Background
•
WPC Muja substation Bus Tie Transformers (BTT) summary:
– Lost N-1 contingency in September 2012 following BTT1 failure
– Running as single contingency since February 2014 following BTT2 failure
•

Recent Activity
The IMO and System Management have worked together on:
• using network information to review the potential impact of the
new line and to assist in modelling;
• reviewing effectiveness factor assumptions;
• reviewing MW limits used for Vinalco in forecasting model;
• refining the analysis model; and
• comparing previous forecasts with what actually occurred.

Constrained-On Payments for Trading Days 1-26 July 2014
• Forecast based on System Management dispatch plan = $2.57M
• Forecast based on IMO dispatch estimate = $3.23M
• Estimate based on SCADA data = $1.71M
• For the first 26 Trading Days of July, the estimated constrainedon payments to Vinalco are $1.52M less than the IMO forecast.
• This is because:
– System Management dispatched two Vinalco Muja units instead of
three; and
– Vinalco reduced its bid price from $175/MWh to $111/MWh on 18 July
2014, the day after the repeal of the carbon tax.

System Management Planning Process
• System Management uses software that models network flows
after a network failure.
• System Management ensures that no single network failure
leads to overload of another piece of equipment – otherwise, this
could lead to a chain reaction.
• Thresholds for the number of Vinalco Facilities needed are based
on the amount of generation needed at Muja to prevent postcontingency overload.
• Effectiveness factor for another Facility is calculated by replacing
Vinalco generation with generation from that Facility.

IMO Dispatch Advice 29 July 2014
• Two options:
– Dispatch two Vinalco units continuously
– Dispatch one Vinalco unit continuously and use Tesla Picton and
EnerNOC DSPs at the peaks
• At a Vinalco bid price of $111/MWh, dispatching two Vinalco units
continuously would cost approximately $230k.
• At $555/MWh, dispatching 12MW, 9MW, 4MW, 21MW, 6MW and
0MW of liquid/DSM for 2.5 hours plus one Vinalco unit
continuously would cost approximately $177k.
• The combined Vinalco/liquid/DSM option is approximately $54k
cheaper for the six day forecast period.

Next Steps
•
Work with System Management and Vinalco to cycle units efficiently.
•
Identify large DSP loads in region.
•
Work with System Management and Market Customers to reduce load during
periods of peak demand.
•
Refine assumptions used in modelling.
•
IMO and System Management to continue working together to minimise risk and
costs to the market.
•
IMO hosting weekly briefings to the industry:
– Next meeting Tuesday 5 August 2014 at 10am.
