Abstract:The contemporary power system is intricate in structure, it comprises of enormous number of distinct static and dynamic devices. The ever increasing demand for electrical power by consumers on the existing AC transmission power system via injection station due to urbanization poses challenges of voltage thicker, voltage instability, overloaded lines and congestion of lines thus exceeding their thermal limits which result to malfunction and eventually breakdown of transformers due to stress. In this research work, the shunt compensation method is adopted to compensate reactive power, electrical buses and fitter in conjunction with a family of flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) is used to design a system to counter the challenge at the injection station, MATLAB is used to verified the functionality and effeteness of the designed on AC transmission network. Three cases were considered, during fault current, capacitive load and inductive load. The analysis demonstrates a significant improvement on the reactive power of the AC transmission network. This illustrate that the improved technique (STATCOM plus) provides an interpretation to the challenges of malfunction and breakdown of the distribution transformer at the injection station, this is to say that with the integration of the STARTCOM plus on the AC transmission power system reactive power is compensated thus increase in system capacity is achieved, allowing suppliers to have excess of power for marketing and reduction of electricity bills for consumers.

He has comparable experience and professional certifications in Health, Safety and Environment; has practiced project management including initial planning and scoping, scheduling, sourcing and procurement of materials and testing of integrated utility management systems, and is equipped with a mindset that facilitates the formulation and implementation of strategies that have significantly improved preventative maintenance and cost efficiency.
