“…The results produced by proposed algorithms on above considered different test systems of DED problem are compared with other state-of-the-art algorithms. These compared algorithms are listed as follows: EAPSO [59], MBF-SSO [60], DE [61], ABC [62], ICA [63], CMAES [64], Lbest-PSO [65], TVAC-IPSO [66], BBPSO [55], BBO [67], BSO [68], BLPSO [69], CSO [70], DE/BBO [71], LDISS [72], SOC [73], DE/eig [74], LWOA [75], SATLBO [76], SLPSO [77], LETLBO [78], MHEP-SQP [79], CDBCO [80], CSAPSO [81], ECE [82], MACO [83], CSADHS [84], IPSO [85], SALCSSA [86], HS [58], GHS [58], ODO-DE [87], ODO-PSO [87], BBO [88], ICPSO [89] and MTLA [90]. In order to check the efficiency of the proposed algorithms nPSO, nDE and ihPSODE, least values of population size (40), maximum number of iterations (500)/maximum number of function evaluations (5000) and independent runs (25) 9); for TSys-2 are reported in Table 10 (1,017,530.3328 $/day), Table 11 (1,016,756 $/day) and Table…”
