Abstract
Steady state performances of the electric power distribution system are normally assessed or evaluated based on load flow analysis. To properly carry out the analysis, a valid steady state load flow model of each distribution system component, including the wind power plant (WPP), needs to be developed. The present paper proposes a method for modeling and integrating squirrel cage induction generator (SCIG)-based variable speed WPP into a three-phase unbalanced distribution system load flow (DSLF) analysis. The proposed method is based on a single-phase T-circuit model of fixed speed WPP, which has successfully been applied to balanced electric power systems. In the present work, the single-phase T-circuit model is extended and modified to be used in steady state load flow analysis of three-phase unbalanced distribution systems embedded with SCIG-based variable speed WPP. Results of the case studies confirm the validity of the proposed method.
