Abstract: Electrical power systems is a large interconnected network that requires a careful design to maintain the system with continuous power flow operation without any limitations and for the steady state operation of the power system. To achieve this requirement, new technology such as FACTS device is used in load flow analysis. Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) is an application of a power electronics device to control the power flow and to improve the system stability of a power system. STATCOM is a versatile device in the FACTS family of controllers which has the ability to simultaneously control all the transmission parameters of power systems i.e. voltage, impedance, and phase angle which determines the power flow of a transmission line. This said research work is mainly focused on implementation of the steady-state model of STATCOM in Newton Raphson method. The Standard IEEE bus system will be used to verify the effectiveness and performance of the model. The simulations are carried out on standard IEEE bus test system like 30 bus system under the MATLAB environment
