The continuous demand in electric power system leads to voltage instability. There may be insufficient
reactive power causing voltage drop. The enhancement of voltage stability using static synchronous series
compensator (SSSC) improves the system performance such as increase in transmittable power, transmission angle,
power factor improvement and decrease line series reactance. Static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) is used
to investigate the effect of this device and will be controlling active and reactive power as well as power oscillation
damping. The steady state performance of SSSC will be presented using MATLAB software.
