Meta-heuristic algorithms are applied in optimization problems in a variety of fields, including engineering, economics, and computer science. In this paper, seven population-based meta-heuristic algorithms are employed for size and geometry optimization of truss structures. These algorithms consist of the Artificial Bee Colony algorithm, Cyclical Parthenogenesis Algorithm, Cuckoo Search algori...

This paper sets up an Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm for evolving ant direction Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) to solve the Economic Power Dispatch (EPD) problem. The method ABC-ACO employs the bee colony to find a suitable and the best values operators to improve the ACO. The feasibility of the proposed approach was tested on IEEE 57-bus system. The proposed approach simulation results, ...

Cluster examination is data mining task for the assignment of collection a set of items in such a path, to the point that questions in the same gathering (called a cluster) are more like one another than to those in different gatherings (clusters). K-means grouping is a technique for group investigation which intends to parcel n perceptions into k groups in which every perception fits in with t...

Congestion management is a task performed by Independent System Operator (ISO) to ensure the operation of transmission system within limits. In an emerging electric power market, congestion management is highly important and inefficient management can be a barrier to electricity trading. To minimize congestion, it is required to maximize transmission line generation and decrease its cost. A Hyb...

The Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) problems in power generation systems are to reduce the fuel cost by reducing the total cost for the generation of electric power. This paper presents an efficient Modified Firefly Algorithm (MFA), for solving ELD Problem. The main objective of the problems is to minimize the total fuel cost of the generating units having quadratic cost functions subjected to lim...

This paper presents artificial bee colony optimization for solving multi-area economic dispatch (MAED) problem with tie line constraints considering transmission losses, multiple fuels, valve-point loading and prohibited operating zones. Artificial bee colony optimization is a swarm-based algorithm inspired by the food foraging behavior of honey bees. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm...

An improved method for adaptive noise canceller (ANC) is proposed for noisy speech signal in case of random noise. In this approach, ANC is implemented through four different metaheuristic techniques. A comparative study of the performance of various metaheuristic techniques such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), Cuckoo Search (CS) and Modified Cuckoo Search (MC...
