The parameter optimization of designed controllers for power systems is always a big concern and needs a lot of effort of researchers especially when the electricity grid becomes larger and more complex. The paper proposes a control parameterization using genetic algorithms (GA) for power oscillation damping (POD) incorporating in synchronous condensers via softwarein-the-loop simulation to enhance the damping and frequency stability for low inertia systems. A closed-loop interfaced setup among real-time digital simulator (RTDS), Matlab, and OLE for Process Communication (OPC) running in real time is analyzed and implemented to optimize the POD parameters of a synchronous condenser. Furthermore, a Prony technique based on the system measurement is applied to find out the frequency and damping ratio of the dominant oscillation mode. The POD optimal parameters are determined by the GA objective function that maximizes the damping ratio of the dominant oscillation mode. The effectiveness of the proposed method in damping power oscillations and frequency stability improvement is verified through simulation results of the future Western Danish power system. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach offers a good performance for parameter optimization of the POD
