The demand of energy is increasing at an escalating pace and cannot be fulfilled entirely by
conventional energy systems, due to their limited supplies. In addition to this they have a …

Recently utilities are continuously seeking cost-effective and accurate power quality (PQ)
improvement techniques in order to achieve customer satisfaction. This paper intends to …

Abstract The Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) algorithm is a swarm intelligent
algorithm widely used in various optimization problems. However, BFO suffers from multiple …

Bacterial foraging optimization algorithm (BFOA) has been widely accepted as a global
optimization algorithm of current interest for distributed optimization and control. BFOA is …

The abundance and non-polluting nature of solar energy has aroused the interest of many
researchers. This worldwide attention of photovoltaic panels has led to the need of …

A maiden attempt is made to examine and highlight the effective application of bacterial
foraging (BF) to optimize several important parameters in automatic generation control …

The bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) algorithm mimics how bacteria forage over a
landscape of nutrients to perform parallel nongradient optimization. In this article, the author …

Owing to avoid harmonic and power quality issues, the concept of eliminating their impacts
on microgrid systems has gained a lot of interest. Incidentally, shunt active filters (SHAFs) is …

Parkinson′ s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease, which has attracted
more and more attention. Many artificial intelligence methods have been used for the …

Bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) is predominately used to find solutions for real-world
problems. One of the major characteristics of BFO is the chemotactic movement of a virtual …
