Optimizing dynamic voltage restorers with Bee Optimization Algorithm for enhanced power quality in modern hydro turbine grids.

This study explores the optimization of dynamic voltage restorers (DVRs) within hydro turbine systems using the Bee Optimization Algorithm (BOA), focusing on enhancing power system stability and quality through advanced control strategies. Emphasizing total harmonic distortion (THD) minimization, the research addresses power quality challenges prevalent in hydroelectric power generation. Detailed simulations demonstrate how BOA effectively reduces THD, optimizing DVR performance in response to grid disturbances typical in renewable energy integrations. Findings validate the BOA's efficacy in improving voltage stability and underscore the potential of bio-inspired algorithms for smart grid applications in hydro settings. This approach not only supports the reliability of hydroelectric power systems but also opens new avenues for employing multi-objective optimization techniques to advance DVR functionality, contributing to the sustainable management of energy infrastructures.
