NEM Generator Performance Standards and Power System Model Data

Generator performance standards (agreed schedule 5.2 standards under S5.2.5.x at the automatic, minimum or negotiated access standard) and the power system model data behind them (NER S5.2.4(b): functional block diagrams, parameters with settings, gains, time constants, delays and deadbands, encrypted models, model source code, releasable user guides, Power System Design and Setting Data Sheets) for a named generating system. The NER treats this as confidential information (cl 3.13.3(k)-(l), 5.3.4 model data, 8.6.1) and AEMO releases model source code only in compiled or encrypted form.

Type: regex
Engine: boost_regex
Confidence: medium
Confidence justification: Medium: the anchors are NER defined terms and clause numbers that dominate the Rules, AEMO guidelines and consultation papers, so enforcement depends on populated parameter values or plant fields. Parameter symbols (Kp, Ti and similar) are generic control-engineering notation, which is why they only count near a performance-standard anchor. PSS/E and PSCAD file extensions are the researcher's knowledge, not verified against AEMO documents, and are weak evidence at 85 only. 85/75 are heuristic evidence tiers, not measured accuracy; test values are synthetic.

Should match

Teston Solar Farm - releasable user guide v2.1 (confidential information, NER 8.6.1) DUID: TESTSF1 Connection point: Teston 275 kV substation PPC voltage controller: Kp = 2.5 pu, Ti = 0.8 s, deadband = 0.5 % Model files: TESTSF1_PPC_v21.dyr and TESTSF1_inv.dll (encrypted model). — Releasable user guide with plant fields, controller parameters and model files (intended 85)
Generator performance standards schedule - S5.2.5.5 reactive power capability: negotiated access standard Generating system: Teston Wind Farm Stage 2 Agreed value: 0.395 x maximum active power at the connection point. — Agreed performance standard for a named generating system, no parameters (intended 75)
Power System Setting Data Sheet - Teston BESS Frequency controller droop = 3.3 % Frequency deadband = 0.015 Hz — Filled setting data sheet with parameter values but no plant field (intended 75)
Register of performance standards extract - S5.2.5.13 voltage and reactive power control Power station: Teston Creek Hydro AVR gain = 400 pu Time constant = 0.02 s Functional block diagram and model source code held by AEMO; commercially sensitive. — Register extract with plant, AVR parameters and model-release content (intended 85)

Should not match

S5.2.4(b) ... the parameters of each functional block, including all settings, gains, time constants, delays, deadbands and limits; encrypted models in a form suitable for the software simulation products nominated by AEMO in the Power System Model Guidelines, Power System Design Data Sheet and Power System Setting Data Sheet. — NER text (legislation decoy, stays at 65)
Power System Setting Data Sheet DUID: [enter DUID] Connection point: __________ Gain (pu): __________ Time constant (s): __________ Deadband (Hz): tbc — Blank AEMO data sheet
Power System Model Guidelines - draft determination and consultation paper. AEMO seeks submissions on how generator performance standards and releasable user guides should describe model parameters. — AEMO consultation / guideline decoy
Worked example: an excitation system under S5.2.5.13 might use Ka = 200 pu and Ta = 0.02 s. — Training / textbook worked example
AEMO registered 4 GW of new solar and wind generation this year after agreeing generator performance standards with each developer, a media release says. — News / media release

Known false positives

The National Electricity Rules, AEMC rule determinations and AEMO Power System Model Guidelines. Mitigation: No populated parameter or plant values; determination, consultation and rule change wording is excluded.
Blank Power System Design and Setting Data Sheets. Mitigation: Placeholders (blank lines, brackets, n/a, tbc) are rejected and template framing is excluded.
Control engineering textbooks and training material that set gains and time constants. Mitigation: Needs a performance-standard anchor within 300 characters; worked-example and training framing is excluded.
Public generator registration information (DUIDs and capacities are published by AEMO). Mitigation: A public registration row alone reaches at most 75 when next to a performance-standard anchor; 85 also needs controller parameters and model-release evidence.
