In this study, an energy efficiency study has been carried out through the moment values of a quadrotor applied in the position control with the differential evolution algorithm (DE), which is under the evolutionary algorithms among meta-heuristic algorithms particle swarm optimization (PSO) which is among swarm-based algorithms and gravity search algorithm (GSA) among physics-based algorithms and charged system search (CSS) algorithm, which are all well-known in the literature. The efficient use of energy in electrically powered flying mechanisms is important in terms of completing its task. The aim of this study is to obtain proportional–integral–derivative (PID) coefficients that minimize the energy consumption caused by quadrotor moments. First of all, 12 PID coefficients calculated with traditional Ziegler Nicholes, and trying-error methods for the control of the quadrotor have been trained with DE, PSO, GSA and CSS algorithms and their cost values have been found for this problem. In the study, optimum PID coefficients have been found separately with each algorithm and torque data giving energy efficiency have been obtained by applying them to the state equations. Although the cost minimization convergence value obtained from DE does not look good compared to other algorithms, it has been observed that the moment values of the obtained PID coefficients in the control program are lower. In the study, it has been shown that the PID coefficients obtained from DE reach the target with approximately less energy than the maximum-moment value of the PSO, which provides the closest moment value. It can be thought that this value contributes to energy consumption in each orbital movement of the quadrotor. The simulation results show that the coefficients obtained from DE provide better energy efficiency and are superior to other algorithms compared in terms of energy efficiency. • PID coefficients for quadrotor control are optimized with DE,PSO,CSS,GSA algorithms • The torque values to be applied to each motor were adjusted with these coefficients • The total force applied with DEPID in the z direction is smaller than others • DEPID consumes less energy than the other algorithms in the paper [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• A generalized decoupling metaheuristic RBDO framework is proposed. • A particle's memory saving strategy is developed to provide effective guidance. • A new adaptive fractional-order equilibrium optimizer algorithm is developed. • Numerical and engineering examples illustrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm. Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) algorithm is to minimize the objective under the probabilistic factors. While gradient-based and classical evolutionary RBDO algorithms provide promising performance on simple optimization problems, they are likely to perform poorly on challenging problems, including the multimodal functions, discrete design spaces, non-differential problems, etc. This paper proposes a unified framework to improve the performance of existing RBDO algorithms for complex RBDO problems. Our framework is based on three new strategies: generalized decoupling evolutionary and metaheuristic RBDO framework, particle's memory saving strategy, and adaptive fractional-order equilibrium optimizer algorithm. The proposed algorithm is characterized by a decoupling strategy to enable the parallel operation of the inner reliability computation and outer deterministic optimization, a particle's memory saving strategy to provide effective guidance from the previous iteration, and the adaptive fractional-order equilibrium optimizer algorithm to enhance the search efficiency and global convergence capacity. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, a wide range of experiments are conducted on different types of use cases. The experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm provides superior performance over other comparative algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• Hybridized Crow search algorithm (CSA) and Artificial Bee Colony (ABC). • Used three mechanisms to improve CSA and ABC known as FRCSA-ABC. • Tested on benchmark and Combined Heat and Economic Dispatch problems. • Validated its search capability and robustness in cost-effectiveness. • Conducted non-parametrical tests to prove its efficient optimization. This paper attempts to obtain optimal generation scheduling for Combined Heat and Power Economic Dispatch (CHPED) problems and seeking a possible solution for the global optimization of test systems. As such, a Fuzzy adaptive Ranking- based Crow Search Algorithm (FRCSA) is amalgamated with modified Artificial Bee Colony (ABC). The proposed algorithm (FRCSA-ABC) has been integrated with three mechanisms in order to achieve competitive results effectively. The first mechanism uses the Fuzzy logic Inference System (FIS) to tune dynamically the parameters of flight length (fl) and awareness probability (CAP) of each crow. The second mechanism emerges from a natural phenomenon known as proximate optimality principle (POP) which reveals that better individuals will often have beneficial information and more probabilities to select and guide other individuals. This observation leads to the feasibility-based Ranking Crow Search Algorithm (RCSA) which generates a new food source from the chosen higher rankings of parent food sources. The third mechanism integrates the two modified global search phases of ABC with a local search phase of FRCSA to ensure promising performance. During the evaluation process, this mechanism investigates the aging level of the individual's best solution (p best) in order to choose an appropriate search phase in FRCSA and two modified phases of ABC. The performance of the algorithm is tested on four CHPED test systems, 23 well-known benchmark functions, and test suit of CEC2017. The results obtained are compared with its variants as well as with existing different approaches to validate its optimal search efficiency. Further, non-parametric statistical tests such as pair-wise and multiple comparisons tests are adapted to establish the supremacy of the FRCSA-ABC. The seminal aspect of this intended algorithm is that it can achieve cost-effectiveness conforming to meticulous global convergence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
