This paper presents a novel tuning method of a complex multiresonant current controller (MRCC). An online auto-tuning process is proposed to provide optimal coefficients suitable for the real-time operation of a grid-connected power converter. The time-consuming and inaccurate simulation stage based on the model of the plant is omitted. A novel function of constraints has been introduced into the optimization scheme to ensure the desired behavior of the control system. In this solution, the noise level of a control signal and the rise time of controlled currents are directly defined. To the author's best knowledge, it is the first time when such a solution is proposed. Next, the most commonly used meta-heuristic optimizationalgorithms were applied to solve this particular optimization problem. Another original concept presented in the paper is the application of the disturbance-in-the-loop (DiL) approach. In this method, the distorted phase voltages are emulated during the tuning stage, and optimal coefficients of MRCC are selected in the off-grid operation of the power converter. The proposed solution ensures safe and efficient online tuning of the MRCC for an extremely simple performance index. As a result, the high-performance operation of the grid-connected inverter is achieved. A brief stability analysis based on Lyapunov's stability theory is included. Experimental results obtained for grid-connected inverter indicate superior disturbance attenuation and current tracking. Advantages of the proposed approach are exhibited when compared to two analytical reference solutions.& COPY;2023 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Over the past couple of decades, the research area of network community detection has seen substantial growth in popularity, leading to a wide range of researches in the literature. nature-inspired optimization algorithms (NIAs) have given a significant contribution to solving the community detection problem by transcending the limitations of other techniques. However, due to the importance of the topic and its prominence in many applications, the information on it is scattered in various journals, conference proceedings, and patents, and lacked a focused-literature that synthesizes them in a single document. This review aims to provide an overview of the NIAs and their role in solving community detection problems. To achieve this goal, a systematic study is performed on NIAs,followed by historical and statistical analysis of the researches involved. This would lead to the identification of future trends, as well as the discovery of related research challenges. This review provides a guide for researchers to identify new areas of research, as well as directing their future interest towards developing more effective frameworks in the context of nature-inspired community detection algorithms.

Human activity recognition has complex applications because of its worldly use of acquisition devices, namely video cameras and smartphones, and its capability to take human activity data. Human activity recognition became a hot scientific subject in the area of computer vision. It is convoluted in the growth of numerous significant applications like virtual reality, human-computer interaction, video surveillance, home monitoring, and security. Then, a broad range of activity recognition models is established for disabled individuals. Human activity recognition is recognized as the art of naming and identifying activities utilizing artificial intelligence-based deep learning and machine learning methods. In this manuscript, an Enhanced Activity Recognition for Disability People Using a Deep Learning Model and nature-inspired optimization algorithms (EARDP-DLMNOA) model is proposed. The EARDP-DLMNOA model mainly relies on improving the activity recognition model using advanced optimizationalgorithms. Initially, the data normalization stage is executed using the min-max normalization to convert input data into a beneficial format. Furthermore, the EARDP-DLMNOA model employs the adaptive chimp optimization (AdCO) technique for the feature subset selection. The deep convolutional auto-encoder (DCAE) technique categorizes data into predefined classes based on its features for the activity recognition process. Finally, the DCAE model's hyperparameter selection uses the zebra optimization algorithm (ZOA) model. A wide-ranging experimentation is carried out to validate the performance of the EARDP-DLMNOA approach under the HAR through the smartphone dataset. The experimentation validation of the EARDP-DLMNOA approach portrayed a superior accuracy value of 97.58% over existing methods.

