Within this framework, the thesis “Evaluation of missing capacity and resource adequacy in an interconnected power system” aims to answer the following question: “How to reach reliability targets in the interconnected European power system?". To answer this question the concept of Missing Capacity is introduced as a possible adequacy indicator that quantifies the required capacity to reach a pre-defined reliability target in a specific region. The evaluation of missing capacity can be classified by the area of study, i.e. single or multi-area, and by the capacity expansion source, i.e. generation and/or interconnection capacity expansion. Following such classification, a methodology for the evaluation of Missing Capacity is presented. Furthermore, by analyzing the transmission capacity expansion approach the contribution of interconnectors to system adequacy is investigated.
