Revenue (× MLF)

Estimated $ per interval — energy (RRP) and FCAS (regional FCAS prices), both × MLF.

Methodology & assumptions

  • Dispatch & availability — AEMO Next Day Dispatch UNIT_SOLUTION (5‑minute intervals). Intervention intervals excluded.
  • Regional price — dispatch_price RRP matched by settlement time and NEM region (from generator registry).
  • Energy revenue (× MLF) — cleared MW × (5/60 h) × RRP × MLF.
  • FCAS revenue & volume — cleared FCAS MW from DISPATCHLOAD (raise/lower 6s, 60s, 5min, reg) × (5/60 h) × regional FCAS price × MLF. Volume is total FCAS enablement MWh across services.
  • State of charge — INITIAL_ENERGY_STORAGE (MWh at interval start) from UNIT_SOLUTION, published for bidirectional/storage units. Next-day data — the SOC line lags real time by up to a day.
  • Curtailment — estimated economic curtailment when availability exceeds dispatch target: max(0, availability − cleared) × (5/60) MWh.
  • Not settlement — estimates only. AEMO settlement applies DLF, rebids, constraints, and other factors not modelled here.

Notes
No plant-specific greenfield investment announcement for Kerang Hybrid was found in the searched owner/government sources. Capex and O&M therefore use AEMO/Aurecon benchmark assumptions for a utility-scale solar PV ground-mount project, applied to the 161 MW DC solar component. The project page states Kerang Hybrid is a proposed 161 MW DC solar farm with a 55 MW/110 MWh battery and construction targeted to commence in late 2025; the benchmark source indicates single-axis tracking systems have higher capital and maintenance requirements than fixed-tilt systems. The calculated capex_per_mw_aud is based on the benchmark relative cost of $1.45/W DC for the 20 MW ground-mount solar PV case, and fixed OPEX is set at $12,000/MW-yr from the same benchmark table.