Installing Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) to improve electrical infrastructures of Direct-current (DC) railway systems implies considerable investments that must be assessed carefully. Therefore, it is often necessary to combine detailed railway simulations and decision support mechanisms. Unfortunately, most examples in the literature deal with this topic applying only a single-stage optimization approach: the whole installation is undertaken in a single step, assuming the total budget is available. This paper presents a comprehensive methodology to assess the gradual deployment of the installations when the budget is split into different time periods. This approach is a common situation in real projects and has not been studied yet in the literature. Most often, this type of multi-stage problem is tackled by optimizing each stage independently. On the contrary, this paper proposes to take decisions considering the global impact of each stage optimization, rendering a more efficient solution. This paper proposes a multi-stage formulation of two nature-inspired optimization algorithms (Genetic and Fireworks) to address the installation of ESSs in a realistic railway line. Results demonstrate the excellent behavior of the proposed multi-stage optimization.

Cluster analysis using metaheuristic algorithms has earned increasing popularity over recent years due to the great success of these algorithms in finding high-quality clusters in complex real-world problems. This paper proposes a novel framework for automatic data clustering with the capability of generating clusters with approximately the same maximum distortion using nature-inspired binary optimizationalgorithms. The inherent problem with clustering using such algorithms is having a huge search space. Therefore, we have also proposed a binary encoding scheme for the particle representation to alleviate this problem. The proposed clustering solution requires no prior knowledge of the number of clusters and proceed with the process based on re-clustering, merging, and modifying the small clusters to compensate for the distortion gap between groups with different sizes. The proposed framework's performance has been evaluated over a wide range of synthetic, real-life, and higher dimensional datasets first by considering four different binary optimizationalgorithms for the optimizer module. Then, it has also been compared to multiple classical and new clustering solutions and two other automatic clustering techniques in continuous search space in terms of separation and compactness of the clusters by utilizing internal validity measures. The experimental results show the proposed solution is highly efficient in creating well-separated and compact clusters with approximately the same distortion in most datasets. Moreover, the application of the proposed framework to the correlated binary dataset is also reported as a case study. The presence of correlation in a dataset results from the similarity between data points in the same category, such as repeated measurements in remote sensing, crowdsourced multi-view video uploading, and augmented reality. Simplicity, customizability, and flexibility in adding extra conditions to the proposed solution and having a dynamic nu

nature-inspiredalgorithms usually use some form of attraction and diffusion as a mechanism for exploitation and exploration. In this paper, we investigate the role of attraction and diffusion in algorithms and their ways in controlling the behavior and performance of nature-inspiredalgorithms. We highlight different ways of the implementations of attraction in algorithms such as the firefly algorithm, charged system search, and the gravitational search algorithm. We also analyze diffusion mechanisms such as random walks for exploration in algorithms. It is clear that attraction can be an effective way for enhancing exploitation, while diffusion is a common way for exploration. Furthermore, we also discuss the role of parameter tuning and parameter control in modern metaheuristic algorithms and then point out some key topics for further research.

Introducing a novel meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, the Flood Algorithm (FLA) draws inspiration from the intricate movement and flow patterns of water masses during flooding events in river basins. FLA mathematically models key phenomena such as the movement of water toward slopes, flow rates over time, soil permeability effects, and periodic increases and decreases in water levels from precipitation and losses. Leveraging these models, the algorithm guides the movement and evolution of a population of potential solutions toward enhanced optimality. The algorithm endeavors to establish an appropriate correlation between the fundamental aspects of natural flood events and the optimization process. Its formulation and working mechanism are described in detail. It operates in two main phases-a regular movement phase, where the population moves naturally toward current best solutions, and a flooding phase, which introduces random disturbances to increase diversity. New solutions are periodically introduced while weaker ones are removed, mirroring the natural cycles of water levels. FLA's effectiveness is demonstrated through its application on well-known benchmark optimization problems and engineering design problems. Extensive comparisons have been carried out on CEC2005 functions using 16 algorithms in both basic and enhanced modes, as well as on CEC2014 functions with dimensions 30, 50, and 100 using a total of 20 other algorithms. These rigorous studies unequivocally confirm the robustness and strength of the proposed algorithm. Furthermore, the algorithm's performance on 12 constrained engineering problems demonstrates its ability to tackle real-world challenges. The FLA's source code is publicly available at https://***/projects/fla.
