This paper exploits different computational modelling to assess long-term static and operating reserves to multi-area systems. To deal with intermittent renewable generation and other types of technologies, this paper is proposing a flexible simulation model able to capture not only technological innovation of power system components and their electric and energetic behaviors, but also operational procedures and market agreements representations to yield planning insights about the performance of the multi-area systems. Results based on two modified test systems with a variate of generation technologies and interconnections are used to show the potential of the simulation model.
