    University of Southern Queensland Facility of Health, Engineering and Sciences Low Load Frequency Support Capability - Collie Power Station A dissertation submitted by Alan Christian Cornish In fulfillment of the requirements of ENG4111 and 4112 Research Project towards the degree of Bachelor of Power Engineering (Honours) Submitted: October 2020 Abstract Energy markets around the world are in a transitional phase, where wind and solar generation are penetrating the markets at unforeseen rates. The desire to decarbonise emissions associated with power generation in Australia, is seen as the first step in meeting our commitments to the Paris Climate Change Agreement. This has had a significant effect upon the electricity grid within Western Australia. The high volume of renewable generation is creating grid instability during times of low demand. This is a result of fluctuations in generation due to the variability of wind and solar. Network strength is no longer as robust because of the loss of synchronous inertia that was behind a grid mainly powered by thermal machines. Many coal fired stations are attempting to become more flexible and change from base load to cyclical operation to assist counteract the irregular nature of wind and solar generation. Collie Power Station is one such station, attempting to improve its operational flexibility. One aspect is the desire that the station move from a current minimum load setpoint of 130MW to 105MW (generated) to assist the station remain dispatched at low load rather than desynchronising it from the grid. The aim of this dissertation is to model the frequency support capability at 105MW to determine if the station continues to provide frequency support for the grid.

  • 2014-11-25 QWON Power Stations
    LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL C1379 QUESTION WITHOUT NOTICE (Of which some notice has been given) Tuesday, 25 November 2014 Hon Robin Chapple to the Leader ofthe House representing the Minister for Energy. Please provide a summary of all active power stations in Western Australia, including: age; capacity profile; fuel and/or mine type; number of employees; whether it is on or off the grid; and the closure schedule. I thankthe Hon. Member for some notice of this question. I table the attached document. The Public Utilities Office has relied on the Independent Market Operator for data concerning generators on the SWIS and has reported the maximum sent out capacity offered by these facilities into the Balancing Market, as of 25 November 2014. These figures may differ slightly from the number of capacity credits awarded and from facility nameplate capacity owing to factors including parasitic load and ambient temperature. For NWIS and NIS facilities, various sources have been used as there is no single definitive list of facilities. The nature of mining operations has not been investigated. The Public Utilities Office does not have access to data on the number of employees or on the closure schedule of power stations. The expected plant life of power stations is variable, a function of maintenance regimes and commercial considerations. ATTACHMENT TO QWN C1379 . 'I .

Fracture of an oil pipeline weld resulted in oil flowing into Fremantle stormwater drains and then into the fishing Boat Harbour. Some of the oil escaped into Cockburn Sound and eventually accumulated on Garden Island. Approximately 50 tonnes of oil were spilt with all but some 8 tonnes being recovered from the roads, stormwater drains and Fishing Boat Harbour. The following are conclusions in relation to the terms of reference of the Inquiry. 1. Assess the environmental hazards of existing and new petroleum fuel pipelines in the Fremantle region. There is uncertain regulatory control over petroleum pipelines in the Fremantle area.
