The purpose of this paper is to apply and assess the performance of FACTS controllers for dynamic voltage support: Dynamic VAR (D-VAR™) and Advanced Static Compensator (STATCOM), in a large metropolitan area. To determine the best location for these controllers, modal analysis and timedomain simulations are used. A good correlation was found between the two techniques. Performance is discussed with only D-VAR™ in place, only STATCOM's in place, and a combination of the two.
