Abstract: This paper presents the results of the analysis of the generating adequacy in the power system considering the introduction of wind generating power units. The Loss of load probability is the measure utilized for the evaluation of the electricity generation adequacy. The uncertainty of the wind generators output power and power system peak load uncertainty are considered in the analysis. The implication of the substitution of nuclear power plants with wind generating units on the risk of the remaining operational nuclear power plants within the analysed power system is evaluated.
