WEM REFORM PROGRAM TRANCHES The diagram below provide a high level view of the WEM Reform program tranches. 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Tranche 1 – Frameworks Deliver changes to underlying frameworks (e.g. reliability and frequency operating standards) and the associated regulatory/system modifications to allow assignment of Capacity Credits in a constrained environment Project 1 Project 2 Project ‘n’ Tranche 2 – Constrained Network Access & SCED Deliver regulatory, system and business changes to enable security constrained economic dispatch (SCED), including full facility bidding for Synergy; co-optimised energy and ancillary service markets and five minute dispatch Project 1 Project 2 Project ‘n’ Tranche 3 – Optimised Operations Deliver regulatory, system and business changes that provide additional benefits to system and/or market operations Project 1 4 Project 2 Department of Treasury Project ‘n’
MARKET AND DISPATCH ARRANGEMENTS/POWER SYSTEM SECURITY - SCOPE OF PROPOSED TRANCHES Tranche 1 – Frameworks (mid 2018 - 2020) Tranche 2 – Full SCED (by 2022) Project ‘New’ RCM approach to enable assignment of Certification of Reserve capacity in a constrained access market Capacity * Registrations Initial changes to improve current registration Potential further changes (if required) to amend the classes and framework (including removing barriers registration classes and framework to support for energy storage and revision of dispatchable constrained access arrangements loads construct) Spot Market Move reference node to Southern Terminal (for Introduce new spot market with co-optimised planning purposes with activation date to align with energy and ancillary service dispatch on least-cost SCED go live date) methodology Determine approach to, and responsibilities for, calculation of Marginal Loss Factors (MLFs) Short Term Consequential changes to reflect broader SCED Energy Market changes (STEM) Settlements Consequential (and not minor) changes proposed. Prudential Consequential changes to reflect broader SCED arrangements changes Synergy Full facility bidding and dispatch for Synergy Transition portfolio Ancillary Model volume requirements for ancillary services in Introduce new ancillary services and (where Services constrained access market appropriate) markets for those services to meet Consider introduction of new ancillary service(s) to requirements of new constrained access market support system operations in advance of SCED model (e.g. meeting new PSSR standards) (e.g. fast frequency response or inertia) 5 Department of Treasury * RCM changes form part of the Network Access Reform program
MARKET AND DISPATCH ARRANGEMENTS/POWER SYSTEM SECURITY - SCOPE OF PROPOSED TRANCHES Tranche 1 – Frameworks (mid 2018 - 2020) Tranche 2 – Full SCED (by 2022) Project Power System Introduce new frameworks for security and Option to amend Lack-Of-Reserve and Low- Security & reliability, including design of the operating states Reserve conditions using statistically developed Reliability framework, management of contingency events, margins (PSSR) power system reliability, and draft system standards, settings and definitions, governance arrangements and roles and responsibilities Constraints Introduce right, obligations and definitions to Develop the full constraint library and support the development of a new system normal mechanisms to publish constraint information to constraints library market Develop a new system normal constraint library to facilitate Reserve Capacity certification; forecasting/planning; and outage management Forecast & Improvements to forecast and PASA systems to Consequential changes to support full SCED PASA reflect move to constrained access model implementation (e.g. reflecting 5 min dispatch) and introduce publicised pre-dispatch information Outage Introduce changes to frameworks that are Implement changes to power system and market operations to reflect ‘new’ constrained access Management consistent with and allow participants to start planning for a constrained dispatch environment arrangements for outage planning, notification, management and settlement Dispatch Introduce 5-min dispatch with high degree of automation to lock-in/lock-out where non- compliance occurs. Integrate fast-start capabilities. 6 Department of Treasury
