As one of the most recent popular swarm intelligence techniques, artificial bee colony algorithm is poor at exploitation and has some defects such as slow search speed, poor population diversity, the stagnation in the working process, and being trapped into the local optimal solution. The purpose of this paper is to develop a new modified artificial bee colony algorithm in view of the initial population structure, subpopulation groups, step updating, and population elimination. Further, depending on opposition-based learning theory and the new modified algorithms, an improvedS-type grouping method is proposed and the original way of roulette wheel selection is substituted through sensitivity-pheromone way. Then, an adaptive step with exponential functions is designed for replacing the original random step. Finally, based on the new test function versions CEC13, six benchmark functions with the dimensionsD=20andD=40are chosen and applied in the experiments for analyzing and comparing the iteration speed and accuracy of the new modified algorithms. The experimental results show that the new modified algorithm has faster and more stable searching and can quickly increase poor population diversity and bring out the global optimal solutions.

As a novel swarm intelligence algorithm, artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm inspired by individual division of labor and information exchange during the process of honey collection has advantage of simple structure, less control parameters, and excellent performance characteristics and can be applied to neural network, parameter optimization, and so on. In order to further improve the exploration ability of ABC, an artificial bee colony algorithm with random location updating (RABC) is proposed in this paper, and the modified search equation takes a random location in swarm as a search center, which can expand the search range of new solution. In addition, the chaos is used to initialize the swarm population, and diversity of initial population is improved. Then, the tournament selection strategy is adopted to maintain the population diversity in the evolutionary process. Through the simulation experiment on a suite of unconstrained benchmark functions, the results show that the proposed algorithm not only has stronger exploration ability but also has better effect on convergence speed and optimization precision, and it can keep good robustness and validity with the increase of dimension.

Real and reactive power deficiencies due to generation and overload contingencies in a power system may decline the system frequency and the system voltage. During these contingencies cascaded failures may occur which will lead to complete blackout of certain parts of the power system. Under such situations load shedding is considered as an emergency control action that is necessary to prevent a blackout in the power system by relieving overload in some parts of the system. The aim of this paper is to minimize the amount of load shed during generation and overload contingencies using a new meta-heuristic optimization algorithm known as artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC). The optimal solution for the problem of steady state load shedding is done by taking squares of the difference between the connected and supplied real and reactive power. The supplied active and reactive powers are treated as dependent variables modeled as functions of bus voltages only. The proposed algorithm is tested on IEEE 14, 30, 57, and 118 bus test systems. The applicability of the proposed method is demonstrated by comparison with the other conventional methods reported earlier in terms of solution quality and convergence properties. The comparison shows that the proposed algorithm gives better solutions and can be recommended as one of the optimization algorithms that can be used for optimal load shedding.

AbstractIn this paper, an orthogonal crossover artificial bee colony (OCABC) algorithm based on orthogonal experimental design is presented and applied to infer the marine atmospheric duct using the refractivity from clutter technique, and the radar sea clutter power is simulated by the commonly used parabolic equation method. In order to test the accuracy of the OCABC algorithm, the measured data and the simulated clutter power with different noise levels are, respectively, utilized to estimate the evaporation duct and surface duct. The estimation results obtained by the proposed algorithm are also compared with those of the comprehensive learning particle swarm optimizer and the artificial bee colony algorithm combined with opposition-based learning and global best search equation. The comparison results demonstrate that the performance of proposed algorithm is better than those of the compared algorithms for the marine atmospheric duct estimation.
