The fault occur in the system are solved by FACTS controller such as STATCOM. The stability of fixed-speed induction generator (FSIG)-based wind turbines can be improved by a STATCOM. Under unbalanced grid voltage dips, the negativesequence voltage causes heavy generator torque oscillations that reduce the lifetime of the drive train. A STATCOM control structure with the capability to coordinate the control between the positive and the negative sequence of the grid voltage is proposed. This paper also presents current status of mitigation of power quality problems by FACTS controllers. Keywords-Flexible Alternating current Transmission Systems (FACTS), FACTS controllers, Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), Power systems.
