Abstract

In present time the power demand increases more rapidly in the power generation and transmission and distribution system sector. For maintaining the stability and steady state operation of power system causes from disturbance, faults and suddenly changing of the load, voltage instability, voltage sag, and change in frequency, stability is the most important factor for the power system. Due to instability, different problems occur in power system such as fluctuation in voltage and frequency, which may cause damage or failure of power system. This paper presents survey of various methods for enhancement of voltage stability by using different FACTS controllers. For voltage stability problem, the solutions with FACTS-controllers provide voltage support to the power system network. In this survey article will be very much helpful to the researchers for finding out the relevant references in the field of voltage stability analysis by different FACTS controllers in power system networks. Voltage stability is a one of the major focused areas in recent days due to difference between generation and demand. For voltage stability, maintenance is a challenging issue in planning and security assessment of power systems. Voltage instability problems mostly occur in heavily loaded systems where distance is large between the generator and load. Due to the application of reactive power compensation or load shedding may prevent this type of voltage instability.
