The aim of this paper is to evaluate a hybrid biogeography-based optimization approach based on the hybridization of biogeography-based optimization with differential evolution to solve the optimal power flow problem. The proposed method combines the exploration of differential evolution with the exploitation of biogeography-based optimization effectively to generate the promising candidate solutions. Simulation experiments are carried on standard 26-bus and IEEE 30-bus systems to illustrate the efficacy of the proposed approach. Results demonstrated that the proposed approach converged to promising solutions in terms of quality and convergence rate when compared with the original biogeography-based optimization and other population based optimization techniques like simple genetic algorithm, mixed integer genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization and craziness based particle swarm optimization.

Purpose – Meta-heuristic algorithms are efficient in achieving the optimal solution for engineering problems. Hybridization of different algorithms may enhance the quality of the solutions and improve the efficiency of the algorithms. The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel, robust hybrid meta-heuristic optimization approach by adding differential evolution (DE) mutation operator to the accelerated particle swarm optimization (APSO) algorithm to solve numerical optimization problems. Design/methodology/approach – The improvement includes the addition of DE mutation operator to the APSO updating equations so as to speed up convergence. Findings – A new optimization method is proposed by introducing DE-type mutation into APSO, and the hybrid algorithm is called differential evolution accelerated particle swarm optimization (DPSO). The difference between DPSO and APSO is that the mutation operator is employed to fine-tune the newly generated solution for each particle, rather than random walks used in APSO. Originality/value – A novel hybrid method is proposed and used to optimize 51 functions. It is compared with other methods to show its effectiveness. The effect of the DPSO parameters on convergence and performance is also studied and analyzed by detailed parameter sensitivity studies.

Generally, transportation costs account for approximately half of the total operation expenses of a logistics firm. Therefore, any effort to optimize the planning of vehicle routing would be substantially beneficial to the company. This study focuses on a postman delivery routing problem of the Chiang Rai post office, located in the Chiang Rai province of Thailand. In this study, two metaheuristic methods—particle swarm optimization (PSO) and differential evolution (DE)—were applied with particular solution representation to find delivery routings with minimum travel distances. The performances of PSO and DE were compared along with those from current practices. The results showed that PSO and DE clearly outperformed the actual routing of the current practices in all the operational days examined. Moreover, DE performances were notably superior to those of PSO.
