With the formulation of United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, marine pollution has received widespread attention from various countries. Green navigation is an important requirement for route planning, in which energy consumption is its primary focus. Ships are affected by complex marine meteorological environments, so it is difficult to plan a reasonable route. Some methods have been proposed to solve this problem, but there are some shortcomings, such as no consideration of the effect of wind direction, wind speed and wave. To solve this problem, we introduce a meta-heuristic whale optimization algorithm (WOA), which helps ships find a low-energy-consumption and safe route in a large-scale complex marine environment. The results of our simulation experiments indicate that WOA is more competitive than other state-of-the-art algorithms for route planning.

The accuracy and stability of relative pose estimation of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and a target depend on whether the characteristics of the underwater image can be accurately and quickly extracted. In this paper, a whale optimization algorithm (WOA) based on lateral inhibition (LI) is proposed to solve the image matching and vision-guided AUV docking problem. The proposed method is named the LI-WOA. The WOA is motivated by the behavior of humpback whales, and it mainly imitates encircling prey, bubble-net attacking and searching for prey to obtain the globally optimal solution in the search space. The WOA not only balances exploration and exploitation but also has a faster convergence speed, higher calculation accuracy and stronger robustness than other approaches. The lateral inhibition mechanism can effectively perform image enhancement and image edge extraction to improve the accuracy and stability of image matching. The LI-WOA combines the optimization efficiency of theWOA and the matching accuracy of the LI mechanism to improve convergence accuracy and the correct matching rate. To verify its effectiveness and feasibility, the WOA is compared with other algorithms by maximizing the similarity between the original image and the template image. The experimental results show that the LI-WOA has a better average value, a higher correct rate, less execution time and stronger robustness than other algorithms. The LI-WOA is an effective and stable method for solving the image matching and vision-guided AUV docking problem.

To solve the problems of premature convergence and easily falling into local optimum, a whale optimization algorithm based on dynamic pinhole imaging and adaptive strategy is proposed in this paper. In the exploitation phase, the dynamic pinhole imaging strategy allows the whale population to approach the optimal solution faster, thereby accelerating the convergence speed of the algorithm. In the exploration phase, adaptive inertial weights based on dynamic boundaries and dimensions can enrich the diversity of the population and balance the algorithm's exploitation and exploration capabilities. The local mutation mechanism can adjust the search range of the algorithm dynamically. The improved algorithm has been extensively tested in 20 well-known benchmark functions and four complex constrained engineering optimization problems, and compared with the ones of other improved algorithms presented in literatures. The test results show that the improved algorithm has faster convergence speed and higher convergence accuracy and can effectively jump out of the local optimum.

whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is a population-based meta-heuristic imitating the hunting behavior of humpback whales, which has been successfully applied to solve many real-world problems. Although WOA has a good convergence rate, it cannot achieve good results in finding the global optimal solution of high-dimensional complex optimization problems. The learning mechanism of Lamarckian evolutionism has the advantages of speeding up and strengthening local search. Through this learning mechanism, solutions with certain conditions can acquire higher adaptability with a higher probability by active learning. To enhance the global convergence speed and get better performance, this paper presents a WOA based on Lamarckian learning (WOALam) for solving high-dimensional function optimization problems. First, the population is initialized by good point set theory so that individuals can be evenly distributed in the solution space. Second, the upper confidence bound algorithm is used to calculate the development potential of the individual. Finally, based on the evolutionary theory of Lamarck, individuals with more development potentials are selected to perform the local enhanced search to improve the performance of the algorithm. The WOALam was compared with six variants of WOA on 44 benchmark functions. The experiments proved that the proposed algorithm can balance the global exploring ability and the exploiting ability well. It could obtain better results with fewer iterations and had good convergence speed and accuracy.

Renewable energy sources have provided a great contribution to global energy demand;However, their intermittent characteristics can cause sustainability and efficiency problems. To handle these, alternative systems are utilized. Among these, proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) stand out with their longer lifecycle, efficient, and costeffective features. However, their performance depends on operating conditions such as temperature, gas pressure, and membrane water content. These nonlinear features require instant and proper control for maximizing efficiency and longer working life. In this study, a whale optimization algorithm (WOA) based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller is utilized for a PEMFC system. To validate the proposed controller, the PEMFC system has been analyzed under changing conditions in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. The proposed method has been compared with the other MPPT methods. The results indicate that the proposed controller can provide accurate and fast MPPT performance, less power fluctuations, and higher production efficiency.& COPY;2023 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.

While handling problems of certain complex scene optimization, the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) algorithm may be affected by precocious convergence or local optimal solutions, resulting in the accuracy of low convergence and stagnation of dimensional population. To address these limitations, this research presents a whale optimization algorithm, which is established on pinhole imaging reverse learning and the golden sine strategy (LWOAG). Firstly, LWOAG employs pinhole imaging reverse learning to determine the reverse solution for optimal individual in the population, thereby improving the population's quality and algorithm convergence ability. Secondly, LWOAG utilizes the golden sine operator to perform greedy selection after the whale completes the search update, thus extending the search range and increasing the algorithm's global search capacity. Finally, after conducting comprehensive tests on 12 benchmark functions, LWOAG outperforms other enhanced whale optimization algorithms and intelligent algorithms in terms of accuracy and stability.

In this work, an attempt has been made to implement a nature-inspired stochastic evolutionary algorithm, namely whale optimization algorithm (WOA) for exploring optimum and practical solutions of load frequency control (LFC) problem in power system. The proposed WOA mimics the 'bubble-net feeding' strategy of 'humpback whales' in the oceans. The optimization technique is individually applied to a two-area thermal power plant and two-area hydro-thermal-gas power plant with AC-DC tie-line for fine-tuning of the controller parameters. The study further houses the consequences of frequency measurement and the dynamics of a phase-locked loop (PLL) with power system nonlinearities. To establish the efficacy of WOA, the obtained results are compared with results of success history based adaptive differential evolution (SHADE), krill herd algorithm (KHA), and some other well-known control algorithms. Finally, statistical analysis is performed to affirm robustness of the proposed WOA in LFC area.

Use of multiprocessors applications to solve complex problems in computer's system contributes to the increase in performance and speed of today's computer. In multiprocessors environment, it is very important to have a great strategy or method on scheduling the processors that are utilized to handle a specific task in the computer system. As each scheduling problem involves problem-specific variables, multiprocessors need different and appropriate algorithm for their problems. This study introduces the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) for task scheduling. Comparisons with other existing methods were also conducted to highlight the efficiency of the proposed WOA in performing task scheduling.
