Purpose Low-frequency oscillations of 0.1 to 3 Hz are prejudicial to the power system stability. Within this context, this study aims to present an improved artificial bee colony (ABC)-based algorithm for optimal setting of multimachine power system stabilizers (PSSs) under several loading conditions simultaneously. Design/methodology/approach The proposed approach symbolized by GCABC incorporates the grenade explosion technique and the Cauchy operator in the employed bee and onlooker bee phases to avoid random search. The parameters of the grenade explosion method and Cauchy operator based ABC(GCABC)-based PSSs (GCABC-PSSs) are tuned to place all undamped and lightly damped electromechanical modes in a prespecified zone in the s-plan. Findings Simulation results based on eigenvalue analysis and nonlinear time-domain simulation show the potential and the dominance of the proposed controllers GCABC-PSSs in the improvement of the system stability under several disturbances and large set of operating points compared with the classical ABC method and genetic algorithm-based PSSs. Originality/value The novelty of the study is to efficiently implement a new optimization method called GCABC for an optimum design of PSSs. The design problem is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem. In addition, all PSS parameters have been included in the space research.

Purpose – Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is a relatively new optimization method inspired by the herd behavior of honey bees, which shows quite intelligence. The purpose of this paper is to propose an improved ABC optimization algorithm based on chaos theory for solving the push recovery problem of a quadruped robot, which can tune the controller parameters based on its search mechanism. ADAMS simulation environment is adopted to implement the proposed scheme for the quadruped robot. Design/methodology/approach – Maintaining balance is a rather complicated global optimum problem for a quadruped robot which is about seeking a foot contact point prevents itself from falling down. To ensure the stability of the intelligent robot control system, the intelligent optimization method is employed. The proposed chaotic artificial bee colony (CABC) algorithm is based on basic ABC, and a chaotic mechanism is used to help the algorithm to jump out of the local optimum as well as finding the optimal parameters. The implementation procedure of our proposed chaotic ABC approach is described in detail. Findings – The proposed CABC method is applied to a quadruped robot in ADAMS simulator. Using the CABC to implement, the quadruped robot can work smoothly under the interference. A comparison among the basic ABC and CABC is made. Experimental results verify a better trajectory tracking response can be achieved by the proposed CABC method after control parameters training. Practical implications – The proposed CABC algorithm can be easily applied to practice and can steer the robot during walking, which will considerably increase the autonomy of the robot. Originality/value – The proposed CABC approach is interesting for the optimization of a control scheme for quadruped robot. A parameter training methodology, using the presented intelligent algorithm is proposed to increase the learning capability. The experimental results verify the system stabilization, favorable performance and no chattering phenomena can be achieved by using the proposed CABC algorithm. And, the proposed CABC methodology can be easily extended to other applications.

Purpose This paper aim to find optimal cluster head and minimize energy wastage in WSNs. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have low power sensor nodes that quickly lose energy. Energy efficiency is most important factor in WSNs, as they incorporate limited sized batteries that would not be recharged or replaced. The energy possessed by the sensor nodes must be optimally used so as to increase the lifespan. The research is proposing hybrid artificial bee colony and glowworm swarm optimization [Hybrid artificial bee colony and glowworm swarm optimization (HABC-GSO)] algorithm to select the cluster heads. Previous research has considered fitness-based glowworm swarm with Fruitfly (FGF) algorithm, but existing research was limited to maximizing network lifetime and energy efficiency. Design/methodology/approach The proposed HABC-GSO algorithm selects global optima and improves convergence ratio. It also performs optimal cluster head selection by balancing between exploitation and exploration phases. The simulation is performed in MATLAB. Findings The HABC-GSO performance is evaluated with existing algorithms such as particle swarm optimization, GSO, Cuckoo Search, Group Search Ant Lion with Levy Flight, Fruitfly Optimization algorithm and grasshopper optimization algorithm, a new FGF in the terms of alive nodes, normalized energy, cluster head distance and delay. Originality/value This research work is original.

This paper presents an improved artificial bee colony (ABC) technique for solving the dynamic economic emission dispatch (DEED) problem. Ramp rate limits, valve-point loading effects and prohibited operating zones (POZs) have been considered. The proposed technique integrates the grenade explosion method and Cauchy operator in the original ABC algorithm, to avoid random search mechanism. However, the DEED is a multi-objective optimization problem with two conflicting criteria which need to be minimized simultaneously. Thus, it is recommended to provide the best solution for the decision-makers. Shannon’s entropy-based method is used for the first time within the context of the on-line planning of generator outputs to extract the best compromise solution among the Pareto set. The robustness of the proposed technique is verified on six-unit and ten-unit system tests. Results proved that the proposed algorithm gives better optimum solutions in comparison with more than ten metaheuristic techniques.

In recent years, nature-inspired algorithms have been popular due to the fact that many real-world optimization problems are increasingly large, complex and dynamic. By reasons of the size and complexity of the problems, it is necessary to develop an optimization method whose efficiency is measured by finding the near optimal solution within a reasonable amount of time. A black hole is an object that has enough masses in a small enough volume that its gravitational force is strong enough to prevent light or anything else from escaping. Stellar mass Black hole Optimization (SBO) is a novel optimization algorithm inspired from the property of the gravity's relentless pull of black holes which are presented in the Universe. In this paper SBO algorithm is tested on benchmark optimization test functions and compared with the Cuckoo Search, Particle Swarm Optimization and Artificial Bee Colony systems. The experiment results show that the SBO outperforms the existing methods.

Emission Dispatch

The cost and emission minimization in power system operation become important issue in power dispatch due to increase of environmental pollution and fossil fuel price. Therefore, combined economic and emission dispatch (CEED) must be considered in generation scheduling in order to provide balanced solution for optimal cost and emissions level of power generation. In this paper, an Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm with Fuzzy best compromise solution is proposed to determine the optimal cost and emission level by converting the multi-objective (cost and emission) into single objective problem using weighted sum method approach. The best compromise solution among Pareto front solution was determined by fuzzy approach. The effectiveness of ABC algorithm has been validated in terms of the best solution, convergence behaviour and consistency for power system benchmark such as IEEE 30-bus 6-unit system and 10-unit system. The comparison study shows that ABC algorithm capable to obtain a better performance of minimizing the cost and emission level in power generation.
