during their charge cycle and deliver electricity to the market during peak periods when prices<br />
are higher. This phenomenon, known as energy arbitrage, alleviates wind curtailment and<br />
potentially reduces the need for new transmission and generation to meet peak demand. The<br />
<strong>Energy</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>Study</strong> will increase <strong>MISO</strong> understanding about whether, where and how energy<br />
storage resources can be applied to reduce transmission costs and wind curtailment.<br />
