An Object-Oriented Software Implementation of a Modified Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Algorithm

چکیده
This paper describes an object-oriented software system for continuous optimization by a modified artificial bee colony (ABC) metaheuristic. Karaboga’s ABC algorithm was successfully used on many optimization problems and there is also a corresponding program in C. We implemented a modified version in C# which is easier for maintenance since it is object-oriented and which uses threads and significantly increases execution speed on multicore processors. The application includes flexible GUI (graphical user interface) and it was successfully tested on standard benchmark problems and one additional problem. Key-Words: Artificial Bee Colony, Optimization Metaheuristic, Software System, Swarm Intelligence

Optimal Operation of Microgrid in the presence of Real-time Pricing Demand Response Program using Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm with a Modified Choice Function
Abstract: Microgrid is one of the newest technologies in power systems. Microgrid can usually has a set of distributed energy resources that makes it able to operate separate from power grid. Optimal operation of microgrids means the optimal dispatch of power resources through day and night hours. This thesis proposed a new method for optimal operation of microgrid. In this method, real-time pr...
