**3. Reliability modeling**

Monte Carlo simulation treats the occurrence of failures as a random event, which mimics the wind speed distribution [32]. For example, in a time series wind speed data, some of the wind speeds are below the cut-in speed of the wind turbine and, as such, will not produce power at the wind turbine output. Such wind speed data can be considered as failure events, which occur randomly. In addition, this research focuses on assessing the reliability of the microgrid system in power generation and supply, considering the wind speed as the primary uncertainty of the system. Hence, Monte Carlo is applied and presented herein.
