Optimal frequency control in microgrid system using fractional order PID controller using Krill Herd algorithm
This paper investigates the use of fractional order Proportional, Integral and Derivative (FOPID) controllers for the frequency and power regulation in a microgrid power system. The proposed microgrid system composes of renewable energy resources such as solar and wind generators, diesel engine generators as a secondary source to support the principle generators, and along with different energy storage devices like fuel cell, battery and flywheel. Due to the intermittent nature of integrated renewable energy like wind turbine and photovoltaic generators, which depend on the weather conditions and climate change this affects the microgrid stability by considered fluctuation in frequency and power deviations which can be improved using the selected controller. The fractional-order controller has five parameters in comparison with the classical PID controller, and that makes it more flexible and robust against the microgrid perturbation. The Fractional Order PID controller parameters are optimized using a new optimization technique called Krill Herd which selected as a suitable optimization method in comparison with other techniques like Particle Swarm Optimization. The results show better performance of this system using the fractional order PID controller-based Krill Herd algorithm by eliminates the fluctuations in frequency and power deviation in comparison with the classical PID controller. The obtained results are compared with the fractional order PID controller optimized using Particle Swarm Optimization. The proposed system is simulated under nominal conditions and using the disconnecting of storage devices like battery and Flywheel system in order to test the robustness of the proposed methods and the obtained results are compared.У статті досліджено використання регуляторів пропорційного, інтегрального та похідного дробового порядку (FOPID) для регулювання частоти та потужності в електромережі. Запропонована мікромережева система складається з поновлюваних джерел енергії, таких як сонячні та вітрогенератори, дизельних генераторів як вторинного джерела для підтримки основних генераторів, а також з різних пристроїв для накопичування
енергії, таких як паливна батарея, акумулятор і маховик. Через переривчасту природу інтегрованої відновлювальної енергії, наприклад, вітрогенераторів та фотоелектричних генераторів, які залежать від погодних умов та зміни клімату, це впливає на стабільність мікромережі, враховуючи коливання частоти та відхилення потужності, які можна поліпшити за допомогою вибраного контролера. Контролер дробового порядку має п’ять параметрів порівняно з класичним PID-контролером, що робить його більш гнучким та надійним щодо збурень мікромережі. Параметри PID-контролера дробового порядку оптимізовані за допомогою нової методики оптимізації під назвою «зграя криля», яка обрана як підходящий метод оптимізації порівняно з іншими методами, такими як оптимізація методом рою частинок. Результати показують кращі показники роботи цієї системи за
допомогою алгоритму «зграя криля», заснованого на PID-контролері дробового порядку, виключаючи коливання частоти та відхилення потужності порівняно з класичним PID-контролером. Отримані результати порівнюються з PID-контролером дробового порядку, оптимізованим за допомогою оптимізації методом рою частинок. Запропонована система моделюється в номінальному режимі роботи та використовує відключення накопичувальних пристроїв, таких як акумулятор та маховик, щоб перевірити надійність запропонованих методів та порівняти отримані результати
Evolution of swarming behavior is shaped by how predators attack
Animal grouping behaviors have been widely studied due to their implications
for understanding social intelligence, collective cognition, and potential
applications in engineering, artificial intelligence, and robotics. An
important biological aspect of these studies is discerning which selection
pressures favor the evolution of grouping behavior. In the past decade,
researchers have begun using evolutionary computation to study the evolutionary
effects of these selection pressures in predator-prey models. The selfish herd
hypothesis states that concentrated groups arise because prey selfishly attempt
to place their conspecifics between themselves and the predator, thus causing
an endless cycle of movement toward the center of the group. Using an
evolutionary model of a predator-prey system, we show that how predators attack
is critical to the evolution of the selfish herd. Following this discovery, we
show that density-dependent predation provides an abstraction of Hamilton's
original formulation of ``domains of danger.'' Finally, we verify that
density-dependent predation provides a sufficient selective advantage for prey
to evolve the selfish herd in response to predation by coevolving predators.
Thus, our work corroborates Hamilton's selfish herd hypothesis in a digital
evolutionary model, refines the assumptions of the selfish herd hypothesis, and
generalizes the domain of danger concept to density-dependent predation.Comment: 25 pages, 11 figures, 5 tables, including 2 Supplementary Figures.

Frequency Control of Microgrid with Renewable Generation using PID Controller based Krill Herd
The main of this paper is to provide optimal control of a state microgrid system. The proposed configuration composes of renewable generation systems such as solar photovoltaic system and wind turbine generator with a Diesel Engine Generator and Fuel-Cell. An Aqua electrolyzer and other energy storage systems such as battery and flywheel are also used in the proposed microgrid. A standard PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) controller scheme is introduced whose its parameters are determined using different optimizations algorithm such as Algorithm Genetic, Particle Swarm Optimization, and Krill Herd algorithm for minimizing frequency and power deviations, in order to enhance the operation of this system. The PID controller gains are optimized by resolving an objective function. The simulation results are shown, and given that the Krill Herd algorithm improves the performance of the system in comparison with GA and PSO based on PID. The efficiency of the system is improved
Current Studies and Applications of Krill Herd and Gravitational Search Algorithms in Healthcare
Nature-Inspired Computing or NIC for short is a relatively young field that
tries to discover fresh methods of computing by researching how natural
phenomena function to find solutions to complicated issues in many contexts. As
a consequence of this, ground-breaking research has been conducted in a variety
of domains, including synthetic immune functions, neural networks, the
intelligence of swarm, as well as computing of evolutionary. In the domains of
biology, physics, engineering, economics, and management, NIC techniques are
used. In real-world classification, optimization, forecasting, and clustering,
as well as engineering and science issues, meta-heuristics algorithms are
successful, efficient, and resilient. There are two active NIC patterns: the
gravitational search algorithm and the Krill herd algorithm. The study on using
the Krill Herd Algorithm (KH) and the Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) in
medicine and healthcare is given a worldwide and historical review in this
publication. Comprehensive surveys have been conducted on some other
nature-inspired algorithms, including KH and GSA. The various versions of the
KH and GSA algorithms and their applications in healthcare are thoroughly
reviewed in the present article. Nonetheless, no survey research on KH and GSA
in the healthcare field has been undertaken. As a result, this work conducts a
thorough review of KH and GSA to assist researchers in using them in diverse
domains or hybridizing them with other popular algorithms. It also provides an
in-depth examination of the KH and GSA in terms of application, modification,
and hybridization. It is important to note that the goal of the study is to
offer a viewpoint on GSA with KH, particularly for academics interested in
investigating the capabilities and performance of the algorithm in the
healthcare and medical domains.Comment: 35 page
Optimized cluster head selection using krill herd algorithm for wireless sensor network
Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs) can perform transmission within themselves and examination is performed based on their range of frequency. It is quite difficult to recharge devises under adverse conditions. The main limitations are area of coverage, network’s lifetime and aggregating and scheduling. If the lifetime of a network should be prolonged, then it can become a success along with reliability of the data transferred, conservation of sensor and scalability. Through many research works, this challenge can be overcome which are being proposed and the network’s lifespan improved which can preserve the sensor’s energy. By schemes of clustering, a low overhead is provided and the resources are efficiently allocated thus increasing the ultimate consumption of energy and reducing interfaces within the sensor nodes. Challenges such as node deployment and energy-aware clustering can be considered as issues of optimization with regards to WSNs, along with data collection. An optimal solution can be gotten through evolutionary and SI algorithm, pertaining to Non-deterministic Polynomial (NP)-complete along with a number of techniques. In this work, Krill Herd Algorithm based clustering is proposed
