The stability of the power system is essential to ensure its proper functioning. In recent years, Flexible AC Transmission Systems have been considered as one of the effective methods to improve the control ability of the power system and power transition constraints. One of the devices of the parallel flexible alternating current transmission systems is STATCOM which can improve the power system dynamic and transient voltage stability. In this study, a new method for designing the damping controller was proposed to improve the transient power system stability in a single machine network connected to an infinite bus. The STATCOM controller problem in a wide area of the system function was considered as an optimization problem with multi-purpose objective function. Also, the Honey Bee Mating Optimization Algorithm was used to determine its parameters.
