Voltage stability categorized under various classifications of power system stability is considered one of the important subjects in power systems stability studies. A power system, experiencing disturbances, is at risks of voltage instability. Main reason for the cause of voltage instability is the sag in reactive power at various locations due to circuit contingencies classified under large disturbance voltage stability. The aim of this paper is to identify the optimal location of Unified Power Flow Controller in an interconnected power system under N-1 contingency. As the size and the cost of the FACTS devices are high, an optimal location and size has to be identified before they are actually installed. We are trying to improve the voltage profile and Maximum Loading Parameter using Unified Power Flow Controller while determining their optimal location based upon Cat Swarm Optimization.
