Abstract: In this paper, a novel meta-heuristics algorithm, namely the Firefly Algorithm (FA), is applied to PID controller parameter tuning in Smith Predictor. The controller is used to control feed ...

Bio-inspired computational methods have gained popularity recently. These methods mimic the seemingly complex behavior of organisms to tackle difficult and often overwhelming problems. For example, ...

Abstract: Increase in the investment, fuel and other costs calls for the need of optimization of load dispatch on the Economics front. In the recent developments in the power systems, renewable source ...
