In this paper modifiedcuckoosearch (MCS) algorithm is considered to develop reduced order model (ROM) of higher-order linear time-invariant systems. Firstly, the MCS algorithm has been employed to minimize the integral square error (ISE) between original and proposed ROM to obtain its unknown coefficients. Five systems of different order are considered to obtain their reduced order model. Finally, various performance indices, such as ISE, integral of absolute and integral of time multiplied by absolute error, have been estimated to reveal the efficacy of the proposed model. Also, time and frequency response characteristics of original higher-order model are compared with the proposed MCS-based and some of other existing techniques-based ROM available in the literature. Furthermore, the results are compared in terms of time response specifications such as rise time (t(r)) in second, settling time (t(s)) in second and maximum peak overshoot (M-p) in percentage. It is revealed that the response of the proposed MCS-based ROM is much closer to the response of the original higher-order system.

This paper proposes a modified cuckoo search algorithm (MCSA) for solving multi-objective short-term fixed head hydrothermal scheduling (HTS) problem. The main objective of the multiobjective HTS problem is to minimize both total power generation cost and emission of thermal generators over a scheduling period while satisfying power balance, hydraulic, and generator operating limit constraints. The proposed MCSA method is developed for the problem based on improvements from the conventional CSA method which is a new metaheuristic algorithm inspired from the behavior of some cuckoo species laying their egg into the nest of other species to improve the optimal solution and speed up the computational process. In the MCSA method, the nests are evaluated and classified into two groups including the top group with better quality eggs and the abandoned group with worse quality eggs. Two effective strategies via Levy flights for producing new solutions are applied to the abandoned and top groups. To validate the efficiency of the MCSA method, several test systems have been tested and the result comparisons from the test systems have indicated that the proposed method can obtain higher quality solution and shorter computational time than many other methods. Therefore, the proposed MCSA method can be new efficient method for solving multiobjective short-term fixed-head HTS problems.

Microgrid is a group of interconnected generating units and loads at the distribution level which operates in two modes-Grid connected mode and Islanded mode. Fault clearance in a microgrid is a key challenge for protection engineers. This paper aims to identify the best fit relay suitable for a microgrid using modified cuckoo search algorithm based on key parameters like current rating, Time Multiplier Setting (TMS), Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM) and time of operation (t(op)). This algorithm aids in providing suitable relay coordination in microgrid and clears the faulty portion of network effectively from the healthy portion of network.

cuckoosearch (CS) algorithm was found to be efficient in yielding the global optimal value, and this algorithm was found to outperform genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) techniques. However, the accuracy of CS heavily depends upon the initial solution and its location from the target value and, therefore, it may involve many generations. Furthermore, the evolutionary operators are applied in each generation. This could lead to delay in convergence. To improve the performance of cuckoosearch further, an attempt has been made in the present work to propose a modifiedcuckoosearch involving two-stage initialization. Benchmark functions have been used to test the performance of the proposed method. Furthermore, the proposed method has been applied to wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) process. Inconel-690, a nickel-based superalloy, has extensive applications in aerospace and nuclear power sectors. Although WEDM is one of the advanced machining processes used to machine such hard-to-cut materials, machining data for this material is not available in the literature. The proposed algorithm was found to be accurate and fast as compared to the GA, PSO, and existing cuckoosearch. The machining data generated in this work will also be useful to the industry.

In this paper, a modifiedcuckoosearch (MCS) algorithm is proposed for solving the permutation flow shop scheduling problem (PFSP) Firstly, to make CS suitable for solving PFSPs, the largest position value (LPV) rule is presented to convert the continuous values of individuals in CS to job permutations. Secondly, after the CS-based exploration, a simple but efficient local search, which is designed according to the PFSPs' landscape, is applied to emphasize exploitation. In addition, the proposed algorithm is combined with the path relinking. Simulation results and comparisons based on benchmarks demonstrate the MCS is an effective approach for flow shop scheduling problems.

