Abstract: Electricity generation from wind has grown sharply and its growth potential is still significant. However, the decentralized nature of the wind opposes the historically centralized structure of national networks. Unlike conventional sources, wind does not provide reactive power, which is necessary to maintain acceptable voltage conditions on the network. The use of Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) in distribution network to compensate for vagaries such as production related to wind energies and to control the voltage is an optimal solution.
