Hybrid Optimal Power System Recovery and Load Pick-Up With DGAllocation In Electrical Power System

The increasing demand for electricity, the expansion of complex power networks, and the operation of power systems near their capacity have heightened the risk of power outages. Consequently, control room operators must develop comprehensive restoration plans to minimize recovery time. Key steps in power system restoration include starting non-black-start units with black-start units and initiating load pick-up. This process requires identifying the shortest route between nodes to expedite repairs. This research presents an expert plan employing the Modified Cuckoo Search algorithm (MCSA) to determine optimal pathways. Additionally, it explores the optimal allocation of distributed generators (DG) to enhance the system's voltage profile and reduce power losses using particle swarm optimization (PSO). The results demonstrate that DG significantly reduces losses during recovery. The study prioritizes the restoration of DGs with strong black start capability, considering network and DG constraints. The effectiveness of the proposed restoration approach is validated through MATLAB simulations on theIEEE 39-bus system.

A Multi-Objective Trajectory Planning Method of the Dual-Arm Robot for Cabin Docking Based on the Modified Cuckoo Search Algorithm

During the assembly of mechanical systems, the dual-arm robot is always used for cabin docking. In order to ensure the accuracy and reliability of cabin docking, a multi-objective trajectory planning method for the dual-arm robot was proposed. A kinematic model of the dual-arm robot was constructed based on the Denavit–Hartenberg (D-H) method firstly. Then, in the Cartesian space, the end trajectory of the dual-arm robot was confirmed by the fifth-order B-spline curve. On the basis of a traditional multi-objective cuckoo search algorithm, a modified cuckoo algorithm was built using the improved initial population generation method and the step size. The total consumption time and joint impact were selected as the objective functions, the overall optimal solution for the modified cuckoo algorithm was obtained using the normalized evaluation method. The optimal trajectory planning was achieved. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the trajectory planning method were verified with the experiments.

Does the priority of ambulance guarantee no delay? a MIPSSTW model of emergency vehicle routing optimization considering complex traffic conditions for highway incidents.

Globally, traffic accidents on the highway network contribute significantly to a high fatality rate, drawing considerable attention from health institutions. The efficiency of transportation plays a vital role in mitigating the severe consequences of these incidents. This study delves into the issues of emergency vehicles experiencing delays despite having priority. Therefore, we construct mixed-integer linear programming with semi-soft time windows (MIPSSTW) model for optimizing emergency vehicle routing in highway incidents. We analyze the time-varying and complex traffic situations and respectively propose corresponding estimation approaches for the travel time of road segments, intersections on the urban road network, and ramp-weave sections on the highway network. Furthermore, we developed a modified cuckoo search(MCS) algorithm to solve this combinatorial problem. Optimization strategies of Lévy flight and dynamic inertial weight strategy are introduced to strengthen the exploration capability and the diversity of solution space of the CS algorithm. Computational experiments based on the Chinese emergency medical system data are designed to validate the efficacy and effectiveness of the MIPSSTW model and MCS algorithm. The results show that our works succeed in searching for high-quality solutions for emergency vehicle routing problems and enhance the efficacy of strategic decision-making processes in the realm of incident management and emergency response systems.

Security and privacy concerns in social networks mathematically modified metaheuristic-based approach

Potential risks and vulnerabilities in Social Networks (SN) that may threaten the confidentiality, accuracy, and accessibility of data provided by users have been identified as safety risks. Unauthorized usage of the system, breaches of data, privacy violations, cyber-attacks, and other malicious behaviors that negatively impact the SN’s reliability and security may be addressed within these. Innovative techniques that use scientifically enhanced metaheuristic algorithms are the subject of the study, which attempts to address evolving issues of security and privacy in SNs. In order to improve the security of online social networking data encryption, researchers recommend implementing the MMCSOA approach, which is the Mathematically Modified Cuckoo Search Optimization Algorithm. An enhanced tuning of elliptic curve parameters can be accomplished by adapting the Cuckoo Search method, which, in consequence, provides an encrypted environment for multi-party computing. Users’ preferences for confidentiality are considered while applying a fuzzy logic (FL) decision matrix to select individuals. Data security is improved, and users receive additional authority over data shared with MMCSOA. Research findings prove that MMCSOA is higher compared to other methods in securing users’ privacy.

A supervised parallel optimisation framework for metaheuristic algorithms

A Supervised Parallel Optimisation (SPO) is presented. The proposed framework couples different optimisation algorithms to solve single-objective optimisation problems. The supervision balances the exploration and exploitation capabilities of the distinct optimisers included, providing a general framework to solve problems with diverse characteristics. In this work, five optimisation algorithms are included in the ensemble: Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Covariance Matrix Adaption-Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES), Differential Evolution (DE), and Modified Cuckoo Search (MCS). A geometric path-finding problem with numerous local minima is used to demonstrate the advantage of SPO. The effectiveness of the approach is compared with that of stand-alone incidences of the integrated optimisation strategies and with state-of-the-art algorithms. In addition, a benchmark test suit composed of engineering applications is utilised to validate the general applicability of SPO with respect to a variety of problems. The good solutions generated by SPO are shown to be generally reproducible, while isolated algorithms, at best, render good solutions only occasionally.

