The importance of power system operation is becoming increasingly significant due to the escalating demand observed in many nations. The exponential growth in load demand exerts substantial stress on electrical power systems, since they run in close proximity to their critical thresholds due to limitations imposed by environmental and economic factors. The basic goal of operating electrical power networks is to efficiently supply energy to users at optimal frequency and voltage levels, with a focus on cost minimization. The main objective of this study is to examine the augmentation of voltage stability margin by deploying Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) at their ideal positions. In order to determine the most efficient size of a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), it is necessary to explore the relationship between the loading factor and the capacity of the STATCOM. The case study utilized the Iraqi National Super Grid System (INSGS), which consisted of a 24-bus configuration. The effectiveness of the CPF technique has been assessed in the framework of the Iraqi Super Grid test System. The appropriate place for attaching STATCOM to enhance voltage stability in the Iraqi network system was identified to be Bus (20).

The Iraqi National Super Grid Power System is facing significant challenges in terms of stability and reliability, leading to power outages and disruptions. One potential solution to this problem is the integration of solar photovoltaic generator (SPVG) into the grid system. This article explores the optimal location and size of solar PV generators in order to improve the stability and reliability of the Iraqi National Super Grid Power System (INSGPS). The simulation results showed that the bus (20) is the optimal location for connecting the solar PV generator, and also through the simulation a 1000 MW is the optimal capacity (optimal size) of the SPVG determined using the capacitance technique, that gives the least losses in the power system network, which led to an improvement in the voltage margin and an increase in the load factor, which enhanced the stability of the system. The program software, which was utilized in this work were done by MATLAB (R2020a) package based on power system network load flow analysis tool-box (PSAT - version 2.1.11) using Newton-Raphson (N-R) algorithm.
