Nature inspired meta-heuristic algorithms have been widely used in order to find efficient solutions for optimisation problems, and granted results have been achieved. Particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm is one of the most utilised algorithms in recent years, which has indicated acceptable efficiency. On the other hand, bacterial foraging optimisation algorithm (BFOA) is relatively new compared to other meta-heuristic algorithms, and like PSO has shown a good ability to solve different optimisation problems. Genetic algorithms (GAs) are a well-known group of meta-heuristic algorithms which have been in use earlier than the other in various research fields. In this paper, we compare the efficiency of BFOA and PSO algorithms in an identical condition by minimising different test functions (from two to 20 dimensional). In this experiment, GA is used as a basic method in comparing the two algorithms. The methodology and results are presented. Although results verify the accurate convergency of both algorithms, the efficiency of BFOA on high-dimensional functions is dramatically better than that of PSO.

This study presents a new scheme for non-linear active noise control (ANC) systems. In the proposed ANC system, a new evolutionary algorithm known as bacterialforaging (BF) is used for optimising the adaptive controller. The proposed ANC system using bacterialforagingoptimisation (BFO) has the ability to prevent falling into local minima. Moreover, using the BF algorithm to adapt the ANC filter coefficients removes the need for the preliminary identification of the secondary path. Several computer simulations are developed in order to analyse the performance of the proposed BFO-based ANC system (BFO-ANC). The experiments are carried out in two major groups including a linear and a non-linear secondary path, along with a non-linear primary path. In each group, the effect of different parameters of the BFO algorithm is investigated on the performance and robustness of the proposed ANC system. The authors also compare the results obtained by three ANC systems;the proposed BFO-based ANC, the GA-based ANC and the filtered-X LMS-based ANC. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed BFO method in noise cancellation performance under several situations.

In this paper hybridisation between two optimisation methods such as modified bacterial foraging optimisation algorithm (MBFOA) and adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is presented for determining the optimal proportional-integral (PI) controller parameters, for fault tolerant control (FTC) in an wind energy conversion system (WECS). Initially, detection and diagnosis of fault is performed by the ANFIS. The wind turbine actual output performance and the estimated output values are given as an input to the ANFIS. The residuals, which are the outputs of ANFIS is used for deciding, whether the signal is a fault signal or a non-fault signal, which utilises the knowledge-based computation technique. By using the step size modified bacterial foraging optimisation algorithm-based FTC, the gain parameters are optimised based on the occurrence of fault. Then the proposed hybrid fault tolerant control model is implemented in the MATLAB/SIMULINK platform and the effectiveness is analysed by comparing with the other techniques. The comparison results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach and confirm its potential in controlling the fault in a WECS.

Bioreactor is one of the prime processing units widely employed to produce important chemical and biochemical compounds. In this paper, a hybrid heuristic algorithm has been attempted to tune PID controller for nonlinear Bioreactor model. The hybrid algorithm is a combination of bacterialforaging Optimization (BFO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. Multiobjective performance indexes such as Integral Square Error, peak overshoot are considered to guide this algorithm for discovering best possible value of controller parameters. The controller tuning procedure is individually discussed for both stable and unstable steady state operating region of simulated bio-reactor model. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme has been validated through a comparative study with BFO, PSO based controller tuning methods proposed in the literature. The results show that, the hybrid method provides improved performance in reference tracking and load disturbance rejection with minimal ISE value.

In this article, a bacterial foraging optimisation algorithm (BFOA)-based proportional integral derivative controller with derivative filter (PIDF) is proposed for frequency regulation of multi source hybrid power system. Initially, a two area, unequal area power system with PIDF controllers, are considered. The area 1 comprises of reheat thermal power system incorporated with distributed generation (DG) system comprising of wind turbine generators (WTGs), diesel engine generators (DEGs), fuel cells (FCs), aqua-electrolyser (AE), ultra capacitor (UC) and battery energy storage system (BESS). The area 2 comprises of hydrothermal power system. The gains of the PID controller with derivative filter are optimised by using integral time multiply absolute error (ITAE) criterion. The superiority of PIDF controller is demonstrated by comparing the dynamic responses with integral derivative (ID) and proportional integral (PI) controllers. The simulation results show that the performance of dynamic responses with PIDF controller is superior to others. Further, robustness analysis is performed by varying the system parameters and wind power variations. It is observed from the simulation results that the optimum gains of the proposed controller need not be reset even if the system is subjected to wide variation in loading condition and system parameters.
