The System Strength Impact Assessment Guidelines (SSIAG) and Generator and Load Model Guidelines and Model Change Management Requirements (Model Guidelines) was approved on 16th October 2020. Power and Water thanks all parties who were involved in the consultation process for the draft guidelines.
The final SSIAG and Model Guidelines were developed in accordance with the requirements in the Network Technical Code (NTC).
The SSIAG was developed with reference to the AEMO System Strength Impact Assessment Guidelines v1.0 effective from 1 July 2018. They provide guidance for undertaking a system strength impact assessment for a proposed new generating system, an alteration to existing generating system, or new network service facilities connected to one of Power and Water’s Regulated Networks.
The Model Guidelines provide guidance for Users regarding the requirements they are expected to meet in providing computer models and associated information for their connected plant and equipment. The guidelines have been developed in accordance with clause 3.3.4 of the NTC. Providing models that meet the functional and accuracy requirements specified in the Model Guidelines will assist in maintaining safe and reliable operation of the power system within its specified limits.
