“…In comparison with basic TLBO, the structure is further simplified, and the function evaluation number in each generation is significantly reduced. To evaluate the performance of LBEO, it is tested on three large scale benchmark functions, and compared with the basic TLBO and five commonly used methods, including GA-TB [5], PSO-IW [5], SaDE [5], GL-25 [5], HIS [5] and TLBO [5]. Then, LBEO is employed to solve the OPF problem in a standard IEEE 30-bus test system with the objective of the minimum total fuel cost.…”
