This comprehensive study investigates advanced techniques for enhancing transient stability in modern power systems with high penetration of renewable energy sources and inverter-based resources. The research evaluates the effectiveness of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices, including Static Var Compensators (SVCs) and Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOMs), as well as Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), in improving system stability under severe fault conditions. Using a detailed IEEE 39-bus system model developed in PSS®E, various contingency scenarios are analyzed to assess their impact on rotor angle stability, voltage recovery, frequency response, and critical clearing time. The study compares the individual and coordinated performance of these technologies to identify the most effective approach for mitigating transient instability. The results demonstrate that while FACTS devices provide valuable reactive power support and voltage regulation, the coordinated operation of BESS and STATCOM offers superior dynamic performance by simultaneously supplying both active and reactive power. The findings provide practical insights for optimizing control strategies, device placement, and system operation, contributing to the development of more resilient, reliable, and sustainable future power networks.

We cordially invite all faculty members and students to attend this important event. The defense will take place on Sunday, June 14, 2026, at 12 :45 PM. in room B15-3-2-012 at the College of Engineering, University City of Fara’a. Your presence and participation will not only support Khalid but also foster an engaging academic discussion.

We look forward to seeing you there!
