Abstract
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, mini-hydroelectric, and wind power sources. Case studies on a
configuration of the Portuguese Generating System are presented and discussed. Copyright#2006 JohnWiley &
