We report results from a series of numerical simulations of the reduced magnetohydrodynamic equations, used to describe the dynamics of magnetic loops in active regions of the solar corona. A stationary velocity field is applied at the photospheric boundaries to imitate the driving action of granule motions. After several photospheric turnover times, a turbulent stationary regime is reached, characterized by a broadband power spectrum and heating rate levels compatible with the heating requirements of active region loops. The energy dissipation rate as a function of time displays an intermittent behavior in the form of impulsive events, which we associate to the so-called nanoflares. A statistical analysis of these events yields a power law distribution as a function of their energies, which is consistent with those obtained for flare energy distributions reported from X-ray observations.
