Here, metaheuristic search techniques are applied for robotic path planning. Robot has to move from its starting point called source point to final point called as destination point with minimum number of moves and iteration. Here both cuckoo search and bat algorithms are applied for the proposed problem and simulation results are compared. The techniques are applied for different number of pop...

The diversity created during the searching process in swarm intelligence algorithms plays an important part that affects the exploration ability. The searching result can be further improved if the algorithm gives consideration to both the exploitation and the exploration. In this paper, the evolved bat algorithm is improved by replacing the fixed value, which is determined by the media, with a...

In this paper, BAT Algorithm is proposed to solve thermal unit commitment (UC) problem. The objective of UC is to determine the optimal generation of the committed units to meet the load demand and spinning reserve at each time interval, such that the overall cost of generation is minimized, while satisfying different operational constraints. BAT is a new cooperative agents approach, which is i...

– Electricity, today, has not only become a necessity but also a tool for determining the economic standing and growth of a nation. The exponential growth in demand over the past two decades and the widening gap between demand and supply is a growing concern. So as to reduce this gap, in addition to adding new generating units, automation technology is being employed for reducing the T&D losses...

Stochastic configuration network (SCN) is a mathematical model of incremental generation under supervision mechanism, which has universal approximation property and advantages in data modeling. However, the efficiency SCN affected by some parameters. An optimized searching algorithm for input weights biases proposed this paper. optimization with constraints first established based on convergenc...

Web services are provided as reusable software components in the services-oriented architecture. More complicated composite can be combined from these to satisfy user requirements represented a workflow with specified Quality of Service (QoS) limitations. The consists tasks where many considered for each task. Searching optimal combination and optimizing overall QoS limitations is Non-determini...

Through this article, a novel random structure is depicted to shape the uncertainty result of the active and reactive loads in the DSTATCOM allocation and problem in sizing. The planned technique has 2m+1 point approximation method (PEM) to capture the random associated with the anticipated fault of the loads. The aims are minimization of the entire active power losses which lessen the voltage ...
