cuckoo search algorithm is one of the most prominent meta-heuristic optimization algorithms which is applied to various applications. The discovery probability is the one and the only tuning parameter of the cuckoo search algorithm. The physical meaning of this parameter contradicts its implementation in the standard algorithm. Therefore, this study concerns the correction to the definition and implementation of the cuckoo search algorithm to resolve this conflict. Moreover, a novel algorithm called double exponential cuckoosearch is proposed, in which the discovery probability became adaptive based on the concept of the double Mersenne numbers. The proposed algorithm is compared to nine other variants to find the best variant that makes the discovery probability adaptive. All the variants are compared and tested on 30 and 50 dimensions of CEC2017 benchmark functions. The results have been statistically proved using the sign test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and Friedman test. Moreover, multiple graphical methods are also used to visualize the median performance such as Violin plots and mean convergence graphs. Simulation results prove the superior performance of the proposed algorithm over all other variants.

Owing to the increased demand for satellite images for various practical applications, the use of proper enhancement methods are inevitable. Visual enhancement of such images mainly focuses on improving the contrast of the scene procured, conserving its naturalness with minimum image artifacts. Last one decade traced an extensive use of metaheuristic approaches for automatic image enhancement processes. In this paper, a robust and novel adaptive cuckoosearch based Enhancement algorithm is proposed for the enhancement of various satellite images. The proposed algorithm includes a chaotic initialization phase, an adaptive Levy flight strategy and a mutative randomization phase. Performance evaluation is done by quantitative and qualitative results comparison of the proposed algorithm with other state-of-the-art metaheuristic algorithms. Box-and-whisker plots are also included for evaluating the stability and convergence capability of all the algorithms tested. Test results substantiate the efficiency and robustness of the proposed algorithm in enhancing a wide range of satellite images.

The cuckoosearch (CS) algorithm combined with Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) algorithm (CS-BFGS) is proposed to identify time-dependent boundary conditions for 2-D transient heat conduction problems in functionally gradient materials. Firstly the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) is used to solve the direct problem. Then taking the unknown boundary conditions as a polynomial function of coordinates with time-dependent coefficients, the CS-BFGS is applied to obtain the unknown coefficients of the polynomial. As a result, the transient boundary conditions are evaluated. The convergence speed of the CS-BFGS algorithm is faster than the CS algorithm. What's more, the effect of the polynomial degree is discussed. As the polynomial degree increases, the inverse results are more accurate but the iterative number and computation time also increase. Finally, the influences of the position and number of measurement points, and random errors on the inverse results are investigated. With the measurement points closer to the boundary, with the increase of measurement point number and with the decrease of measurement errors, the results are more accurate.

Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) turned into an appealing choice for supplying loads in remote areas. The application of smart grid principals in HRES provides a communication between the load and generation from the HRES. Using smart grid in the HRES will optimally utilize the generating resources to reschedule the loads depending on its importance. This paper presents a new proposed design and optimization simulation program for techno-economic sizing of grid-independent hybrid PV/wind/diesel/battery energy system using cuckoosearch (CS) optimization algorithm. Using of CS will help to get the global minimum cost condition and prevent the simulation to be stuck around local minimum. A new proposed simulation program (NPSP) is acquainted using CS to determine the optimum size of each component of the HRES for the lowest cost of generated energy and the lowest value of dummy energy, at highest reliability. A detailed economic methodology to obtain the price of the generated energy has been introduced. Results showed that using CS reduced the time required to obtain the optimal size with higher accuracy than other techniques used iterative techniques, Genetic algorithm (GA), and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Numerous significant outcomes can be extracted from the proposed program that could help scientists and decision makers.

The cuckoosearch (CS) algorithm is a simple and effective global optimization algorithm. It has been successfully applied to solve a wide range of real- world optimization problem. In this paper, a modified CS algorithm is applied to determine the feasible optimal solution of the economic load dispatch problem considering various generator constraints. In order to solve the problem of being trapped into the local optima, a new mutation scheme, inspired by the DE/current-to-gr_best/1, is incorporated in standard CS to enrich the searching behavior and solution quality and to avoid being trapped into local optimum. In order to verify the performance of our approach, the proposed approach is tested with two power system cases consisting of 3, 6, 15, and 40 thermal units with generator constraints. State-of-the-art optimization techniques are compared with simulation results obtaining proposed method to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method and to show that the improved CS could be used as a reliable tool for solving economic load dispatch problems with generator constraints.

