Abstract: Penetration of wind power plants (WPPs) in the electric power system will complicate the system load flow analysis. Consequently, the traditional load flow algorithm can no longer be used to find the solution to the load flow problem of such a system. This paper proposes a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based WPP model for a load flow analysis of the electric power system. The proposed model is derived based on the power formulations of the WPP—namely, DFIG power, DFIG power loss, and WPP power output formulas. The model can be applied to various DFIG power factor operating modes. In the present paper, applications of the proposed methods in two representative electric power systems (i.e., IEEE 14-bus and 30-bus systems) have been investigated. The investigation results verify the proposed method’s capability to solve the load flow problem of the system embedded with DFIG-based variable-speed WPPs.