This paper proposes a modified cuckoo search algorithm (MCSA) for solving short-term hydrothermal scheduling (HTS) problem. The considered HTS problem in this paper is to minimize total cost of thermal generators with valve point loading effects satisfying power balance constraint, water availability, and generator operating limits. The MCSA method is based on the conventional CSA method with modifications to enhance its search ability. In the MCSA, the eggs are first sorted in the descending order of their fitness function value and then classified in two groups where the eggs with low fitness function value are put in the top egg group and the other ones are put in the abandoned one. The abandoned group, the step size of the Levy flight in CSA will change with the number of iterations to promote more localized searching when the eggs are getting closer to the optimal solution. On the other hand, there will be an information exchange between two eggs in the top egg group to speed up the search process of the eggs. The proposed MCSA method has been tested on different systems and the obtained results are compared to those from other methods available in the literature. The result comparison has indicated that the proposed method can obtain higher quality solutions than many other methods. Therefore, the proposed MCSA can be a new efficient method for solving short-term fixed-head hydrothermal scheduling problems. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This paper presents a modified cuckoo search algorithm (MCSA) for solving bi-objective short-term cascaded hydrothermal scheduling (BO-STCHTS) problem. The objective of the problem is to determine the optimal operation for thermal plants and a cascaded reservoir system while satisfying all constraints including electrical constraints of both hydro and thermal plants and hydraulic constraints of reservoirs so that the total generation of fuel cost and pollutant emission from thermal power plants are minimized. The MCSA has been developed by modifying the search strategy via Levy flights to improve the performance of the conventional cuckoosearchalgorithm for solving the problem. The result comparison from a test system with nonconvex fuel cost function and cascaded reservoir between the proposed MCSA and other methods in the literature has shown that the MCSA is very efficient for the BO-STCHTS problem. Therefore, the proposed NCSA can be a efficient method for solving the nonconvex BO-STCHTS problem.

This paper presents a modified cuckoo search algorithm (MCSA) for solving short-term cascaded hydrothermal scheduling (ST-CHTS) problem. The short-term cascaded hydrothermal scheduling is to determine the optimal operation for thermal plants and a cascaded reservoir system while satisfying all constraints including electrical constraints of both hydro and thermal plants and hydraulic constraints of reservoirs. The MCSA has been developed by modifying the search strategy via Levy flights to improve the performance of the conventional cuckoosearchalgorithm. The proposed method has been widely and successfully applied to many optimization problems in engineering fields;however, this is first time employed to search for the optimal solution of the ST-CHTS problem. The proposed method has been tested on two systems where thermal plants with nonconvex fuel cost function and a cascaded reservoir system are taken into account. The result comparison from the MCSA compared to other methods reported in the literature has revealed that the proposed MCSA is very efficient for solving the ST-CHTS problem.

The primary goal of a Cognitive Radio (CR) is to reprocess the spectrum holes and enhance the limited accessibility of radio spectrum capability. A longer sensing period enhances the exposure of the primary signal, but it minimizes the duration of data communication resulting in throughput failure. These problems are addressed upto a certain extent using parallel or Cooperative Spectrum Sensing (CSS) approach. To further enhance the sensing parameters, a modifiedcuckoosearch and Hill climbing (MCSH) algorithm is proposed wherein the sensing process is improved to protect the service quality of a Primary User (PU) and exploitation of white spaces. In this approach, asynchronous cooperative spectrum sensing is used to enhance spectrum sensing in the Cognitive Radio Network (CRN). It discovers the spectrum holes accurately by applying the energy detection parameters. The simulation and analytical results for 100 users explicate that MCSH enhances energy efficiency from 0.06 to 0.09 and throughput from 0.68 to 0.91;minimizes false alarm possibility from 0.22 to 0.07;miss detection possibility from 0.18 to 0.09 and error detection possibility from 0.17 to 0.08. It also improves spectrum hole detection accuracy from 85 to 99%.
