Princ iple s • Require minimal changes to existing SCADA infrastructure. • Re-use existing SCADA points for new market features where possible. • Look to “ramp” planned outage constraints into/out of service over a period of time to minimise impact.

Pre limina ry Ana lysis • Facilities that meet the existing Communication and Control Requirements will not require any new SCADA points. • Potential exception: Fast Start Facilities • However, Facilities may need to undergo commissioning to tune linear ramping via AGC. • Some existing SCADA points may be de-commissioned (no longer required) • e.g. ramp rate setpoints

L ine a r Ra mping • Achieve smooth, linear ramps between dispatch targets with minimal overshoot, or as close as possible. • AGC system will combine linear basepoint ramping with any regulation signals if the facility is enabled for Regulation Raise or Lower. • Dispatch Engine constraints will prevent a facility for being dispatched for a Regulation Raise/Lower quantity and new basepoint that is unachievable at the facility’s ramp rate. • Question for participants: are there any of your facilities that require an exemption from linear ramping? If so, please explain why.

NE M Pro c e ss • Two-step process to determine Fast Start Facility dispatch • Step one run ignores FSIP • Step two applies FSIP based on results of first run, and re-runs • Fast Start is not an “ahead” commitment process. • If pre-dispatch indicates a Facility will likely receive a dispatch in 10 minutes time, it will not receive the start signal until the interval itself. • Fast Start Facilities can opt to commit earlier as per any other facility, and rebid to ensure appropriate quantities clear for ramp and minimum running period.

F a st Sta rt SCADA Re q uire me nts • Existing NEM approach uses the analogue MW setpoint at a high value to indicate start/stop (4001 for start, 4004 for stop). • Does not require any additional SCADA points, but would require reconfiguration of facility control systems. • Alternative approach could use existing/new points to indicate starts and stops (e.g. re-purposing existing lookahead setpoints). • Different approaches may work for different facilities. • AEMO seeks feedback from participants on the following items: • Are you considering registering any of you facilities as Fast Start Facilities? If so, which ones? • For these facilities, do you have a preference in which point is used by AEMO to signal a fast-start dispatch?

Se nt-o ut to As-Ge ne ra te d Dispa tc h T a rg e t Co nve rsio ns • Clause 7.6.17(b) requires AEMO to document this process. • Alternatively, participant can do the conversion at their end. • In either case, compliance is to the sent-out target (clause 7.10.1). • For participants who currently receive as-generated Dispatch Targets, we can work with either approach.

Se nt-o ut to As-Ge ne ra te d Dispa tc h T a rg e t Co nve rsio ns • Proposed approach would be for participants to provide an equation which can be encoded within AEMO’s Energy Management System (EMS). • This equation could be piece-wise to account for multiple operating modes if required. • The equation can consist of fixed parameters, or data available to AEMO via the SCADA system, including: • Operating mode (if relevant) • Mills in service • Local ambient temperature (if available) • MW measurement of auxiliary load(s) • AEMO would document the process for altering and updating this equation in the relevant procedure, and how the logic will work where SCADA is bad/unavailable. • AEMO seeks feedback on the following questions: • Are you considering applying for AEMO to perform an sent-out to as-generated conversion of Dispatch Instructions for any of your facilities? If so, which ones? • For these facilities, do you believe existing telemetry is sufficient to perform this calculation?
