Abstract
The voltage instability is one of the major problems in the power system network. Voltage collapse due to instability causes the system voltage to dip to such a value which is not acceptable for stable operation and not capable to recover, which leads to interruption to the supply in the system. Developments in the field of FACTS devices have paved the way to mitigate the problem of voltage instability in the power system network. They also enable the flexible operation of the power system. In the present work, I have simulated Standard IEEE-14 Bus model with standard test data using PSAT software and obtained the results. Then I have increased the reactive load in the system by 5, 10, and 20% in succession, and on comparing the results I have found that Bus 9 and Bus 14 are the weakest buses in the system and hence more prone to the voltage collapse. The FACTs devices have been connected to the buses which are the weakest in the system to improve the voltage stability problem.
