Abstract: Wind farms interconnected to power system bring new challenges to power system economic operation. It is imperative to study how to solve optimal power flow (OPF) formulation with wind farms. In this paper, a multi-period optimal power flow (DOPF) is studied based on traditional OPF algorithm. According to the characteristic equations of asynchronous generator, the paper deduces a new algorithm that fits the DOPF formulation with wind farms. Based on the primal–dual interior point algorithm (PDIPM), a new modified algorithm is proposed. Besides, the voltage stability indicator, L-indicator, is also introduced into DOPF to demonstrate voltage stability of power system after wind farms incorporation. By taking SVC reactive power compensation into account, the paper analyzes its influences on system voltage stability. In addition, four different static load models are researched to reveal their effects on system-operating characteristics. An example shows the algorithm's effectiveness and computation performance of the proposed method and several conclusions are obtained as well.
