CAISO has kicked off an initiative to explore how it can procure resources equipped to automatically respond to disturbances in grid frequency.

The debate over metering DER in front of or behind the customer’s load was the focus of the PJM Market Implementation Committee’s most recent special session on the topic Nov. 22.

FERC proposed revising its pro forma GIAs to require all newly interconnecting facilities to install and enable primary frequency response capability.

The PJM Market Monitor reported that capacity and regulation market results were “generally competitive” in the first 9 months of 2016, but remain vulnerable to stress.

IP&L complained to FERC that its energy storage battery at the Harding Street Station is supporting the MISO grid without any way of being compensated.

CAISO is seeking stakeholder input on how to respond to a solar eclipse that will significantly curtail output from California’s growing solar generation portfolio next August.

PJM is considering a significant increase in the performance requirements for participants in its frequency regulation market.

FERC rejected for a second time proposed rules by Arizona Public Service on external resources can use dynamic scheduling to participate in the EIM.

FERC is considering changes to its Electric Quarterly Report rules, including requiring data on ancillary services transactions and changes to how financially settled trades are reported.

FERC approved rule changes to improve the ability of energy storage resources to participate in CAISO markets.
