MISO Dashboard

 Manitoba Hydro (MHEB) and MISO utilize a External Asynchronous Resource (EAR) to provide MISO Market with 5 minute energy. Under certain system configurations, EAR is prevented from participating in the MISO Energy and Ancillary Services Market due to transmission network topology issues. With recent upgrades to MHEB transmission capabilities (a second 500KV line) the intent is to remove any interlocking/limitation that prevents EAR from being offered. However due to a software limitation in MISO market application it will currently disable EAR if MHEB’s original 500KV line is out of service. This limitation needs to be removed so regardless of transmission topology and system conditions EAR will be offered.
