During the history of science of computational, many evolutionary algorithms approaches were proposed having more or less success in solving various optimization problems. The algorithm is applied for numerical simulations based on optimized proportional integral derivative (PID) control of an automatic regulator voltage system for nominal system parameters and step reference voltage input illu...

In this paper, a novel compensator based on Magnetically Controlled Reactor with Fixed Capacitor banks (FC-MCR) is introduced and then power system stability in presence of this compensator is studied using an intelligent control method. The problem of robust FC-MCR-based damping controller design is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem. The multi-objective problem is concocted ...

Artificial Bee Colony algorithm is an optimization algorithm based on the intelligent behavior of honey bee swarm. This paper presents Bee Swarm Optimization intended to introduce chaotic sequences and psychology factor of emotion into the algorithm. We define two emotions Bees could have, positive and negative, and correspond to two reaction to perception respectively. For avoiding premature c...

Data clustering is the process of partitioning a set of data objects into meaning clusters or groups. Due to the vast usage of clustering algorithms in many fields, a lot of research is still going on to find the best and efficient clustering algorithm. K-means is simple and easy to implement, but it suffers from initialization of cluster center and hence trapped in local optimum. In this paper...

In this paper, the optimal location and tuning parameters of Static Var Compensator (SVC), Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) stabilizer with low pass filter and Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) controllers using multi objective Honey Bee Mating Optimization (HBMO) to damp small signal oscillations in a multi machine power system has been implemented. Whereas, the performance ...

Economic dispatch is one of the popular energy system optimization problems. Recently, it has been solved by various phenomenon-mimicking metaheuristic algorithms such as genetic algorithm, tabu search, evolutionary programming, particle swarm optimization, harmony search, honey bee mating optimization, and firefly algorithm. However, those phenomenonmimicking problems require a tedious and tro...
