Abstract: Voltage is always the most important part of the power system response and it is an important aspect of system stability and its security. The voltage instability generally results in monotonically decreasing voltages. So that Flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices play an important role in improving the performance of the power system, but these devices are very costly and so need to be placed optimally. During a large disturbance improving the systems voltage by upgrading the reactive power handling capacity of the system by using SVC is the area of study. Thus the effect of Static VAR Compensator (SVC) in voltage stability enhancement will be studied in this paper and a technique is based on line stability index, real power performance index and reduction of total system VAR power losses has been intended to decide the optimal location of SVC.
