In this study, voltage, active power and reactive power variation of load bus were examined by Flexible AC Transmission Systems devices (FACTS) in grid-connected wind farm. In the system, FACTS devices, Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOM), Static VAr Compensators (SVC), Static Synchronous Series Compensators (SSSC) and Thyristor Controlled Series Compensators (TCSC), were used. Also, dual feed induction generator (DFIG) was used as generator in the wind farm. This simulation study was done via Matlab/Simulink environment. According to different values of active and reactive loads at different times being attached to the system, shapes of load bus voltage, active power and reactive power variation were given, also the results were presented in tables. In the conclusion of this study, by means of FACTS devices that is used in the wind farm, instability was healed within a short time.
