Abstract :
The purpose of this paper is to assess the performance of FACTS shunt controllers for dynamic voltage support: Dynamic VAr (D-VArreg system) and advanced static compensator (STATCOM), as a corrective measure to reduce the risk of voltage collapse in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area. To determine the best location for these controllers, modal analysis and time-domain simulations are both applied
