Abstract: This paper proposes a selection strategy for determining the optimal capacity and location of a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) device under intermittent output variations of renewable energy sources using a multi-objective cuckoo search (MOCS) algorithm. The impact of seasonal output variations on the location and capacity of the STATCOM devices was analyzed based on the daily output variations of the wind turbines. Three objective functions were considered to determine the optimal location and capacity of the STATCOM devices: (1) minimizing the system line losses, (2) minimizing the transient voltage indicators, and (3) minimizing the total cost of the STATCOM capacity. MOCS was combined with the Pareto front to determine the non-dominated solution sets for the four seasons. The Manhattan distance method was used to select the most suitable installation locations and capacities within a specified time interval. Power flow calculations were performed using DIgSILENT Power Factory 2021 and MATLAB R2021b. To validate the proposed method, a test experiment was conducted using an IEEE 39 bus system.
