This article mitigates the challenges of previously reported literature by reducing the operating cost and improving the performance of network. A genetic algorithm-based tabu search methodology is proposed to solve the link capacity and traffic allocation (CFA) problem in a computer communication network. An efficient modern super-heuristic search method is used to influence the fixed cost, delay cost, and variable cost of a link on the total operating cost in the computer communication network are discussed. The article analyses a large number of computer simulation results to verify the effectiveness of the tabu searchalgorithm for CFA problems and also improves the quality of solutions significantly compared with traditional Lagrange relaxation and subgradient optimization algorithms. The experimental results show that with the increase of the weighted coefficient of variable cost, the proportion of variable cost in the total cost increases from 10 to 35%. The growth is relatively slow, and the fixed cost is still the main component. In addition, due to the increase in the variable cost, the tabu searchalgorithm will also choose the link with large luxury to reduce the variable cost, which makes the fixed cost slightly increase, while the network delay cost and average delay slightly decrease. The proposed method, when compared with the genetic algorithm, has more advantages for large-scale or heavy-load networks.

harmonysearch (HS) algorithm is a good meta-heuristic intelligent optimization method and it does depend on imitating the music improvisation process to generate a perfect state of harmony. However, intelligent optimization methods is easily trapped into local optimal, HS is no exception. In order to improve the performance of HS, a new variant of harmony search algorithm is proposed in this paper. The variant introduce a new crossover operation into HS, and design a strategy to adjust parameter pitch adjusting rate (PAR) and bandwidth (BW). Several standard benchmarks carried out to be tested. The numerical results demonstrated that the superiority of the proposed method to the HS and recently developed variants (IHS, and GHS).

Remote sensing plays a major role in crop classification, land use classification, and land cover classification such that the information for the classification is assured with the help of the satellite images. This paper concentrates on the land use classification and proposes an optimization algorithm, called Firefly harmonysearch (FHS) for training the Deep Belief Neural Network (DBN). The FHS algorithm is the integration of the Firefly algorithm and harmony search algorithm (HSA), which tunes the weights of DBN to perform the multi-class classification. For the effective classification, the multispectral image is subjected to the sparse Fuzzy C-Means to form segments such that the feature extraction is effective, free from dimensionality issues and computational complexities. The features extracted from the segments of the multi-spectral images include vegetation indices and statistical features. Then, these features are fed to the DBN, which is tuned using the FHS algorithm for performing the land use classification. Experimentation using four datasets proves the effectiveness of the proposed multi-class classification approach. The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the method are found to be 0.9317, 0.9568, and 0.0379, respectively, that is effective over the existing land use classification methods.

In recent years, robots have been widely used in assembly systems called robotic assembly lines, where a set of tasks have to be assigned to stations, and each station needs to select one of the different robots to process the assigned tasks. Our focus is on U-shaped layouts because they are widely employed in many industries due to their efficiency and flexibility compared to straight assembly lines. These lines offer more choices to group operations. A worker can be assigned to multiple stations at the entrance and the exit sides. Moreover, it has been shown experimentally that labor productivity can increase significantly in U-shaped lines. However, in many realistic situations, robots may be unavailable during the scheduling horizon for different reasons, such as breakdowns. This research deals with line balancing under uncertainty. It presents robust optimization models for balancing, sequencing, and robot assignment of U-shaped assembly lines with considering sequencing-dependent setup times, failure robots, and preventive maintenance. The nature of this problem is NP-hard with two objective functions;a multi-objective harmonysearch is suggested to solve it. The parameters of the proposed algorithm were analyzed using the Taguchi method, and their results were compared with the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II).

However, intelligent optimization methods is easily trapped into local optimal, HS is no exception. In order to modify the optimization performance of HS, a new variant of harmony search algorithm is proposed in this paper. The variant integrate the position updating of the particle swarm optimization algorithm with pitch adjustment operation, and dynamically adjust the key parameter pitch adjusting rate (PAR) and bandwidth (BW). Several standard benchmarks are to be tested. The numerical results demonstrated the superiority of the proposed method to the HS and recently developed variants (HIS, and GHS).

