- The large-scale replacement of synchronous machines with inverter-based generation (IBG) introduces critical challenges to both voltage and frequency stability. This work builds on a mixed-integer second-order cone programming (MISOCP) framework that co-optimizes unit commitment (UC) model which embeds frequency-nadir constraints through synthetic inertia (SI) dispatch and an SOC voltage stability boundary for IBG buses. The formulation extends by modeling a STATCOM as a reactive-power decision variable in the same MISOCP model. A modified IEEE 30-bus system is used to assess three scheduling strategies: (i) baseline UC with SI only, (ii) voltage-stability-constrained (VSC) UC with SI, and (iii) the joint UC with SI and reactive power support from IBGs. The impact of incorporating a 30~MVAr STATCOM at a weak grid location near the IBG buses is investigated. Simulation results show that the proposed framework enhances voltage security, maintains frequency-nadir compliance, and reduces operating cost, while STATCOM integration further improves dispatch feasibility under high IBG.
