Abstract
To improve voltage profile, we can use FACTS equipment. One of them is SVC (Static Var Compensator). This study aims to determine the location and optimal capacity of SVC and to determine the effect after SVC installation. This research was conducted in 150 kV transmission system, West Java load regulator area of South Bandung and New Ujungberung subsystem. The research method used for power flow simulation is Newton Raphson and to determine the optimal position and capacity of SVC was using genetic algorithm in MATLAB R2014. After the SVC placement is optimized, then the system performance will increase such as the voltage of all buses is at the standard level and the decrease of power losses.
