Nowadays, voltage stability issues are the main problems around the world and therefore it is important that to maintain stable voltage stability. Series capacitor compensation plays an important role in the transmission line because it can improve the voltage stability as compared to shunt compensation. The Thyristor-Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) is selected in this project for providing capacitor compensation because its ability to control the amount of compensation in the transmission line, and operating in three different mode of region, which are resonance, capacitive, and inductive regions. The Fast Voltage Stability Index (FVSI) is used to determine the system’s stability and determine the weakest line in the system for TCSC placement. The TCSC sizing is optimized by using Differential Evolution (DE) optimization technique. All these processes are simulated on Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineer (IEEE) 14-bus test system by using MATLAB. The proposed methodology was carried out in few tests, which are system contingency test, line outage test, power loss test, voltage profile improvement test and variable TCSC location. Based on the results, the overall voltage stability of the system was improved. The voltage magnitude for each bus had improved and the total power losses also reduced. Therefore, the optimization is successful and the study’s aim is achieved.
