The increase in load which increases every year causes a decrease in voltage on the line which is getting bigger. The voltage drop on the transmission line greatly affects the quality of the voltage. The voltage that arrives at the electrical equipment will decrease which in turn reduces the performance of the equipment. The power flow study uses the Fast Decoupled method, the voltage on each bus can be determined. The performance parameters observed are the value of the power factor, voltage, active power, and reactive power to determine the parameters for the location and size of the capacitor bank capacities and the static var compensator (SVC). By increasing the power factor in the range of 0.85pu to 0.95pu, the bus voltage can fulfill the SPLN standard. Parameters are designed and simulated using the ETAP programming software version 12.6.0 by testing each bus that experiences a voltage drop in turn based on the voltage limit and the power factor value ≤ 0.85pu. Furthermore, several buses with the appropriate capacity rating are selected to increase the voltage on the system. The simulation results will show the effectiveness of the capacitor bank and static var compensator (SVC) to increase the voltage value on each bus.
