    abstract = {This research presents a comprehensive method of optimizing the reactive compensation used in
power systems to obtain acceptable voltage profiles during periods of abnormal system loads and foreseeable
contingencies. The system equations which are non-linear are first approximated to a linear form and then Linear
Programming Technique is applied to obtain an optimal solution. An iterative procedure is then used to obtain
results of acceptable accuracy. The main features of this research are not only that both inductive and
capacitive compensation is optimized but also the bus bars where compensation is applied can be selected to
suit the users operating constraints in the case of Independent Power Plant (IPP). Linear Programming Model
was used for the determination of the minimum reactive power, required at designated buses during reactive
compensation. Complete load flow analysis was done using Power System Analysis Tool Box (PSAT) a matlab
base computer software which establishes both normal and contingency bus voltage profiles.}
