MISO Model Quality Tests
Model quality tests per MISO's Business Practices Manual for resource interconnection, with pass or fail returned through the operator's process.
About this module
What this module covers.
MISO requires Model Quality Tests (MQT) for inverter-based resources (IBRs) and other generating facilities per MISO's Generator Interconnection Business Practices Manual (BPM-015) Appendix I. This module conducts MQT studies for the plants you select to validate simulation models against MISO's required performance criteria, along with support coordinating these activities.
Module: 044
Kind: Modeling studies
Governing body: MISO
Applies to: Before and after commercial operation
Typical time: Two to three weeks, all in, including your review
Dashboard capabilities
- Automated Compliance Workflow for MISO MQT
- Model Workspace Management: your plant's simulation model files kept in one dashboard workspace, with version tracking
