Abstract :
In this paper, a procedure is established for calculating the load flow probability density function in an electrical power network, taking into account the presence of wind power generation. The probability density function of the power injected in the network by a wind turbine is first obtained by utilizing a quadratic approximation of its power curve. With this model, the DC power flow of a network is calculated, considering the probabilistic nature of the power injected or consumed by the generators and the loads.