A method for structural damage identification based on cuckoo search algorithm is presented. The nonlinear objective function for the damage identification problem is established by utilizing modal assurance criteria and structural natural frequencies. Then, the cuckoo search algorithm is adopted to detect local damages by solving the objective function. Two numerical examples are studied to investigate the efficiency and correctness of the proposed method. Meanwhile, a laboratory work is conducted for further verification. The simulation and experiment results show that the present method can produce more accurate damage identification results even under measurement noise, comparing with genetic algorithm.

The distributed generating system may employ hybrid power system consists of diesel and wind power generating units based on synchronous and induction generator (IG), respectively, to supply small isolated load. Frequency and voltage controls are major problems for such system as smaller synchronous generator (SG) offers lesser inertia and IG draws reactive power for its operation. In this paper, the voltage control loop governed by automatic voltage regulator of SG has been integrated with frequency control loop to yield optimized transient responses for frequency and voltage deviations. The linearized model of hybrid system with coordinated control of voltage and frequency has been developed. The dynamic responses of frequency and voltage deviations are compared for different active and reactive load disturbances. The gains of controller of SG and Static Var Compensator (SVC) at the terminal of IG have been optimized with cuckoo search algorithm to minimize frequency and terminal voltage deviations.

At this stage, in order to ensure the effective work of the gravitational reference sensor, it's necessary to ensure the residual velocity of the test mass (mass = 1.9 kg) after being released by the grabbing positioning and release mechanism is less than 5 mu m/s, so that it can be normally captured by the electrode housing. Therefore, based on mathematical model of the release mechanism electro-mechanical dynamics, this paper conducts related research on the relationship between the residual speed of the test mass and the system parameters of the grabbing positioning and release mechanism. In order to solve the problem of difficulty in identifying model parameters, this paper uses the cuckoo search algorithm to identify model parameters, and improves the search efficiency and success rate by improving the step-length control factor and search strategy. Simulation experiments show that under the same number of iterations, the improved algorithm has achieved an effective improvement in the identification success rate and convergence accuracy of the original algorithm. Through the identification results, the residual speed of the test mass can be derived, verify whether the designed system meets the requirements, and establish an evaluation and guidance system for the system design.

Lifetime maximization is one of the serious research issues for energy constrained wireless sensor networks. There are several ways to achieve enhanced network lifespan. This paper presents a routing algorithm namely Energy Conserving Trustworthy Multipath Routing algorithm (ECTMRA) based on cuckoo search algorithm, which serves its purpose by overthrowing issues such as routing overhead, memory overhead, along with the increased energy conservation is presented. This work clubs three different techniques such as clustering based on cuckoo search algorithm, trust and multipath routing techniques into a single approach. This maximizes the lifespan of the network with the least energy consumption. Besides this, ECTMRA shows improved packet delivery ratio, network lifespan and reduced end-to-end delay, routing overhead and energy consumption. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated against existing approaches and the experimental results outperform the existing techniques.

Modeling of nonlinear industrial systems embraces two key stages: selection of a model structure with a compact parameter list, and selection of an algorithm to estimate the parameter list values. Thus, there is a need to develop a sufficiently adequate model to characterize the behavior of industrial systems to represent experimental data sets. The data collected for many industrial systems may be subject to the existence of high non-linearity and multiple constraints. Meanwhile, creating a thoroughgoing model for an industrial process is essential for model-based control systems. In this work, we explore the use of a proposed Enhanced version of the cuckoosearch (ECS) algorithm to address a parameter estimation problem for both linear and nonlinear model structures of a real winding process. The performance of the developed models was compared with other mainstream meta-heuristics when they were targeted to model the same process. Moreover, these models were compared with other models developed based on some conventional modeling methods. Several evaluation tests were performed to judge the efficiency of the developed models based on ECS, which showed superior performance in both training and testing cases over that achieved by other modeling methods.
