    abstract = {Application of FACTS controller called static synchronous 
  compensator STATCOM to improve the performance of power grid with hybrid wind-diesel 
  system is investigated. The essential feature of the STATCOM is that it has 
  the ability to absorb or inject fastly reactive power with power grid. Therefore, 
  the voltage regulation of the power grid with STATCOM FACTS device is achieved. 
  Moreover, restoring the stability of the power system having hybrid wind-diesel 
  system after occurring severe disturbance, such as faults or suddenly step up 
  wind speed is obtained with STATCOM controller. One of the most common controlling 
  devices in the industry is the Proportional-Integral (PI) controller tuned by 
  Genetic Algorithm (GA) is introduced. Genetic algorithm is employed to find 
  the optimal values for PI controller parameters in a very short time. These 
  methods are tested in MATLAB and their results are obtained. The dynamic model 
  of the power system having hybrid wind-diesel system controlled by proposed 
  STATCOM is developed. To validate the potential of the STATCOM FACTS controller, 
  the studied power system is simulated and subjected to different severe disturbances. 
  The results prove the effectiveness of the proposed STATCOM controller in terms 
  of fast damping of the power system oscillations and restoring the power system 
  stability.}
