VIII. CONCLUSION
In this paper, voltage stability analysis of Central Travancore
grid in Kerala is analyzed and found that on increasing the
load demand the grid may lose its stability and may even go to
black out if the system is not properly handled. Incorporating
STATCOM at the optimal location in the grid helps to
increase the loadability of the system, so that the system may
have enhanced voltage stability. By incorporating STATCOM
the loadability of the present grid was improved to 1.6 p.u.
form 1.4 p.u. The result seemed to be quite promising when
tested on IEEE 14-bus system.
