This thesis presents a new probabilistic technique to evaluate the operating reserve needs of power systems in a competitive environment. The main objectives are: the capacity assessment for different reserve markets (regulation, spinning, non-spinning and replacement), the needs of these capacities to increase supply reliability and the cost evaluation of the capacity amounts associated with the operating reserve. It is not necessary the prior establishment of a risk index as a reference criterion in order to determine the operating reserve needs of a power system. The developed algorithm is mainly based on the integration of the Loss of Load Cost (LOLC) index with the reserve capacity bid prices, for the assessment of the c...
