To mitigate such a dilemma, conventional generators need to be replaced by renewable energy sources (RES), i.e, wind turbines (WT), photovoltaic (PV), and battery energy storage systems (BESS). To that end, the integration of RES with the grid has been given great attention over the past few decades. Nonetheless, the interment nature of wind speed and solar irradiation, which results in frequency and voltage deviations as well as variation in power, make high level of the RES integration challenging. To plan the integration of these variable power resources, the concept of capacity credit has been extensively studied and analyzed.101en-UScapacity credit capacity valueeffective load carrying capabilityequivalent firm capacityhybrid PV-WT-battery systemsystem adequacyexpected energy not servedloss of load expectationhourly loss of loaddemand responsereliabilityRELIABILITY CONSTRAINED OPTIMAL SIZING OF RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES AND CAPACITY CREDIT EVALUATIONThesis
