Forecast Minimum System Load (MSL1) condition in the VIC region on 08/12/2024
AEMO has detected that there is an elevated risk of insufficient demand to maintain a secure operating state in the VIC region on 08/12/2024.
Minimum System Load (MSL) conditions are forecast when regional demand is less than the relevant MSL threshold. The advisory MSL thresholds are:
o MSL1 - 1590 MW
o MSL2 - 1090 MW
o MSL3 - 590 MW
The regional demand is forecast to be below the MSL1 threshold for the following period:
1. From 1200 hrs 08/12/2024 to 1330 hrs 08/12/2024. Minimum regional demand is forecast to be 1496 MW at 1300 hrs.
Forecast regional demand (DEMAND50) is published in Short Term and Pre-Dispatch PASA region solution reports available on Market Data NEMWEB: https://aemo.com.au/en/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/data-nem/market-data-nemweb .

Update to system strength requirements in North Queensland
Refer to market notice 106175
AEMO and Powerlink are continuing to investigate system strength requirements in North Queensland.
Due to commissioning of Clarke Creek wind farm in Far North Queensland, the system normal equations have been revised.
A revision to the constraint equations will be implemented at 1100 hrs on Monday 9th December 2024.
The new combinations have now published in a limits advice document on AEMO's website. For more information refer to the new limits advice: https://www.aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/system-operations/congestion-information-resource/limits-advice
This advice contains all the combinations for Queensland for system normal cases. Additional information has been included in the limit advice to clarify the requirement to disconnect all inverters/turbines under certain system conditions.
The constraint equation in the Q-NIL set of the form below will be modified:
-Q_NIL_STRGTH_KBWF
-Q_NIL_STRGTH_MEWF
Two new equations have been added:
-Q_NIL_STRGTH_CKWF
-Q_NIL_STRGTH_CKWF_I
