Abstract

This paper discusses a method to integrate a wind turbine generating system (WTGS) into a three-phase unbalanced distribution system load flow (DSLF) analysis. The proposed method is based on the single-phase multiple-node model. In the present work, the single-phase multiple-node model is extended to a three-phase multiple-node model to facilitate the load flow analysis of a three-phase unbalanced power system network. The multiple-node model (i.e., three-node model) will only modify the load flow analysis by introducing two lines and two load buses to the distribution system network where the WTGS is installed. Thus, a standard three-phase load flow program can be employed to compute the unknown quantities in the DSLF problem formulation. The proposed method is verified by incorporating the model into the load flow analysis of three-phase distribution networks. The investigation uses two representative distribution networks (i.e., 19-bus and 25-bus networks). The results of the study confirm the validity of the proposed method.
