Fixed broadband wireless access is a promising technology allowing Internet service providers to expend their customer base in sparsely populated rural areas. Because the size of the target service area is humongous, relay in- frastructure is e

Artificial bee colony optimization(ABC)

Distributed Generators (DGs) in a microgrid may operate in three different reactive power control strategies, including PV, PQ and voltage droop schemes. This paper proposes a new stochastic programming approach for reactive power scheduling of a mic

The artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is a metaheuristic algorithm for numerical optimization. It is based on the intelligent foraging behavior of honey bees. This paper presents a parallel version of the algorithm for shared memory archi
