NYISO is nearing a vote on market participation rules for hybrid storage and generation resources, with plans to submit the proposal in 2021.

RTOs will need uniform interconnection processes if hybrid and co-located resources are to provide flexible, cost-effective service, panelists in a FERC conference said.

The CAISO Board of Governors adopted the first of two proposals intended to allow co-located and hybrid resources to connect to the grid more seamlessly.

CAISO presented the Western Energy Imbalance Market’s Governing Body its plan for accommodating hybrid generation and storage resources.

FERC and RTOs need to update their rules to accommodate hybrid generation-storage projects that are flooding interconnection queues, experts say.

The PJM MIC endorsed an initiative to update the RTO’s business rules to accommodate co-located generation and energy storage hybrid resources.

The PJM MRC deferred a vote on an issue charge to consider rule changes for hybrid resources after members questioned the plan to assign it to a new senior task force.

NYISO floated a plan that would provide hybrid storage resources three options for participating in its energy and capacity markets.

FERC will hold a technical conference July 23 on the “technical and market issues” raised by the growth of hybrid generation and storage resources.
