1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this document is to describe the functions and capabilities of the WEMS Market

Participant Interface (MPI) and act as a guide to Market Participant users. The Market Participant

Interface (MPI) is the medium between the Market Participant (MP) and AEMO to exchange and submit

registration information, trading submissions and facilitate the extraction of reports.

This document is intended for MPI users.

2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

The MPI is accessed via a web browser and AEMO recommends either Internet Explorer (IE) 9 or later

or the latest Google Chrome browser. IE 8 is supported but requires a Silverlight plugin to display the

BMO (Balancing Merit Order).

4. ACCESSING THE SYSTEM

Upon visiting the site https://wems.aemo.com.au/mpi, the MPI will require the user to authenticate with

their WEMS RSA SecurID token before the user is able to access the MPI. The RSA SecurID token can

be identified by the RSA SecurID dark blue and red logo with white writing as per Figure 1 below.

Figure 1 RSA SecurID Token Example

New users must apply for WEMS access by contacting their Market Participant Administrator (MPA) as

well as completing the WEMS Token Request Form. This form, along with the RSA Quick Reference

Guide is available from the MPI login page or from Market Operations (WA)

([email protected]).

Figure 2 Login Screen

New users must also be assigned the appropriate roles by their MPA to ensure they have the correct

access privileges.

RSA SecurID tokens are managed and issued by AEMO; however individual roles and user accounts

are managed by each MPA.

evidence. The writen testimony must include, as a minimum:

Date of correspondence.

Letterhead of the company including full company name and contact details.

NMI of the Load.

A list of Trading Intervals which corresponds to the CSV file, including the reason for the reduction which must be due to one of the following:

o A request from System Management.

o Maintenance or equipment failure that has caused an irregular change in consumption. Note that this does not include regular scheduled maintenance.

The time and date that the event causing the Associated Load’s consumption reduction commenced and ended.

Where an application is submitted for a consumption reduction due to maintenance or equipment failure:

o A high level description of the activities/issue including the typical duration and the expected frequency of this event.

o Where the maintenance/failure lasts for more than 1 week, a detailed explanation along with supporting evidence.

An explanation of how the events resulted in the Load reducing its consumption including information regarding the expected consumption (MW) if the event had not occurred.

Full name, details and signature of a senior authority employed by the operator of the Load.

6. Provide any additional comments and documentation about the reason for the change in the

NMI’s consumption, if necessary.

7. By clicking the Save button, the CDA can be stored at any time to work on at a later date. After all

relevant documentation has been uploaded, click Submit.

8. Once the application has been submitted, it can be withdrawn by clicking the Withdraw button. A

withdrawn application can be edited and resubmitted.

9. Submitted applications will be reviewed by AEMO and additional information will be requested

where necessary.

10. The application status of a submitted CDA can be viewed on CDA Dashboard under relevant

Capacity Year (see Figure 49).
