Abstract: With the ever increasing demand of power, the major concern that has aroused is the problem of voltage instability. Due to voltage instability several major power system failures and blackouts occur. Voltage stability thus becomes a necessity. For this FACTS devices like SVC, STATCOM, etc. are used. Load Flow analysis and Continuation Power Flow Analysis is done to identify the weak buses and FACTS devices are installed in these weak buses to enhance the voltage stability. This paper presents a network formulation of IEEE 30 Bus test system using MATLAB and PSAT software and then comparing the effect of SVC and STATCOM for voltage stability enhancement.
