INITIATIVE:
Energy storage and distributed energy resources

Started: Aug 27, 2015

Leads
Jill Powers

The focus of this initiative is on enhancing the ability of ISO connected and distribution-connected resources to participate in the ISO market, including rooftop solar, energy storage, plug-in electric vehicles, and demand response. These resources represent an increasingly important part of the future resource mix and will help lower carbon emissions and provide operational benefits.

Reposted to correct the State-of-Charge and Self-Schedule Bid-Cost Recovery ineligibility criteria; to clarify that CAISO will respect the physical minimum and maximum output resource constraints, rather than the economic minimum and maximum.

Phase 3

Completed

Outcome (3B): Effective Oct. 1, 2020, the second phase of this initiative's Phase 3 created the Proxy Demand Resource - Load Shift Resource participation model, which allows storage resources to bid decreases and increases in load. This release also allows for use of a sub-meter to calculate Customer Load Baseline data independent of its host facility’s demand response (DR) program, for measuring behind-the-meter Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment load curtailment. These enhancements further improve the ability of energy storage and distributed energy resources to participate in the ISO market.

Outcome (3A): Effective Nov. 13, 2019, the first phase of this initiative's Phase 3 provided new dispatchable bidding options for DR resources and removed the single Load Serving Entity requirement for DR aggregations as well as for the application of the default load adjustment. The release also provided the ability for scheduling coordinators of DR resources to submit Customer Load Baseline data to the Settlement Quality Meter Data Systems, required for monitoring and audit purposes, in compliance with the California ISO Tariff requirements.

Phase 2

Completed

Outcome: Effective Nov. 1, 2018, this initiative provided three new types of demand response performance evaluation methods, clarified Station Power treatment for storage resources, and incorporated additional gas indices into the net benefits test calculation to reflect all real-time participation regions. The enhancements are anticipated to lower barriers and enhance the ability of energy storage and distributed energy resources to participate in the ISO market. The Phase 2 policy allowed for baselines to be performed and submitted by scheduling coordinators, resulting in all remaining demand response system (DRS) functionalities to be integrated into MRI-S (Market Results Interface – Settlements) and decommissioning of the DRS.

Phase 1

Completed

Outcome: Phase 1 enhanced the ability of grid-connected storage and distribution-connected resources to participate in the ISO market. Improvements included the ability for submitting the state of charge as a daily bid parameter in the day-ahead market, as well as an option to not provide state of charge limits or not have the ISO co-optimize non-generator resources based on state of charge.
