The constraint automation is a software application in AEMO’s energy management system (EMS) that automatically generates thermal overload constraint equations based on the current or planned state of the power system. These constraint equations follow the constraint formulation guidelines as applied to manually constructed thermal overload constraint equations. Currently the constraint automation requires several manual steps to create and invoke constraint equations.
This discussion paper details how AEMO plans to remove the manual steps and allow the constraint automation to operate in “closed loop” mode, in the dispatch timeframe, such that the creation, updating and invocation of constraint equations is fully automated. In future stages AEMO plans to allow further automation of the process moving through 5 minute Pre-dispatch, 30 minute Pre-dispatch and potentially the PASA timeframes.
AEMO welcomes feedback from participants on the discussion paper and this can be sent by email to ben.blake@aemo.com.au.
