Abstract: The paper proposes a model of regulation for transformer secondary voltages in order to improve quality of rectified voltage. For this purpose, a simulation model for an 18-pulse rectifier system was presented. We have defined optimization task by using proposed parallel version of the Polar Bear Optimization (PBO) algorithm. For the developed method simulation results are presented and discussed. Research show that proposed parallelization enabled efficient optimization of the large number of parameters and, at the same time, shortens simulation time.
