Since the development of Smart Grid (SG), Home Energy Management (HEM) systems are emerged widely into it and consumers have an opportunity to schedule their smart appliances efficiently in smart homes. In this research, meta-heuristic techniques harmony search algorithm (HSA), Pigeon Inspired Optimization (PIO) and our proposed harmony Pigeon Inspired Optimization (HPIO) are adopted to efficiently schedule smart appliances in smart home. The aim of using the above proposed techniques is to reduce Electricity Cost (EC) and Peak-to-Average Ratio (PAR). HEM is proposed to further evaluate the performance of evaluated techniques. In this work, single home and multiple homes which consist of 10,30 and 50 homes are considered equipped with multiple smart appliances. These appliances are divided into three sets, which are thermostatically and non-thermostatically controllable, and non-controllable appliances under Time-of Use (ToU) pricing scheme. Simulations are carried out on these parameters and results shows that proposed technique HPIO performed better than HSA and PIO in terms of minimizing waiting time and PAR. We have considered User Comfort (UC) in terms of waiting time.

In this paper, the optimal distribution model of hydropower load is proposed and the operation constraints of wind power and hydropower are taken into consideration. In the process of sending power to the provincial network, the harmonic searchalgorithm is introduced to optimize the maximum power generation target, and the validity of the model is verified in the case of central China regional power grid.

Data clustering is one of widely used methods for data mining. The k-means approach is one of the simplest unsupervised learning algorithms that solve the well-known clustering problem. But some hindrances such as the sensitivity to initial values and cluster centers or the risk of trapping in local optimal reduce its best performance. The purpose of kmeans method is minimizing the dissimilarity of observations, from cluster centers. In this paper, a new solution method inspired by harmonysearch combined with bee algorithm is introduced to improve performance k-means clustering. In this study, harmony and clustering structures are combined to produce harmony clustering. To avoid initial random selection, seed cluster center is considered in primary population as well as bee algorithm has been employed to increase the efficiency of algorithm. The proposed methods have been tested on standard benchmark data sets and also compared to other methods in the literature;it is noted that results show a promising performance leading to better efficiency and capability of the proposed solution.
Nowadays, nonlinear loads are being proved as a responsible factor for increase in harmonics and lead to current and voltage disturbances, thus declining the potential of the power system. In this paper, the harmonic ...

Metaheuristics form a family of optimization algorithms for solving combinatorial optimization problems by applying the research procedures to quickly find a good approximation of the best solution. In this paper we proposed a new metaheuristic novel hybrid penguins search optimization algorithm (NPeSOA) which is based on the combination of penguins search optimization algorithm (PeSOA) and harmony search algorithm (HS) to solve the Travelling Salesman Problem. The search for harmony was added to improve the research technique of PeSOA method. The results of this experience are tested by the instances of TSPLib, and compared with the methods of PeSOA and HS to show the efficiency of NPeSOA.

this paper introduces a new compact intelligent algorithm for global optimization problems. The proposed algorithm is inspired from music improvisation. It is a variant of harmony search algorithm. It is called the compact harmony search algorithm (c SA). It uses a compact representation to store the harmonies in the memory. The proposed intelligent algorithm is compared to the standard version of harmony search algorithm and the results shown that it is very efficient in terms of convergence uality, accuracy, stability and time processing. e give also an application of the algorithm for the realization of self-standing-up of the humanoid robot hydroid.

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).

Detection of faulty antenna element in arrays is one of the hot area of research in the field of adaptive beamforming which has direct applications in radar, sonar, mobile communication etc. Due to element failure, the radiation pattern of array is damaged in terms of sidelobes levels, nulls depth and displacement of nulls from their original positions. In order, to correct the faulty pattern, first it is important to precisely detect the respective faulty antenna element. In this work, we introduce hybrid nature inspire technique based on harmonysearch and firefly algorithm (HS-FA) to detect the position of faulty element in arrays. The HS-FA has shown fairly good accuracy and fast convergence as compared to HS and FA alone. The performance criterion is based on cost function (fitness function) which defines an error between the degraded and estimated power patterns. The simulation results are carried out for Dolph Chebyshev array which consists of 30 elements.

Automation of analog integrated circuit (IC) design process is very important because of the optimization contradictions. In this study, benefits of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms are presented on two stage operational amplifier design using harmony search algorithm (HSA) and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic algorithm (NSGA-II). HSA is a new kind of multi-objective evolutionary algorithm which was inspired from the musicians those are looking for the best combination of musical sounds of different instruments that produces most pleasing sound. NSGA-II is an advanced version of genetic algorithm. It combines both current parents and their child population to select new parents. These kinds of design automation tools are required for analog circuit design because there are several contradictions in the design. In this work, transistor sizes which effects all constraints indirectly were automatically synthesized by HSA an NSGA-II.
