Reference:Tariff Revisions Addressing Provision of Synchronized Reserves by Inverter-Based Energy Storage Resources
On March 29, 2018, the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) submitted revisions to its Open Access Transmission Tariff and its Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff to permit resources using inverter-based technologies to provide synchronized Operating Reserves.[1] You state that the revisions, developed in response to a clarification from the Northeast Power Coordinating Council, provide an additional market participation opportunity for inverter-based energy storage resources seeking to obtain value for services they can technically provide.
