“…Table 3 shows the obtained results for 10-unit system without considering transmission losses. The minimum cost, mean cost, and maximum cost of obtained optimal results are compared with results of previously developed algorithms such as differential evolution (DE) [14], hybrid EP and SQP [10], Hybrid PSO-SQP [32], deterministically guided PSO (DGPSO) [23], modified hybrid EP-SQP (MHEP-SQP) [40], improved PSO (IPSO) [16], Hybrid DE (HDE) [41], Improved DE (IDE) [15], artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC) [21], modified differential evolution (MDE) [17], covariance matrix adapted evolution strategy (CMAES) [42], artificial immune system (AIS) [20], hybrid swarm intelligence based harmony search algorithm (HHS) [3], improved chaotic particle swarm optimization algorithm (ICPSO) [43], hybrid artificial immune systems and sequential quadratic programming (AIS-SQP) [27], hybrid SOA-SQP algorithm [28], chaotic sequence based differential evolution algorithm (CS-DE) [12], chaotic differential evolution (CDE) method [18], adaptive hybrid differential evolution algorithm (AHDE) [31], and enhanced cross-entropy method (ECE) [25] in Table 4. The maximum iteration number and number of trails are selected to be 200 and 100, respectively.…”
