I am looking for some standard literature containing the details about the dimensioning procedure (methodology for primary, secondary, and tertiary) of different countries' frequency operating reserves.

Thanks for suggesting the articles. It's good but the methodology of some of the reserve services are not available. In addition, as it was published in 2012, some of the methodologies might be changed.
Akhilesh Panwar , for the European approach, take a look at the Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1485: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2017/1485/oj
By the way,
FCR = frequency containment reserves (primary)
FRR = frequency restoration reserves (secondary)
RR = replacement reserves (tertiary)
Erick F. Alves Thanks for the document. This does provide information about the responsibility of each of the Synchronous area/Load frequency blocks.
This search is still on as I am looking for the numerical/calculation side of the reserve dimensioning. Like how TSO's do the dimensioning of primary, secondary, tertiary reserve? What parameters do they consider to ensure the sufficiency of the reserve? What is the top to bottom approach to arrive at the given year/hour's required reserve size?
Akhilesh Panwar, take a look at articles 153 (FCR dimensioning), 157 (FRR dimensioning) and 160 (RR dimensioning).
For FCR, you should consider the "reference incident", i.e. the worst-case scenario load and generation loss you may have in your system. For FRR and RR, statistical methods are used. But some TSOs use statistical methods for FCR as well, specially in highly meshed systems, such as Central Europe.
