Introduction<br />
approximately 2500 MW of pumped storage resource registered in <strong>MISO</strong>. Short-term energy<br />
storage is currently only accommodated as a regulating resource in the ASM tariff, a provision<br />
that was added to facilitate the use of flywheel energy storage technology. This stored energy<br />
resource provision is the subject of ongoing debate between the FERC and <strong>MISO</strong> 4 . The FERC is<br />
requesting equitable market treatment for any stored energy resource technology including<br />
longer-term resources.<br />
The <strong>Energy</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Study</strong> is a targeted study carried out during the 2011 MTEP cycle. The<br />
<strong>Energy</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Study</strong> models several hypotheses around battery, compressed air, and pumped<br />
hydro energy storage technologies. The study explores reliability, market, and planning benefits<br />
that storage technologies provide. <strong>Study</strong> objectives are to determine the economic potential and<br />
feasibility of storage technologies for <strong>MISO</strong> and to suggest potential <strong>MISO</strong> energy and operating<br />
reserve market enhancement products, if appropriate.<br />

Three drivers underpin the <strong>MISO</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Study</strong> as follows:<br />
• The first is the open question on short and long-term storage treatment in the ASM. The<br />
FERC expresses concern that any short-term energy storage technology (not just<br />
flywheel) should be accommodated by the ASM tariff and able to participate in other<br />
