    The load flow analysis was carried out to establish base voltage at various buses. The buses that have the voltages fall below the prescribed or nominal voltage range between 0.95 and 1.05 p.u. volt are considered as faulty buses. These include bus 1, bus 4 and bus 5 with per unit volts of 1.06, 1.057 and 0.8897p.u respectively. After the incorporation of STATCOM, the p.u. volts at buses 1, 4 and 5 improved to 1.025 p.u., 1.026 p.u. and 1.01 p.u. respectively. The total active power loss without STATCOM is 323.9891MW while that of the reactive power loss 50.07631MVar and the total active power loss with STATCOM is 275.6053MW while that of the reactive power loss is 18.79948MVar. The losses reduced when STATCOM was incorporated into the distribution network. Therefore, the percentage of power system improvement is 17.6% when STATCOM was incorporated.
