Application of Monte Carlo simulation to generating system well-being analysis considering renewable sources

This paper presents an application of Monte Carlo chronological simulation to evaluate the reserve requirements of generating systems, considering renewable energy sources. The idea is to investigate the behavior of reliability indices, including those from the well-being analysis, when the major portion of the energy sources is renewable. Renewable in this work comprises hydroelectric, minihydroelectric and wind power sources. Case studies on a configuration of the Portuguese generating system are presented and discussed.
