Integration of DFIG-Based Variable Speed Wind Turbine into Load Flow Analysis

Abstract

This paper proposes a method to model and integrate DFIG (Doubly-Fed Induction Generator)-based WPP (Wind Power Plant) into DSLF (Distribution System Load Flow) analysis. In the present work, the proposed model is developed using the formulas that calculate the stator current and rotor power of the DFIG. Modeling of the DFIG power electronic converter, which is usually quite complex, is not required in the proposed method. Application of the method in distribution system is also discussed and presented in this paper.
