This paper proposes a solution to deal with the unsymmetrical transient faults in the Medium Voltage DC Shipboard Power System (MVDC SPS), which is employing Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) on the AC load side of the SPS. An improved Genetic Algorithm (FGA) approach is also introduced to design the STATCOM's controller. The performance of the proposed FGA-based controller design compared with the GA-based STATCOM design under different operating conditions and faults. The simulation results confirm that the optimal design of the controller with FGA optimization technique provides an acceptable post-disturbance and post-fault performance to recover the system to its normal situation.
