Topology control is a significant method to reduce energy consumption and prolong the network lifetime. Connected Dominated Sets (CDS) are emerging technologies construct energy- efficient optimal topology. Traditional topology construction algorithms not utilized suitable optimization techniques for finding optimum location of active nodes in networks. In this paper, Bacteria Foraging Algorith...

In this paper, an optimization method based on the foraging behavior of a colony of honey bees in nature was proposed. An optimized model for Proportional Integral Derivative (PID)speed controller of 3-phase IM drives was introduced to adapt the constant gains of this classical controller. To enhance robustness of this controller, an online algorithm for self-tuning of PID controller-parameters...

This paper presents a new Hybrid Particle Swarm optimization with Time Varying Acceleration Coefficients (HPSOTVAC) and Bacteria Foraging Algorithm (BFA) namely (PSOTVAC/BFA) base fuzzy stochastic long term approach for determining optimum location and size of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). The Monte Carlo simulation method is used to model the uncertainties associated with long-term load...
