Abstract

Voltage stability in distribution line plays a vital role in Power System area. This paper investigates the voltage stability Enhancement using STATCOM and UPFC under different loading condition. The FACTS devices improve the reactive power handling capacity of the system. In this paper, the effects of FACTS controller on voltage stability improvement have been studied. Continuation Power Flow (CPF) analysis is done using Power System Analysis Toolbox (PSAT) software. Based on a voltage-sourced converter (VSC), the STATCOM regulates system voltage by absorbing or generating reactive power.
