The steady state behaviour of an interconnected DFIG based wind farm with STATCOM and SVC is studied and compared for performance evaluation of the two FACTs devices. . A case was developed in which when the load is connected at the point of common coupling there is a voltage dip which if not timely corrected then it will eventually leads to voltage instability of interconnected power system. the responses of both the system is analyzed and is found that STATCOM and SVC have made the voltage and reactive power made them stable but the STATCOM yielded better results in terms of time response than SVC in voltage control. Reactive power wise. it was found that STATCOM becomes stable in a shorter time span relative to SVC.
