Non-Thermal Accreditation Reform & Regional Resource Assessment
The Midwestern Independent System Operator, MISO, is one of the United States’ Independent System Operators, or Regional Transmission Operators. It is a not-for-profit and member-based organization with three main objectives: managing high voltage electricity flow across their fifteen member states and Manitoba, the Canadian province, facilitating one of the largest energy markets in the world – more than $40 billion in transactions go through the MISO markets every year, and, planning the grid of the future.

How MISO Utilizes PLEXOS for Enhanced Resource Adequacy
MISO is using the power of PLEXOS to tackle growing complexities of resource planning and grid reliability. By enhancing its resource adequacy models with PLEXOS, MISO can better predict and manage risks like extreme weather events and fuel shortages. Read the case study to learn how MISO is securing the energy future with PLEXOS.
Case Study
MISO Uses PLEXOS to Find Wind-Hydro Synergy with Manitoba Hydro
Looking to integrate resources that would solve for the challenges caused by the intermittent and non-peaking nature of MISO's wind generation capacity, the ISO used PLEXOS to evaluate a transmission line connecting to Manitoba Hydro.
