      • System Strength Impact Assessment Guidelines
      • Technical advisory group
  • On 19 September 2017, the AEMC provided determinations on the Generating System Model Guidelines, Managing the rate of change of power system frequency, and Managing power system fault levels rule changes. As part of these changes to bolster power system security across the NEM, AEMO has completed a series of technical investigations and developed guidelines that provide greater clarity to existing and prospective Market Participants and allow NSPs and AEMO to gather the information necessary to perform the extended analyses now required to maintain power system security.

    The following guidelines and reports have been developed and published by AEMO as a result of this review.