In order to using harmony search algorithm (HSA) to solve dynamic optimization problems, this paper proposed a binary harmony search algorithm (BHSA) based on hybrid double-coding method. In this paper we use the BHSA, DS_BPSO and PDGA to solve time-varying knapsack problem. The results show that dynamic search capability and ability of tracing optimal solution of BHAS are nearly as same as DS_BPSO, but the robustness and the universality are more superior.

Synchronous reference frame theory (SRFT) based on optimized Proportional Integrator (PI) controller in shunt active power filter (SAPF) is proposed to mitigate current harmonics in the presence of non-liner load system. Normally, non-linear loads such as furnaces, adjustable drives (ASDs), modern power electronics devices are responsible for producing undesirable harmonics in electrical parameters during their operation. To mitigate such unwanted harmonics in non-linear load system, (PI) controllers are effectively employed in different types of advanced techniques to diminish the presence of harmonic mechanisms in the system. In the proposed work, the two optimization algorithms such as genetic algorithm (GA) and harmonysearch (HS) have been effectively used for tuning (PI) controller based (SAPF). Among these metaheuristic techniques, (HS) algorithm shows the best potential in the reduction of total current harmonic distortion.

Hybrid systems composed of solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery storage units are reliable and clean technologies for utilization in off-grid cases. Optimal sizing of these systems results in more cost-effective units, which is the main subject of various researches. The current work focuses on the assessment of an optimization approach for finding the optimum size of PV/battery hybrid unit in order to provide the required electricity of the case study and reach the minimum Total Life Cycle Cost (TLCC). In this regard, the components of the designed systems are modelled;afterwards, the objective function is established on the basis of TLCC. In the optimization procedure, a constraint is considered for the highest possible loss of power in order to have a system with acceptable reliability. In addition, Improved harmonysearch (IHS) algorithm is applied to determine the variables with optimal quantities for satisfying the required electricity in the most cost-effective condition. The calculated results are compared with harmonysearch and simulated annealing algorithms to evaluate the reliability of the applied method. The outcomes show that employing IHS leads to more promising results and it has higher robustness compared with the HS and simulated annealing algorithms. Moreover, the number of units in the hybrid system reduces by increment in the loss of power supply probability. (C) 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

In this paper, a hybrid algorithm is developed by incorporating the egg-laying and immigration mechanisms of cuckoo optimization algorithm (COA) into harmonysearch (HS) algorithm (HSCOA), to design a secondary controller for two practical models of load frequency control (LFC) problem. Initially, a two-area non-reheat thermal power system is considered and the gains of PID and fuzzy PI/PID controllers are adjusted by the proposed tuning method. The superiority of HSCOA in regulating controller gains is demonstrated by evaluation and comparison of the obtained transient outcomes over some other published approaches in literature. To prove the satisfaction of the robustness in designed LFC by means of the proposed method, the performance of HSCOA based fuzzy PID controller is extensively verified under varying loading condition and some critical parameters related to the considered power plant. To add further practical challenge, the governor dead band (GDB) is included in the concerned system modeling to study the advantages of the HSCOA tuned fuzzy PID controller in handling the properties of nonlinearity in the system model. Time domain simulation of transient responses indicates that the designed controller operates satisfactorily to deal with the GDB nonlinearity and outperform other published techniques. Furthermore, to demonstrate the effective feasibility of the proposed method, the study is extended to a two-area multi-source power system with/without consideration of HVDC link. It is observed that HSCOA optimized fuzzy PID controller gives superior quality outcomes in comparison to other reported strategies. Finally, the robustness of the controllers gains designed for the concerned power system is investigated under various scenarios of change in size, location and pattern of step load perturbation.
