Constraint equations are used by AEMO to model the power system limitations in the dispatch engines NEMDE and PASA. This report details constraint equation performance and transmission congestion related issues for each calendar year. It includes the drivers on constraint equation changes in the calendar year, analysis of binding and violating constraint equations, interconnector limit setters, duration of outages and information on other constraint related issues.
This report has been developed for both internal AEMO requirements and in response to a submission to the first congestion information resource (CIR) consultation which was seeking more information and commentary on binding/violating constraint equations as well as timing of major outages.
AEMO welcomes comments and suggestions on the content of this report from both internal AEMO staff and participants.
