In recent years, demand side management programs are in the spotlight due to the evolution of the smart grid and consumer-centric policies. Demand side management program contains many objectives one of the prime objective is to manage energy demand by certain change in consumer demand. This can be achieved by various methods such as financial discount and change in behavior through imparting education to support the stressed conditions of the grid. This paper demonstrates demand side management strategies based upon strategic conservation, peak clipping and load shifting techniques for future smart grids. The grid contains large number of controllable devices. The day before strategic conservation, peak clipping and load shifting techniques discussed in this paper are mathematically derived for minimization problem. A heuristic-based whale optimization algorithm (WOA) was developed for solving this problem of minimization. Simulations are conducted on a test smart grid that contains a variation in loads in two service areas, one with residential consumers, and another with commercial consumers. WOA proves its efficacy by comparing the results with spider monkey optimization and biogeography based optimization. The simulation results show that proposed demand side management strategies achieve substantial savings, while reducing the peak load demand of the smart grid.

Development, operations and management of multi-objective reservoirs, is vital for timely water supply. Optimisation studies were done at the Klang Gate Dam (KGD) utilising standard optimisation and dynamic programming;according to the technology then. Taking it further, the KGD was studied using the nature-inspired meta-heuristic algorithms (MHAs). The whale Optimisation algorithm (WOA) solves complex technical issues. The Levy flight and distribution (LFWOA) was incorporated to increase productivity at the KGD. The aim of this study to minimise KGD's water deficit with WOA and LFWOA. The study comprises of two sections. The first section examined observed monthly inflow, demand, and storage data from 2001 to 2019, whilst the second compares performances to established MHAs, from 1097 to 2008. In the first section, LFWOA and WOA reliability were 60.53 and 58.33 %,respectively. For 2010, both methods gave similar vulnerability value. The LFWOA scored 1.04 while the WOA scored 1. In second section, the LFWOA satisfied 69.70% of exact demand, while the WOA met 56.06%. LFWOA had attained the least shortage. The LFWOA algorithm was the most robust among the MHAs (1.88). In short, the LFWOA is better on the count of reliability, resilience, and scarcity scores.

The state of charge (SOC) is a core parameter in the battery management system for LMFP batteries. Accurate SOC estimation is crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of energy storage applications and new energy vehicles. In order to achieve better SOC estimation accuracy, this article proposes an adaptive whale optimization algorithm (WOA) with chaotic mapping to improve the BP neural network (BPNN) model. The SOC estimation accuracy of the BPNN model was improved by utilizing WOA to find the optimal target weight values and thresholds. Comparative simulation experiments (including constant current and working condition discharge experiments) were conducted in Matlab/Simulink R2018a to verify the proposed algorithm and the other four algorithms. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm had higher SOC estimation accuracy than the other four algorithms, and its prediction errors were less than 1%. This indicates that the proposed SOC estimation method has better prediction accuracy and stability, and has certain theoretical research significance.

A modified whale optimization algorithm (MWOA) with dynamic leader selection mechanism and novel population updating procedure is introduced for pattern synthesis of linear antenna array. The current best solution is dynamic changed for each whale agent to overcome premature with local optima in iteration. A hybrid crossover operator is embedded in original algorithm to improve the convergence accuracy of solution. Moreover, the flow of population updating is optimized to balance the exploitation and exploration ability. The modified algorithm is tested on a 28 elements uniform linear antenna array to reduce its side lobe lever and null depth lever. The simulation results show that MWOA algorithm can improve the performance of WOA obviously compared with other algorithms.

The present work focuses on determining optimal parametric data set and sustainability assessment during laser micro-drilling of a new class of polymer matrix composite consisting of carbon nanotube. The material removal rate, taper, and heat-affected zone during machining are considered as performance measuring indices. Experiments are conducted using Taguchi's L-25 orthogonal array with cutting speed, pulse frequency, lamp current, air pressure, and pulse width as input control parameters. An overall assessment value and ranking of the desired output parameters are carried out using multi-objective optimization based on the ratio analysis (MOORA) method to acquire the best parametric setting. A second-degree regression equation is developed through MOORA-Taguchi, involving all input parameters to perform the multi-objective optimization using whale optimization algorithm which is a meta-heuristic optimization technique. To verify the adequacy of the developed model, analysis of variance tool using response surface methodology is utilized. The optimal results obtained by using the whale optimization algorithm are cutting speed of 150 (m/s), lamp current of 26 (amp), frequency of 12 (kHz), air pressure of 3 (kg/cm(2)), and pulse width of 30 (%) with an objective function value of 0.022715. The used technique is found to be a potential in finding multi-response optimization that can fulfill the wide necessities of process engineers working in the laser industries. It is also demonstrated that the proposed process is easing worker safety, promoting pleasant working environment and better product quality, and enhancing production rate leading to improved sustainability.

In this paper, a whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is applied to solve the multi-objective real power loss and bus voltage deviation (VD) minimizations for grid connected micro power system with non firm small power plants. The control variables are the voltage magnitude at voltage control buses and the transformer tap changers. The methods were tested with IEEE 6 and 14 buses systems comparing to genetic algorithm (GA), artificial bee colony (ABC), and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The simulation results shown that WOA can successfully provide the minimum the multi-objective real power loss and bus VD solution than those computed by GA, ABC, and PSO. Moreover, the applied methods use the minimum computation time among all methods.

Power is an issue that must be considered in the design of logic circuits. Power optimization is a combinatorial optimization problem, since it is necessary to search for a logical expression that consumes the least amount of power from a large number of Reed-Muller(RM) logical expressions. The existing approach for optimizing the power of multi-output mixed polarity RM(MPRM) logic circuits suffer from poor optimization results. To solve this problem, a whale optimization algorithm with two-populations strategy and mutation strategy(TMWOA) is proposed in this paper. The two-populations strategy speeds up the convergence of the algorithm by exchanging information about the two-populations. The mutation strategy enhances the ability of the algorithm to jump out of the local optimal solutions by using the information of the current optimal solution. Based on the TMWOA, we propose a multi-output MPRM logic circuits power optimization approach(TMMPOA). Experiments based on the benchmark circuits of the Microelectronics Center of North Carolina(MCNC) validate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed TMMPOA.

The accuracy of hydraulic turbine model has a direct influence on controller design and system stability. This paper presents an improved whale optimization algorithm (IWOA) and its application in parameter identification of hydraulic turbine at no-load. In IWOA, two strategies including the increase in global exploration probability and combination of immune operator are introduced to avoid local optimum. Besides, in the identification process, the adaptive modification method is developed to solve the estimated parameter range uncertainty problem. Finally, in the example of Unit 4 in Huanglongtan Hydropower Plant, China, the results of different methods are compared. Considering the indicators of cost, iteration and total computation time, the results show that IWOA has faster convergence and higher precision than WOA.
