The increase of wind generation has challenged the conventional way of probabilistic load flow (PLF) calculation. A reliable and efficient PLF method is required to face the stochastic nature of various power systems with wind generation (WG). Firstly, the paper analyzes several typical cumulant methods (CMs) for PLF, such as Gram-Charlier expansion of type A (GCA), Gram-Charlier expansion of type C (GCC), and maximum entropy (ME). Then, an improved integrated CM by probability distribution pre-identification is proposed for power systems with WG based on doubly fed induction generations (DFIGs). The skewness and kurtosis are used as probability distribution pre-identification indices in the CM framework. Meanwhile, the influence of the DFIG control strategy on reactive power is considered in the load flow model and the moment calculation. Finally, the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method are validated with the IEEE test system. In various scenarios, suitable CM is selected and applied to the PLF based on pre-identifying distribution characteristics. Results reveal that probabilistic density functions (PDFs) of bus voltages and line flows obtained by the proposed method have both accuracy and efficiency.INDEX TERMS Probabilistic load flow (PLF), integrated cumulant method (integrated CM), doubly fed induction generation (DFIG), Gram-Charlier expansion of type A (GCA), Gram-Charlier expansion of type C (GCC), maximum entropy (ME).
