As they are more efficient in extracting wind energy, variable speed wind power plants (WPPs) are currently replacing the fixed speed WPPs. One possible way to achieve a variable speed WPP is by using a squirrel cage induction generator (SCIG) with full-scale power electronic converter (PEC). In fact, as its cost is relatively lower, the application of SCIG-based variable speed WPP is gaining popularity nowadays. To be able to perform proper analyses (including the load flow analysis) of an electric power system, valid and accurate modeling of the system components is very important. This paper discusses the steady state model of SCIG-based variable speed WPP in power factor control mode for a load flow analysis of an electric power distribution system. The model was developed based on formulas that calculate the turbine mechanical power input and WPP electrical power output. Integration of the proposed model in load flow analysis is also discussed and presented in this paper.
