The combination of least square support vector machine (LS-SVM) and cuckoosearch (CS) algorithm was first proposed to identify the dynamic models of unmanned surface vehicle (USV). The 3-DOF of Abkowitz model was selected to describe the USV's dynamics. The zigzag test was carried out in the Qinghuai river. The input data and output data obtained by the experiment were selected and filtered to identify the USV's dynamics. The back propagation neural network (BPNN) is a popular method to identify the ship dynamics and was adopted, in this paper, to compare the LSSVM. In addition, the frequently optimization algorithm including particle swarm optimization (PSO) and cross validation (CV) were also selected to enhance the LSSVM which compare to the CS-LSSVM. The results showed that the CS-LSSVM had a better predictive capability than the BPNN, PSO-LSSVM and CV-LSSVM in predicting the surge velocity and sway velocity and the values were close to the experimental data. The related mean square errors of CS-LSSVM was the lowest in these methods and has the fastest convergence speed. It can be tested that CS-LSSVM would be a potential method to online parameter identification for USV in the future.

In this paper, a novel method is presented to obtain stable reduced-order model of higher order linear time invariant continuous systems using optimization technique. In order to perform optimization, a new meta-heuristic searchalgorithm, called cuckoosearch (CS) is applied which is inspired by the natural behaviour of cuckoo species including the Levy flight behaviour of some birds and fruit flies. The effectiveness of the proposed method is supported by some numerical examples of single input single output (SISO) systems and the results are compared with other well-known methods available in the literature in terms of most popular performance indices like integral square error, integral absolute error, and integral time absolute error. The method is extended for multi input multi output (MIMO) systems also.

In this study, a method for the low-carbon active distribution system (ADS) planning is proposed. It takes into account the impacts of both network capacity and demand correlation to the renewable energy accommodation, and incorporates demand response (DR) as an available resource in the ADS planning. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear programming model, whereby the optimal allocation of renewable energy sources and the design of DR contract (i.e. payment incentives and default penalties) are determined simultaneously, in order to achieve the minimization of total cost and CO2 emissions subjected to the system constraints. The uncertainties that involved are also considered by using the scenario synthesis method with the improved Taguchi's orthogonal array testing for reducing information redundancy. A novel cuckoosearch (CS) is applied for the planning optimization. The case study results confirm the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

The stability of modern interconnected thermal power systems is greatly affected by the presence of low-frequency inertial oscillations in the system, due to various forms of disturbances experienced. This paper provides an efficient damping solution to these oscillations based on nature-inspired modified cuckoo search algorithm-based controller design. The proposed controller design is formulated as a parameter optimization problem based on damping ratio and time-domain error deviations. The effectiveness of the proposed damping controller design is illustrated by performing the nonlinear time domain simulations of the test multimachine power systems under various operating conditions and disturbances. Moreover, an exhaustive comparative stability analysis is performed based on the damping performance of the modified cuckoosearch controller design over the genetic algorithm-based and cuckoo search algorithm-based controller designs.

A new metaheuristic method, the cuckoosearch (CS) algorithm, based on the life of a bird family is proposed in this paper for optimal design of static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) in a multimachine environment. PV curves are illustrated to determine the best location of STATCOM. The STATCOM parameter tuning problem is converted to an optimization problem which is solved by CS algorithm. The performance of the proposed CS based STATCOM (CSSTATCOM) is compared with Genetic algorithm (GA) based STATCOM (GASTATCOM) and open loop STATCOM under various operating conditions and disturbances. The superiority of the proposed technique in damping oscillations and enhancing voltage profiles is confirmed through eigenvalues and time domain simulation results over the GA and open loop one.

A long positioning range and a high first natural frequency are the two most important quality responses of a compliant focus positioning platform (CFPP). This paper aims to develop a hybrid Taguchi-cuckoosearch (HTCS) algorithm to optimize overall the quality responses, simultaneously. The CFPP is designed via using flexure hinges. The length, width, and thickness of flexure hinges are considered as design variables. The Taguchi's L16 orthogonal array is used to establish the experimental layout and the S/N ratios of each response are computed. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) is computed to investigate the effect of design parameters on the quality responses. Results of ANOVA are then utilized to limit the search space of design parameters that serves as initial population for the cuckoosearch meta-heurist algorithm. The results showed that the HTCS algorithm is more effective than DE, GA, PSO, AEDE, and PSOGSA. The CFPP enables a long positioning range of 188.36 pin and a high frequency response of 284.06 Hz. The proposed HTCS approach can effectively optimize the multiple objectives for the CFPP and would be useful technique for related optimization problems. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In this paper, a new predictive control scheme formulated by using the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy modeling method and a new constrained cuckoo search algorithm. The cuckoo search algorithm is used to determine the predictive controls by minimizing a constrained criterion. The Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy modelling approach is applied to forecast the states of the process. At the optimization stage, the proposed cuckoosearch provides the control action taking into account constraints. The performances of the developed method are tested during its application in the three-tank process. Therefore, the experimental results demonstrate that the combination of the philosophy of the fuzzy model and cuckoosearch is very good in the controlling of nonlinear processes. In addition, the closed-loop performance of the developed method is compared to approach based with the particle swarm optimisation algorithm and those obtained with fuzzy model predictive controller.

Unsharp masking techniques are a prominent approach in contrast enhancement. Generalized masking formulation has static scale value selection, which limits the gain of contrast. In this paper, we propose an Optimum Wavelet Based Masking (OWBM) using Enhanced cuckoo search algorithm (ECSA) for the contrast improvement of medical images. The ECSA can automatically adjust the ratio of nest rebuilding, using genetic operators such as adaptive crossover and mutation. First, the proposed contrast enhancement approach is validated quantitatively using Brain Web and MIAS database images. Later, the conventional nest rebuilding of cuckoosearch optimization is modified using Adaptive Rebuilding of Worst Nests (ARWN). Experimental results are analyzed using various performance matrices, and our OWBM shows improved results as compared with other reported literature. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Many applications of wireless sensor networks (WSN) require information about the geographical location of each sensor node. Devices that form WSN are expected to be remotely deployed in large numbers in a sensing field to perform sensing and acting task. The goal of localization is to assign geographical coordinates to each device with unknown position in the deployment area. Recently, the popular strategy is to apply optimization algorithms to solve the localization problem. In this paper, the cuckoo search algorithm is implemented to estimate the sensor's position. The proposed approach has been compared in terms of localization error with particle swarm optimization (PSO) and various variants of biogeography based optimization (BBO). The results show that our method outperforms the PSO and BBO variants which are recently used in the literature.

This paper presents the automatic generation control (AGC) of an unequal three area thermal system with single reheat turbine and generation rate constraints of 3%/min in each area. A two degree of freedom (2DOF) controller called 2DOF - integral plus double derivative (2DOF - IDD) is proposed for the first time in AGC as secondary controller. Secondary controller gains and other parameters are simultaneously optimized using a more recent and powerful evolutionary computational technique called cuckoo search algorithm (CS). The system dynamic responses obtained with 2DOF - IDD controller are compared with that obtained with other 2DOF controllers such as 2DOF - Proportional-Integral (2DOF - PI), 2DOF Proportional - Integral-Derivative (2DOF - PID). Investigations reveals that 2DOF - PI, and 2DOF - PID provide more or less same response where as 2DOF - IDD controller provides much better response than the others. Sensitivity analysis reveals that the CS optimized 2DOF - IDD controller parameters obtained at nominal condition of loading and nominal size of step load perturbation (SLP) are robust and need not be reset with wide changes in system loading and (SLP).
