Abstract
This study focuses on the improvement of optimization model by applying particle swarm optimization and firefly algorithm methods to get a stable power production utility at its maximum level. Furthermore, it investigates on the minimization of utility loss in power production from the hydropower system, which is done by optimizing the variables of operation control in the hydropower plant at Lake Himreen - Diyala Dam. The variables mentioned are net turbine head, the rate of water flow and power production which had been gathered in the data during a research throughout a 10-year period. The results obtained from these two methods, namely Firefly Algorithm (FA) and Particle Swarm Optimization, (PSO) are compared. The inferences for general comparisons are created through several behavior indicators. The behavior indicators illustrate that FA's performance is better than PSO's performance, in some fields. At the end, the results show the strength of FA, as well as its efficiency and superiority.

Hydropower golden age was set in the first half of the 20th century before oil control gained its dominance in the provision of energy
During hydropower production, when the reservoir is sufficient to generate the energy, the abundance of power production adheres to the rule of the rate of water flow, this model of hydro-turbine is right [5]. The objective of this project is to employ both of Firefly Algorithm (FA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) into the hydropower plant located in Lake Himreen dam
The stability of power production utility at its maximum level was obtained, and the loss of power production in the hydropower system was minimized by optimizing the control of operation variables in the hydropower plant at Himreen Lake Dam - Diyala
Summary
Hydropower golden age was set in the first half of the 20th century before oil control gained its dominance in the provision of energy. While the network load is increasing, the generators that are attached to a hydroturbine begin to be sluggish This condition leads to the change of the output through the reduction of electrical power frequency. The observations made on the reliability of generation systems regard the resource of energy for the power production as continuously available. This indicates that, in general, even one cause of the power production deficit leads to the destruction of electricity generation in power plants. During hydropower production, when the reservoir is sufficient to generate the energy, the abundance of power production adheres to the rule of the rate of water flow, this model of hydro-turbine is right [5]
