Independent System Operators (ISO) grew out of Orders Nos. 888/889 where the Commission suggested the concept of an Independent System Operator as one way for existing tight power pools to satisfy the requirement of providing non-discriminatory access to transmission.

An ISO is an organization formed at the direction or recommendation of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). In the areas where an ISO is established, it coordinates, controls and monitors the operation of the electrical power system, usually within a single US State, but sometimes encompassing multiple states.

2022年11月29日 · Whether someone refers to an ISO, RTO, or even an ISO/RTO, they’re likely talking about the same thing — an organization that manages the high-voltage transmission grid in the U.S. In this article, we’ll explore the history of these two groups and how the differences between them, at this point, are basically semantics.

ISO and RTO innovation supports the latest advancements in smart grid technologies, improving the resiliency and reliability of the grid, making energy transmission more efficient, smarter and cost-effective. Since their creation in the mid-1990s, ISO/RTOs have grown to encompass nearly two-thirds of the US and Canada today.

RTO/ISO负责协调、控制和监视的输电网络，是非盈利性公司，不拥有资产。 在美国，还有一些盈利性实体公司 (一般为上市公司)是拥有资产的，负责建造、运行和维护输电线路。 AEP公司就是其中之一 [1]。 AEP公司是电力传输领域的先驱。 纵观其前沿技术革新的历史，涵盖了对765 kV输电线路的研发与建设，这是一条在国内电压等级最高，传输效率最高的输电线路，因此，一直延续至今。 AEP拥有近 2100名优秀员工，包括输电网发展与投资服务部、输电网运营部、输电网现 …

2023年12月14日 · RTO and ISO explained highlights their differences, roles, governance, market structures, impact on renewable energy integration, challenges, future outlook, and the intricate relationship with electricity prices, ultimately offering a balanced perspective on their pros and cons in the ever-evolving energy landscape.

2011年4月4日 · Ten Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) operate bulk electric power systems across much of North America. RTOs are independent, membership-based, non-profit organizations that ensure reliability and optimize supply and demand bids for wholesale electric power. In 2009, U.S. RTOs managed 60% of the power supplied to load-serving entities.

美国已进行发电侧市场化改革的电力市场，彩色部分代表已经进行了市场化改革的区域电网 – 来源ISO/RTO Council. 最终，由于缺乏联邦层面的强制力，该项电力市场改革倡议最终演变成了各州政府依照自己的意愿进行应用。

2024年11月26日 · RTO vs. ISO: What Are Regional Transmission Organizations & Independent System Operators? Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs) are both federally regulated entities that manage and coordinate the flow of electricity across large parts of the power transmission grid.

In conjunction with the ISO’s Transmission Operating Agreements, the ISO tariff helps satisfy FERC requirements for the ISO’s functioning as a Regional Transmission Organization (RTO). The ISO is one of nine RTOs and Independent System Operators (ISOs) in North America. FERC created us as an ISO in 1997.
