• An algorithm for determining optimal reserve capacity in a power market is presented in this paper. Optimization process in the proposed algorithm is based on the cost-benefit trade off. Market clearance is executed with consideration of uncertainties of power system components in an aggregated environment. It is assumed that both generating units and interruptible loads participate in the reserve market. In addition, customers’ reliability requirements are considered as constraints for decision making process of ISO. The rendered method considers random outages of generating units and transmission lines and determined outage of interruptible loads and employs Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) for scenarios generation. Unlike previous methods in which a constant value is assumed for cost of the energy not supplied, a flexible value for this parameter is applied which shows an important effect in the evaluation results. The performance of the proposed method has been examined on the IEEE-Reliability Test System (IEEE-RTS).
