Power system disturbance monitoring in the NEM
The High Speed Monitoring (HSM) system has been developed by AEMO in conjunction with Australian TNSPs. The goals was to develop a NEM-wide high speed monitoring system that would complement AEMO’s oscillatory stability monitoring capability. HSM also enhances observability of power system disturbances in operational time frames and for post contingency analysis.
How the HSM System works
The HSM system utilises two of our products. The HSM Request Processor (RP) software is used to retrieve Continuous and Triggered Slow Scan Data from Qualitrol IDM+ power system monitors on the TNSPs network. HSM RP publishes this data to the AEMO client in the form of xml and Comtrade files.
Backward compatibility
The Insulect HSM solution is compatible with obsolete hardware (IDM) and IDM+ and can work in a mixed fleet of new and old generation of recorders.
Triggered data supported
Support of triggered data requests (schema 26) as well as continuous data (schema 23).
Supports all request commands
Rollcall request, Continuous Capability, Triggered Capability, Continuous Data, Trigger Inventory, Triggered Data, Triggered detail.
Latest Microsoft compatibility
HSM RP version 2 is compatible with the latest Microsoft Windows OS versions (incl. Windows servers) and SQL server versions. The HSM RP is also compatible with virtual Windows platform.

High Speed Monitoring by Qualitrol
A MODULAR DFR & DDR PLATFORM FOR HSM
The AEMO High Speed Monitoring system is delivered using the Qualitrol IDM+ platform, a multifunction power system monitor that has been performing this function for well over a decade across Australia.
NATIVE HSM cAPABILITY
Qualitrol IDM+ for high speed monitoring capability in a multifunction power system monitoring device.
HSM Request Processor Software
HSM RP supports all AEMO request commands:
Rollcall request (returns status of all or individual devices e.g. online/offline, time synch OK)
Continuous Capability (requests for the CSS channel details of all or individual devices)
Triggered Capability (requests for the TSS channel details of all or individual devices)
Continuous Data (requests for the CSS data for a time window from individual device)
Trigger Inventory (requests for the TSS directory from individual device)
Triggered Data (requests for the TSS data for a trigger time checked with Trigger inventory request)
Triggered detail (requests for the FR sensor details i.e. over freq trigger)
