Abstract
In this paper, a hybrid population-based, nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm is developed and applied to solve the load-sharing optimization problem, which is a common problem that appears in many industrial applications. The proposed algorithm is a hybrid multi-population metaheuristic that combines the diversification capability of the Crow Search Algorithm (CSA) and the intensification capability of the Symbiotic Organisms Search (SOS). It uses two subpopulations. One subpopulation evolves according to the CSA algorithm and is responsible for finding promising regions in the search space. The second subpopulation evolves according to the SOS algorithm and is responsible for performing a refined search in the promising regions to find the best solution for the problem. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with the performance of five competing algorithms, including the stand-alone versions of CSA and SOS. The results obtained show that the proposed CSA-SOS outperformed all the competing algorithms in all experiments.
