Abstract
This paper investigates the effects of Static Var Compensator (SVC) and Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) on voltage Collapse of a power system. The effect of Critical Fault Clearing Time [CFCT] of the system due to facing the fault, to prevent permanent voltage instability has been analyzed. Comparative performance evaluation of SVC and STATCOM has been examined. A Power System Computer Aided Design /Electromagnetic Transients including DC (PSCAD/EMTDC) is used to carry out simulations of the system under study and detailed results are shown to access the performance of SVC and STATCOM on the voltage collapse of the system.
