In the present paper, the apparatus of generalized nets is used to describe the metaheuristic technique bat algorithm. Generalized nets are considered an effective and appropriate tool for description of the logics of different optimization techniques. As a result, the developed generalized net model executes the bat algorithm procedures, conducting basic steps and performing optimal search. The paper elaborates on the already proposed Universal generalized net model for description of the population-based metaheuristic algorithms, which was used so far to model the Cuckoo search, Firefly algorithm and Artificial bee colony optimization, and is used here for modelling of bat algorithm. It is shown that the bat algorithm can be described in terms of Universal generalized net model by only varying the characteristic functions of the tokens. Thus, verification of the Universal generalized net model is performed.

bat algorithm (BA) is a kind of heuristic algorithm imitating the echolocation behavior of bats. In consideration of BA shortcomings such as that it could easily fall into traps like local optimum, low accuracy and premature convergence, a new algorithm is proposed by combining steepest descent (SD) algorithm and bat algorithm based on their respective advantages and disadvantages so as to achieve the goal of solving systems of non-linear equations effectively. The results of simulation experiments show that this proposed algorithm (SD-BA) can help improve the accuracy of problem solving and make the optimization results more accurate, and therefore, it is a very efficient and reliable algorithm for solving systems of non-linear equations.

Partial shading condition is one of the main problem in the implementation of PV system as electricity generation. Thus, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique which able to track the global maximum power point (GMPP) is very important. This paper introduces a MPPT algorithm which is able to track the GMPP by using the bat optimization algorithm. Generally, the disadvantages of using optimization algorithm as MPPT method is the long tracking time required. The proposed bat algorithm has the capability to converge rapidly towards the GMPP along the searching process by using the variable pulse rate and loudness parameters. The simulation and experimental results of the proposed algorithm shows that the GMPP is able to be tracked within 1.5 seconds accurately for different partial shading condition.

Bio-inspired algorithms are now becoming powerful methods for solving many real-world optimization problems. In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach involving Grey Wolf optimizer (GWO) and bat swarm optimizer (BA) for global function optimization problems. GWO is well known for its balanced exploration/exploitation behavior, while BA is known to be more exploitative due to its low exploration ability in some conditions. We use GWO exploration skills to explore the search space effectively and BA local search capabilities to refine the solution. In our hybrid algorithm, namely (GWOBA), GWO is used to explore the problem space alone and pass the best two solutions to BA to guide its local search, then BA digs deeper and find the best solution. The new proposed approach has been tested using 30 standard benchmark functions from CEC2017 benchmark suite. The performance of the hybrid algorithm has been compared to the original GWO, BA and the Whale optimization algorithm (WOA). We use a set of performance indicators to evaluate the efficiency of the method. Results over various dimensions show the superiority of the proposed algorithm.

Home energy management systems are widely used to cope up with the increasing demand for energy. They help to reduce carbon pollutants generated by excessive burning of fuel and natural resources required for energy generation. They also save the budget needed for installing new power plants. Price based automatic demand response (DR) techniques incorporated in these systems shift appliances from high price hours to low price hours to reduce electricity bills and peak to average ratio (PAR). In this paper, electricity load of home is categorized into three types: base load, shift-able interruptible load and shiftable non-interruptible load. In literature many metaheuristic optimization techniques have been implemented for scheduling of appliances. In this work for the optimization of energy usage genetic algorithm (GA) and bat algorithm (BA) are implemented with time of use (TOU) pricing scheme to schedule appliances to reduce electricity bills, the peak to average ratio and appliance delay time. A new technique bat genetic algorithm (BGA) has been proposed. It is hybrid of GA and BA. It outperforms GA and BA in terms of cost reduction and peak to average ratio for single home scenario as well as multiple home scenario. Operation time internals (OTIs) 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 1 hour have been considered to check their effect on cost reduction, PAR and user comfort (UC).

To overcome the defects of easily falling into local optimum and being sensitive to initial values brought by kernelized fuzzy means clustering algorithm (KFCM), a kernelized fuzzy means clustering algorithm based on bat algorithm (BA-KFCM) is proposed in this paper. In this paper, IRIS dataset, Glass dataset and Wine dataset in the classical datasets are used to simulate the experiment respectively, and the results of the algorithm are compared with those of the particle swarm optimization algorithm and the firefly algorithm so as to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to other algorithms in terms of effects and has a better quality of clustering.

Power plant is one of the substantial industry in a country since it supports various needs of people. Optimum cost for running this industry is a necessity so that power generated can be produce according to power demand with appropriate cost. Economic dispatch is an optimization approach in power system plant with objective function is to minimize cost by finding appropriate arrangement of generator output according electric requirement and capacity of the system. Previous researches have been proposed techniques to solve this problem, however a stable convergence and good computational efficiency is still required. Therefore, this paper proposes bat algorithm to minimize total generator cost from thermal power plant. bat algorithm is one of nature inspired optimization problem which has advantage in stable convergence. The experiment results show that bat algorithm is able to save approximately 1.23% compare to the actual cost and 0.12% to firefly algorithm.

In the process of deep geological resources exploration, there are often some complex stratigraphic situations. A threedimension drilling trajectory is designed by using the geological environment data. The trajectory should be sure that the target position is reachable. And it can avoid the area prone to be in an accident. In order to solve this problem, this paper discusses a three-dimensional wellbore trajectory design optimization model suitable for shale gas horizontal mining. Considering the wellbore stability and dogleg severity as constraints, the minimum drilling length is taken as the objective function. Depending on the Mohr-Coulomb criterion, the range of azimuth angle and inclination angle of safety trajectory can be determined. It can be seen as a constraint on the wellbore derrick segment. As for the optimization algorithm, bat algorithm(BA) optimizer combined with a penalty function method is applied to this optimization model. Finally, the case study shows that the BA performs well in the wellbore optimization design. It obtains the trade-off result between the safe and efficient drilling demands. And, it provides a basic model idea for the real-time trajectory optimization while drilling.

Flood prediction and control are among the major tools for decision makers and water resources planners to avoid flood disasters. The Muskingum model is one of the most widely used methods for flood routing prediction. The Muskingum model contains four parameters that must be determined for accurate flood routing. In this context, an optimization process that self-searches for the optimal values of these four parameters might improve the traditional Muskingum model. In this study, a hybrid of the bat algorithm (BA) and the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, i.e., the hybrid bat-swarm algorithm (HBSA), was developed for the optimal determination of these four parameters. Data for the three different case studies from the USA and the UK were utilized to examine the suitability of the proposed HBSA for flood routing. Comparative analyses based on the sum of squared deviations (SSD), sum of absolute deviations (SAD), error of peak discharge, and error of time to peak showed that the proposed HBSA based on the Muskingum model achieved excellent flood routing accuracy compared to that of other methods while requiring less computational time.

Recommender Systems have proven to be of great aid in dealing with the issue of Information Overload by improving the user experience through quality recommendations. In recent times, heuristic techniques have been employed by researchers in recommender systems along with traditional methods of collaborative and content based filtering. On the same account, in this work a bat algorithm based heuristic technique has been used to compute the weights of items (features) so as to find better neighbourhood for the active user. We argue and also prove using the results that this technique of giving weights to items using heuristic methods helps in achieving better personalized recommendations. The performance of this system was also compared to that of Artificial Bee Colony based system (ABC). The results indicated that BA performed 6.9% better than ABC in terms of Mean Absolute Error and F1 Score using our technique.
