WIND FARMS IN COURT IN AUSTRALIA

   The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) will take four South Australian wind farm operators to court accusing them of failing to perform properly during SA’s statewide blackout in 2016.
    In its action, the AER alleges each of the wind farm operators failed to ensure that their plant and associated facilities complied with their generator performance standard requirement to ride-through certain disturbances.
    It also alleges that the wind farm operators failed to provide automatic protection systems to enable them to ride-through voltage disturbances to ensure continuity of supply, in contravention of the National Electricity Rules.
