Identifying stress and its level has always been a challenging area for researchers. A lot of work is going on around the world on the same. An attempt has been made by the authors in this paper as they present a methodology for detecting stress in EEG signals. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is commonly used to acquire brain signal activity. Though there exist other techniques to extract the same like Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET) we have used EEG as it is economical. We have used an open-source dataset for EEG data. Various images are used as the target stressor for collecting EEG signals. After feature selection and extraction, a support vector machine (SVM) with a whale optimization algorithm (WOA) in its kernel function for classification is used. WOA is a bio-inspired meta-heuristic algorithm, based on the hunting behavior of humpback whales. Using this method, we had obtained 91% accuracy for detecting the stress. The paper also compared the previous work done in detecting stress with the work proposed in this paper.

In this paper, the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is applied to the inverse scattering of an imperfect conductor with corners. The WOA is a new metaheuristic optimization algorithm. It mimics the hunting behavior of humpback whales. The inspiration results from the fact that a whale recognizes the location of a prey (i.e., optimal solution) by swimming around the prey within a shrinking circle and along a spiral-shaped path simultaneously. Initially, the inverse scattering is first transformed into a nonlinear optimization problem. The transformation is based on the moment method solution for scattering integral equations. To treat a target with corners and implement the WOA inverse scattering, the cubic spline interpolation is utilized for modelling the target shape function. Numerical simulation shows that the inverse scattering by WOA not only is accurate but also converges fast.

Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) is a new kind of swarm-based optimization algorithm that mimics the foraging behavior of humpback whales. WOA models the particular hunting behavior with three stages: encircling prey, bubble-net attacking, and search for prey. In this work, we proposed a new linear decreasing inertia weight with a random exploration ability (LDIWR) strategy. It also compared with the other three inertia weight WOA (IWWOA) methods: constant inertia weight (CIW), linear decreasing inertia weight (LDIW), and linear increasing inertia weight (LIIW) by adding fixed or linear inertia weights to the position vector of the reference whale. The four IWWOAs are tested with 23 mathematical and theoretical optimization benchmark functions. Experimental results show that most of IWWOAs outperform the original WOA in terms of solution accuracy and convergence rate when solving global optimization problems. Accordingly, the LDIWR strategy produces a better balance between exploration and exploitation capabilities for multimodal functions.

The dataset distribution of actual logging is asymmetric, as most logging data are unlabeled. With the traditional classification model, it is hard to predict the oil and gas reservoir accurately. Therefore, a novel approach to the oil layer recognition model using the improved whale swarm algorithm (WOA) and semi-supervised support vector machine (S3VM) is proposed in this paper. At first, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the Whale Optimization Algorithm applied in the parameter-optimization of the S3VM model, such as falling into a local optimization and low convergence precision, an improved WOA was proposed according to the adaptive cloud strategy and the catfish effect. Then, the improved WOA was used to optimize the kernel parameters of S3VM for oil layer recognition. In this paper, the improved WOA is used to test 15 benchmark functions of CEC2005 compared with five other algorithms. The IWOA–S3VM model is used to classify the five kinds of UCI datasets compared with the other two algorithms. Finally, the IWOA–S3VM model is used for oil layer recognition. The result shows that (1) the improved WOA has better convergence speed and optimization ability than the other five algorithms, and (2) the IWOA–S3VM model has better recognition precision when the dataset contains a labeled and unlabeled dataset in oil layer recognition.

In power systems protection, the optimal coordination of directional overcurrent relays (DOCRs) is of paramount importance. The coordination of DOCRs in a multi-loop power system is formulated as an optimization problem. The main objective of this paper is to develop the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) for the optimal coordination of DOCRs and minimize the sum of the operating times of all primary relays. The WOA is inspired by the bubble-net hunting strategy of humpback whales which leads toward global minima. The proposed algorithm has been applied to six IEEE test systems including the IEEE three-bus, eight-bus, nine-bus, 14-bus, 15-bus, and 30-bus test systems. Furthermore, the results obtained using the proposed WOA are compared with those obtained by other up-to-date algorithms. The obtained results show the effectiveness of the proposed WOA to minimize the relay operating time for the optimal coordination of DOCRs.

Optimal Reconfiguration

The prime motto of the electrical power system is to provide the good and high quality power to the consumers. As the life in the society is expanding hugely, hence the need of the electrical power is additionally expanding suggestively. In this manner expanding the power generation as well as beating the significant issues in the electrical distribution system has turned into a test. The strange conditions can't be normal however when happened; the recuperation ought to be made as quickly as time permits. In this work, a modern artificial intelligence based algorithm is implemented for the reconfiguration of an electrical radial distribution network. This algorithm helps to bring down the active power loss and intensify the voltage profile of the network. This paper has proposed a nature-based guided metaheuristic Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). WOA is motivated by the smart foraging approach of the humpback whales. To ratify the efficiency of the proposed approach, WOA is successfully simulated on IEEE standard 69 bus and 119 bus system.
