Battery Energy Storage Impact and Benefits Assessments in MISO: ACP

This independent report analyzes the benefits of energy storage buildout on regional grid reliability and electricity costs in MISO:

• Batteries play a multifaceted role within wholesale power markets, including contributions to reliability, system flexibility, ancillary services and a synergistic relationship with both renewable and thermal generation resources.

• This report illustrates the role that batteries play within the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) region and examines their impact on MISO power markets.

• The analysis in this report is based on Aurora’s modeling of two distinct scenarios: the Central scenario, where battery buildout is modelled based on the economic viability of battery projects, and the No Battery scenario where battery deployment is severely restricted
