Abstract

With increasing load demand day by day, voltage stability problem increasing. To provide continuous reliable power supply to the end consumer it is required to maintain voltage level during power transmission. So it is important to analyze the power system network with respect to voltage stability. This paper covered the how STATCOM and UPFC type facts devices useful to maintain the voltage instability during overload situation and reduced the power losses. For this simulation is carried out using Power System analysis Toolbox (PSAT) on IEEE 14 bus system to find out the week bus during different overloading situation. The continuation Power Flow (CPF) method is used to to find out weakest bus of the power system network. Based on simulation the conclusion is derived for which FACTS device is suitable for overloading situation.
