Abstract: The use of renewable energy such as wind energy is one of the affordable solutions to achieve the most capital electric power demand, because this resource is efficient as well as being the cleanest, renewable in nature. However, in Algeria, the electrical power system located in the highland region, which has considerable wind potential, is usually not strong enough and the voltage stability issues caused by a possible installation of wind farm may require dynamic compensation devices, such as distributed - flexible AC transmission s ystem (D - FACTS). Therefore, this paper investigates the implementation of parallel D - FACTS systems, under grid fault conditions, with taking into acco unt the grid requirements over low voltage ride through (LVRT) performance and the voltage stability issue for wind farm connected to the distribution network at the Algerian highland region. Then, two types of D - FACTS devices conside red in this paper are both the distribution s tatic VAR compensator (D -SVC) and the distribution static synchronous c ompensator (D -STATCOM). Some simulation results show a comparative study between the D -SVC and D -ST ATCOM devices connected at the point of common coupling (PCC) to support wind farm based on doubly fed induction g enerator (DFIG) under grid fault conditions. Finally, we present a solution to this problem by dimensioning and giving the appropriate choice of D - FACTS system, while offering feasibility study of this wind farm project by economic.
