In this study, the performance of the algorithms of whale, Differential evolutionary, crow search, and Gray Wolf optimization were evaluated to operate the Golestan Dam reservoir with the objective function of meeting downstream water needs. Also, after defining the objective function and its constraints, the convergence degree of the algorithms was compared with each other and with the absolut...

Increasing nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms are applied to solving the real-world optimization problems, as they have some advantages over the classical methods of numerical optimization. This paper has proposed a new nature-inspired metaheuristic called Whale Swarm Algorithm for function optimization, which is inspired by the whales’ behavior of communicating with each other via ultras...

Nowadays, there is a great deal of attention for regulations of carbon emissions to enforce the decision-makers of production and distribution networks to redesign their systems satisfactorily. The literature has seen a rapid interest in developing novel metaheuristics to solve this problem as a complicated optimization problem. Such difficulties motivate us to address a production-distribution...

The end-point control technology of basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steelmaking is a very important production process in the later stage smelting, and it has become research hotspot smelting industry. In this paper, carbon content temperature prediction models were established based on twin support vector regression (TSVR). order to ensure stability model, input variables model determined by using ...

Many researches have focused on the optimal design of tuned mass damper (TMD) system without the effect of soil–structure interaction (SSI), so that ignoring the effect of SSI may lead to an undesirable and unrealistic design of TMD. Furthermore, many optimization criteria have been proposed for the optinal design of the TMD system. Hence, the main aim of this study is to compare different opti...

This paper proposes a hybrid whale optimization algorithm (WOA) that is derived from the genetic and thermal exchange optimization-based (GWOA-TEO) to enhance global capability. First, high-quality initial population generated improve performance of GWOA-TEO. Then, (TEO) applied exploitation performance. Next, memory considered can store historical best-so-far solutions, achieving higher withou...

In this research, a whale-optimized fuzzy PID controller was developed to manage automatic generation control in multiple-area electrical energy systems with an availability-based tariff (ABT) pricing scheme. The objective of work is minimize the power production costs, area errors (ACEs), and marginal costs system real-time load frequency variation conditions. power, deviation tie line, interc...
