look at the ‘worst’ case, in aggregate, where wind units under-performed compared to dispatch targets.