An Adaptive Perturb and Observe Algorithm With Enhanced Skipping Feature for Fast Global Maximum Power Point Tracking Under Partial Shading Conditions

Solar energy exposed its prominence to diminish the growing energy demands. But the formation of multiple peaks under partial shading conditions causes the conventional maximum power point tracking controllers to fail to track the global maximum power point (GMPP). Scanning the whole power-voltage curve to locate the GMPP takes extreme time and reduces algorithm effectiveness. Thus, the proposed method devotes the skipping and scanning mechanism incorporated with the perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm to reduce the scanning area drastically. The skipping mechanism skips over the scanning areas between successive peaks based on a specific formula that narrows down the scanning zone. Along with a buck-boost converter, the system includes a voltage control loop controlled by a proportional-integral controller. The proposed algorithm's effectiveness is tested in both simulation and experimental environments on discretized partial shading patterns while GMPP is deployed at different locations. According to the experimental outcomes, the proposed algorithm outperforms the modified maximum power trapezium, skipping fast GMPP, modified cuckoo search, and the conventional P&O algorithm with an average convergence time of 1.02 sec and average efficiency of 99.44 percent.

Redirection and Protocol Mechanisms in Content Delivery Network-Edge Servers for Adaptive Video Streaming

Redirection and protocol techniques are key components of the infrastructure for Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) that aid in the delivery of Multimedia Internet services to end-consumers. Redirection methods are used to route the user’s request to the nearest edge server, minimizing distance, improving delivery times, and lowering latency. Protocol mechanisms, such as HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH), and Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP), are used to deliver adaptive video streaming. These protocols are designed to transfer the adaptive streaming and provide high-quality video playback. They also allow the system to adjust the video quality based on the network conditions of the Quality of Service (QoS). Inadequate transmission protocols and poorly designed redirection algorithms are two major challenges that might degrade Cloud–CDN performance. These challenges lead to excessive latency, poor quality of service, and significant packet loss that have potential influences on the user experience. In this paper, firstly, three protocols are proposed by preparing a case study on selecting the optimal protocol for replicating adaptive video streaming content. Secondly, a redirection algorithm based on the Modified Cuckoo Search Algorithm (MCSA) is proposed to provide an accurate redirecting process of selected edge servers to end-users. Test results indicate that, when hybrid FASP/HTTP protocols were chosen (from original server to replicate server and to end-users), the delivery of adaptive video streaming segments was fast with lower latency. The average estimated time needed for replicating video content based on FASP is 25% better than that needed for File catalyst and Signiant protocols. Therefore, the Cuckoo search method presents more efficient results for selecting the optimal edge server for 100 servers, which is 0.296 s, compared to the conventional algorithm, which was 13 s.

A fast and accurate global maximum power point tracking controller for photovoltaic systems under complex partial shadings

<span lang="EN-US">The operating conditions of partially shaded photovoltaic (PV) generators created a need to develop highly efficient global maximum power point tracking (GMPPT) methods to increase the PV system performance. This paper proposes a simple, efficient, and fast GMPPT based on fuzzy logic control to reach the point of global maximum power. The approach measures the PV generator current in the areas where it is almost constant to estimate the local maximums powers and extracts the highest among them. The performance of this method is evaluated firstly by simulation versus four well-known recent methods, namely the hybrid particle swarm optimization, modified cuckoo search, scrutinization fast algorithm, and shade-tolerant maximum power point tracking (MPPT) based on current-mode control. Then, experimental verification is conducted to verify the simulation findings. The results confirm that the proposed method exhibits high performance for complex partial irradiances and can be implemented in <br /> low-cost calculators.</span>

A modified cuckoo search algorithm implemented with SCA and PSO for multi-robot cooperation and path planning

The paper puts forward an intelligent approach that deals with the computation of an optimal path with collision avoidance for the stick-carrying twin moving from a pre-assumed start position to a predefined goal position. It has been solved through the efficient implementation of modified cuckoo search, sine cosine algorithm, and particle swarm optimization to design a hybrid algorithm aimed at using the communal advantages of the search and position update ability of these algorithms. The benefits are realized by integrating the egg-laying behavior of the cuckoo species to achieve an efficient global search strategy with modified parameters, local search strategy of particle swarm optimization, and greedy approach of sine cosine algorithm. The proposed algorithm is validated using 10 standard benchmark functions, computer simulation using C language, and real robot platform using Epuck robot to illustrate minimal time, shortest distance, collision avoidance, path smoothness, synchronized action, and reduced energy usage in terms of the path traveled, execution time, the number of steps, and the number of turns in the static as well as the dynamic environment.

