In modern, stressed distribution system, voltage stability is a major concern from planning and operation perspectives. Remote wind farm connected to a weak distribution system through a long line could adversely affect the voltage stability of the respective distribution network. This paper investigates the transient and steady‐state voltage issues of a distribution network with a distant doubly fed induction generator ( DFIG )‐based wind farm. Results show that a distant DFIG ‐based wind farm could improve the voltage stability of a distribution network with a large motor load in steady‐state operating condition as well as following disturbances, like three‐phase faults, sudden load tripping, and motor starting.
