Tasmanian Frequency Standards Review Hydro Tasmania Perspective June 2008 1 Assessment of Options Status quo (current standard) Gunns, Tamar Valley Power (TVP) unable to connect TVP proposed standard Imposes very onerous design
2
Assessment of Options
Status quo (current standard)
Gunns, Tamar Valley Power (TVP) unable to connect
TVP proposed standard
Imposes very onerous design and operational
requirements for Tasmania
Basslink import severely constrained Net decrease in supply with Bell Bay closure Basslink stranded in export Major investment required in new fast raise services (up to
$100 million)
Limited development of new wind in Tasmania
3
Assessment Conclusions
Neither standard alone provides increased supplies
for Tasmania
TVP proposal decreases competition from Victoria
by constraining Basslink
TVP proposal results in tighter standard plus
increase in contingency size which causes significant increase in FCAS requirement and cost
Reliability Panel must take a broader view to find a package of measures which work and provide long term investment certainty
4
Key Issues
Tighter standard
Increases FCAS requirements Impacts Basslink capability Increases system security risk (UFLS,OFGS,SPS) Add significant redesign cost (UFLS,OFGS,SPS)
Contingency Size
Not covered by NER Larger contingency exacerbates FCAS raise supply issues No dispatch co-optimisation Creates Basslink dispatch issues

What does all this mean?
Basslink imports reduced by up to 200MW Basslink stranded in export Net energy supply for Tasmania may decrease
10
FCAS Raise Market in Tasmania
Small revenue stream for suppliers Relatively high cost of supply Generators provide and pay for service Costs can only be recovered around 10% of the time
when Basslink can’t transport cheap mainland FCAS R6
No market incentive for investment

New Zealand Experience
$2bn energy & $50-100m FCAS markets Costs and additional penalties (non-compliance) are
attributed to the users of FCAS
FCAS is provided by generators and interruptible
loads (around 50/50 split)
Co-optimisation of largest unit occurs as a market
- utcome
UFLS is used for multiple contingency events;
purchased similar to FCAS
NZ has different features and hence different
standards on each island

Summary
Issues
Tighter standard and larger contingency will cause severe
R6 supply problems and operational problems
Increased reliability risk Increased security risk
- Wind development in Tasmania will be constrained
Hydro Tasmania Proposal
Maintain current frequency standard Limit the contingency size to 144MW Innovative solution to allow Gunns and Tamar Valley
Power to connect
