From the wind power integration perspective, this energy source imposes additional requirements, mainly due to the inherent unpredictable characteristic of the wind. Besides the uncertainties in load and generating unit availabilities, the operating reserve needs also to deal with the fluctuation characteristic of the wind power. Therefore, more flexibility of the conventional generators (hydro and thermal) is required to provide system support services. This paper discusses a new methodology based on chronological Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate the operating reserve requirements of generating systems with large amounts of renewable energy sources, in particular, wind power. en dc.identifier.uri http://repositorio.inesctec.pt/handle/123456789/2328 dc.language eng en dc.relation 214 en dc.relation 4660 en dc.rights info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess en dc.title Long Term Evaluation of Operating Reserve with High Penetration of Renewable Energy Sources en dc.type conferenceObject en dc.type Publication en
