Recently, a popular metaheuristic algorithm called Harmony Search, conceptualized using the musical process of searching for a perfect state of harmony is undergoing faster developments. In this paper, a new variant of harmony search called Dynamic Hybrid Harmony Search algorithm (DHHS) is proposed. The novelty introduced in this algorithm is the division of the whole population into few sets o...

This paper presents a kernel fuzzy clustering with a novel differential harmony search algorithm to coordinate with the diversion scheduling scheme classification. First, we employed a self-adaptive solution generation strategy and differential evolution-based population update strategy to improve the classical harmony search. Second, we applied the differential harmony search algorithm to the ...

Of course, from childhood to forever, we are always thought to love reading. It is not only reading the lesson book but also reading everything good is the choice of getting new inspirations. Religion, sciences, politics, social, literature, and fictions will enrich you for not only one aspect. Having more aspects to know and understand will lead you become someone more precious. Yea, becoming ...

An inerter system can amplify the deformation of its internal energy dissipation device, thereby improving efficiency and shock absorption. This is so-called damping enhancement mechanism, one key mechanisms system. Although theoretical framework for systems has been established, implementation this principle design an requires solving a complicated constrained optimization problem, which not e...

Harmony search (HS) was introduced in 2001 as a heuristic population-based optimisation algorithm. Since then HS has become a popular alternative to other heuristic algorithms like simulated annealing and particle swarm optimisation. However, some flaws, like the need for parameter tuning, were identified and have been a topic of study for much research over the last 10 years. Many variants of ...

Main contribution of this work is improving transient stability by installing Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) in power systems. For do this, Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) has been selected. Also a novel structure has been suggested to improve classic Harmony Search algorithm and suggested improved Harmony Search (iHS) algorithm. This algorithm has been used to obtain UPFC paramet...

The Harmony Search (HS) method is an emerging meta-heuristic optimization algorithm. In this paper, we propose two modified HS methods to deal with the unimodal and multi-modal optimization problems. The first modified HS method is based on the fusion of the HS and Differential Evolution (DE) technique, namely, HS-DE. The DE is employed here to optimize the members of the HS memory. The second ...