Modified Cuckoo Search Algorithm for Motion Vector Estimation

Motion estimation and motion compensation are the accepted process in H.264 and H.265 video coding standard to reduce temporal redundancy. Several fast block matching algorithms have been developed to reduce the calculation cost in the motion estimation process. But quick block matching algorithms often lead to a local minimum. Several researchers used different population-based nature-inspired algorithms to perform block matching. Algorithms like genetic algorithm, differential evolution, particle swarm optimization were used in numerous motion estimation algorithms. Different algorithms used a fitness approximation strategy to reduce computation cost. Jaya algorithm-based block matching is the most efficient block matching algorithm in the available literature. Jaya algorithm is free from algorithmic specific parameter which speeds up the process. This article proposes a few modifications to the traditional cuckoo search algorithm and then, a block matching algorithm was proposed based on the modified cuckoo search algorithm. Fitness approximation, adaptive termination, and zero motion prejudgment modules were used with the modified cuckoo search algorithm to reduce the number of redundant calculations. The performance of the proposed algorithm was compared with the exhaustive search algorithm and other benchmarking algorithms in terms of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structure Similarity Index (SSIM), and average search point required to calculate a motion vector for a block. The proposed algorithm delivers better performance compared to the benchmarking algorithms.

Using population algorithms to optimize the temperature regime of roasting phosphorite pellets

The problem of rational energy resource use is especially acute for energy- intensive industries, which include high-temperature processing of mining chemical raw materials (for example, the production of phosphorite pellets from apatite-nepheline ore waste by drying and roasting). In this regard, the temperature modes of roasting conveyor machine should ensure not only the completion of the ongoing chemical-technological processes and the required product quality, but also energy and resource saving. Thus, there is an urgent scientific and practical task of optimizing charge heating modes based on the results of modeling heat and mass transfer processes occurring in various zones of the roasting conveyor machine. The impossibility of carrying out expensive full-scale experiments leads to the need to use computer simulation methods. Nonlinearity, large dimension of the search space, high computational complexity make it difficult to use traditional deterministic search methods. Under these conditions, the stochastic methods that deliberately introduce an element of randomness into the search algorithm show good results. Today, population algorithms based on modeling the collective behavior of living organisms and characterized by the ability to simultaneously process several options have become widespread. To solve the optimization problem, it is proposed to use a modified Cuckoo search algorithm (by introducing fuzzy elements), which provides a comprehensive account of a huge number of parameters set for each vacuum chamber of the roasting conveyor machine. The control of the chemical-energy-technological system for the processing of apatite-nepheline ores waste, taking into account the obtained data and based on the existing neural network model of the high-temperature process, will make it possible to minimize the amount of return and provide energy-saving conditions for the operation of roasting units.

Modeling and identification of nonlinear hysteresis behavior of piezoelectric actuators using a computationally efficient phenomenological model and modified cuckoo search algorithm

Hysteresis, an intrinsic characteristic of piezoelectric (PZT) actuators, has been demonstrated to dramatically reduce the capability and stability of the system. This paper proposes a novel computationally efficient model to describe nonlinear and hysteresis behaviors of PZT actuators. First of all, the model parameters are analyzed to investigate their effects on the output response. Then, a modified cuckoo search algorithm is used to identify the model parameters, without falling into the local optimum problems through introducing adaptive egg discovery probability and step length control factor. Further, the performance of the proposed model is validated using experimental data, via the comparison with classical Bouc-Wen and Prandtl-Ishlinskii hysteresis models. Finally, the rate-dependence of the parameters of proposed model is analyzed, which contributes to a generalized hysteresis model for the compensation control application of PZT actuators.

Bitcoin price prediction using optimized multiplicative long short term memory with attention mechanism using modified cuckoo search optimization

SummaryFor the past few years, Bitcoin plays a vital role in both the economical and financial industries. In order to gain a huge return on investment, the investors are eager to forecast the future value of Bitcoin. However, Bitcoin price variation is quite nonlinear and chaotic in nature, so it creates more difficulty in forecasting future value. Researchers found that the multiplicative long short term memory (LSTM) model will be more efficient for predicting those complex variations. So, target mission is about to develop an optimized multiplicative LSTM with an Attention mechanism using Technical Indicators derived from historical data. A modified cuckoo search optimization model is proposed to tune the hyperparameter of the Deep Learning model. This novel optimization algorithm eliminates the local optimum and slower convergence problem of the cuckoo search optimization algorithm. Deibold Mariano test is performed to statistically evaluate the proposed model and it is inferred that the recommended methodology is statistically fit. Regression metrics such as root mean square error, mean square error and mean absolute error has been used for comparative evaluation with related benchmark techniques such as genetic algorithm optimized LSTM (GA–LSTM), particle swarm optimized LSTM (PSO–LSTM) and cuckoo search optimized LSTM (CSO–LSTM). The empirical result shows that the recommended methodology outperforms the taken benchmark models and provides better accuracy.
