The zonal reserves in MOST are designed for deterministic problems. See footnote 19 at the bottom of page 35 in the MOST User’s Manual <http://www.pserc.cornell.edu/matpower/docs/MOST-manual-1.0.pdf>.
So, it is designed to handle either zonal reserve requirements or stochastic wind, but not both simultaneously. A clear understanding of MOST's problem formulation as described in the manual should help here.
