SET_CSP_SUPPORTDATA_CONSTRAINT

A settlements table for the publication of support data for the Snowy CSP derogation amounts. This table publishes the constraint-level information for each five minute interval in the settlement run

Deprecation Warning

This table is in the HISTORICAL TABLES package, so is likely deprecated.

Source

Settlements data process is populated at the posting of a billing run in which it is included.

Volume

Estimated number of rows is an average of 1000 per week based on the 35 settlement days posted per week.

Tip

1 second, 6 second, 5 minute, 60 second and regulation refer to types of FCAS markets.

Code Examples

Polars

Casting is enums, categoricals etc is not essential, but may speed up parsing. Swapping int for pl.UInt16, pl.Int32 would also speed up parsing. However some of the datatypes are inferred, so they may be wrong.

This code deduplicates for you. Deduplication is normally only required across multiple months.

This code assumes that all columns are present, which may not be true for older files.

Nemosis

This table is not yet available in Nemosis.

Availability

AEMO's documentation states that this table's visibility is "Public". However, it is not available in the public monthly MMSDM archive. AEMO probably call this public because it is available to all market participants over private FTP.

There is a chance that is is still public to non-participants. It may only be available for some months; or (rarely) it may be available in a non-standard location.

Deduplication and PDR Loader Configuration

The primary keys are:

• CONSTRAINTID

• INTERVAL_DATETIME

• PERIODID

• SETTLEMENTDATE

• VERSIONNO

PDR Loader configuration does not mention this table, so it is unclear how to choose which row to keep when there are multiple rows for a given set of primary keys.

You should probably take the row with the maximum LASTCHANGED.

Indexes

• LASTCHANGED
