CASE STUDY PRESENTATION
MISO's Non-Thermal Accreditation & Regional Resource Assessment

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.
