Popis: STATCOM is a FACTS device installed in power systems for damping stability and increasing power transmission capacity. The algorithms used to control the STATCOM often use a PID controller. However, the PID controller is not robust for its stability control in highly nonlinear and complex systems. This paper presents the application firefly algorithm for improving the STATCOM controller to enhance the stability in a network connected to a wind energy system. The wind energy system is represented as a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) driven by a Wind Turbine (WT). The power grid is simulated by an IEEE standard 14-bus system encompassing 14 nodes, 5 sources, and 11 loads. The studied wind power system is one of 5 sources that supply power to the network. Simulation results are performed with different disturbance conditions for testing the stability of the studied system. It can be concluded from simulation results that the proposed STATCOM controller helps improve the studied system's stability.
