7 Complete Service Catalogue

7.1 Operational readiness and asset onboarding

Service Purpose
Readiness assessment Review people, process, systems, contracts, data, controls and handover requirements before operations.
Operating responsibility map Define interfaces among owner, registered participant, trader, OEM, O and M provider, NSP and site.
Asset obligation register Link approvals, GPS, licences, market obligations, contracts and procedures to owners and evidence.
Commissioning to BAU handover Track defects, temporary settings, test evidence, warranties, spares, training and unresolved risks.
Control room concept Define how the owner, site team, O and M contractor, trader and any remote operator coordinate monitoring, alarms, authority and records.

7.2 Asset performance and loss intelligence

Service Purpose
Performance dashboard Combine O and M event data with resource, generation, availability, losses, alarms, prices and operational events.
Loss taxonomy Classify resource, equipment, electrical, curtailment, constraint, price, dispatch and contractual losses.
Revenue-weighted performance Prioritise losses using market value rather than energy volume alone.
Benchmarking Compare turbines, inverters, strings, sites or technologies after controlling for operating conditions.
Underperformance investigation Test hypotheses using SCADA, weather, control, outage and market evidence.

7.3 Availability reconciliation

Service Purpose
Owner and contractor reconciliation Work with the O and M team to reproduce contract logic and explain differences in event classification and exclusions.
Technical availability Measure physical capability using agreed asset boundaries and event rules.
Market availability Compare physical capability with offered and dispatched availability.
Commercial availability Assess whether the asset was capable of delivering contract or market value.
Dispute support Prepare traceable calculations, event evidence and issue logs for commercial review.

7.4 NEM dispatch and market operations

Service Purpose
Dispatch performance monitoring Compare targets, actual output, ramping, availability, controller states and forecast conditions.
Off-target event analysis Detect, investigate and trend deviations, including recurrence and corrective actions.
Constraint and local price analysis Explain binding constraints, marginal values, regional and local exposure, and controllability.
Bid and rebid governance Connect operational evidence, decision authority, reason records and post-event review.
Market event review Reconstruct high-price, negative-price, direction or system-security events and lessons.

7.5 Generator compliance and assurance

Service Purpose
Compliance obligations register Maintain obligations, owners, evidence, frequency, status and escalation.
GPS monitoring Compare measurable plant behaviour with agreed performance standards and settings.
Incident case management Store notices, preliminary reports, investigations, actions, evidence and recurrence.
Change control Assess whether plant, software, settings or operating changes require review, testing or notification.
Audit readiness Sample evidence, identify gaps and prepare corrective action plans.

7.6 Reliability and maintenance

Service Purpose
Reliability analytics Analyse failure modes, recurrence, MTBF, MTTR, criticality and condition indicators.
Maintenance window selection Support the O and M planner by comparing resource, weather, access, crane, labour, price and constraint scenarios.
Major component planning Model long-duration outages, logistics, wind limits, crane standby and opportunity cost.
Fleet campaign prioritisation Sequence inspections or replacements across assets using risk and value.
Spares strategy Relate failure risk, lead time, commonality and downtime exposure to stock decisions.

7.7 BESS and hybrid optimisation

Service Purpose
BESS dispatch model Optimise energy and FCAS participation subject to SOC, power, efficiency and degradation limits.
Hybrid coordination Coordinate wind or solar generation, storage, export limits and contracts.
Degradation-aware value Trade off cycling revenue against wear, warranty, augmentation and availability.
Forecast-informed scheduling Use price, renewable generation, demand and constraint scenarios with uncertainty.
Strategy backtesting Compare candidate rules or optimisation models against consistent historical scenarios.

7.8 Portfolio and fleet optimisation

Service Purpose
Asset versus fleet objective Compare standalone asset value with portfolio, PPA and risk objectives.
Contract-aware dispatch Represent PPAs, caps, floors, curtailment instructions, availability clauses and exposure.
Shared constraint management Coordinate assets affected by common transmission, export or operational limits.
Capital allocation Prioritise upgrades, reliability work and storage using risk-adjusted portfolio value.
Scenario planning Test weather, demand, outage, price, policy and technology pathways.

7.9 Forecasting and market intelligence

Service Purpose
Price and dispatch forecasting Develop decision-support forecasts with uncertainty and performance monitoring.
Renewable generation forecasting Assess forecast error by horizon, condition and operational state.
Demand behaviour analysis Study industrial load, data centres, electrification and regional seasonality.
Bid stack intelligence Analyse public bid, dispatch, constraint and ownership information without claiming private intent.
Policy and rule monitoring Track material market, regulatory and scheme changes and assess operational implications.

7.10 Data engineering and digital products

Service Purpose
Operational data model Standardise assets, DUIDs, equipment, events, intervals, units, time zones and identifiers.
SCADA and market integration Build governed offline pipelines from approved operational and external sources.
Data quality controls Detect gaps, duplicates, clock drift, unit errors, stale values and inconsistent mappings.
