The Reserve Capacity Mechanism (RCM) ensures the SWIS has sufficient available capacity to meet the peak demand. AEMO is responsible for assessing the capability of new or existing facilities to provide capacity.
\nThe RCM Operations application provides functionality related to the RCM, including Certified Reserve Capacity applications, Non-Temperature Dependent Load applications, Individual Reserve Capacity Requirements, and Capacity Credit Allocations.
\nParticipants can interact with the RCM Operations application through the RCM Operations API and use features include importing/creating, updating and publishing RCM limitadvice and constraint equations in bulk.

\nFor all APIs, there is an enforced 10 MB max limit.
\nA single participant is restricted to accessing 50 calls every minute, with a total of 200 calls in five minutes.
\nThe RCM API uses the DigiCert TLS certificate authentication method.
