What is Recap?

Recap 3.0 is a time-sequential, Monte Carlo simulation model that evaluates the hourly availability of resources over hundreds (or thousands) of simulated years to estimate the resource adequacy (RA) of an electric system.

It is primarily used to produce some, or all, of the following.

  • Calculating system reliability

  • Calculating a total reliability need (TRN) based on a reliability target

  • Determining a planning reserve margin (PRM)

  • Calculating resource effective load carrying capability (ELCC)
