An Improved Ant Lion Optimization Algorithm and Its Application in Hydraulic Turbine Governing System Parameter Identification

In this paper, an improved ant lion optimization (IALO) algorithm for parameter identification of hydraulic turbine governing system (HTGS) is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, the search space is explored by the ant lion optimization first, and then the domain is searched by the particle swarm optimization (PSO) in each iteration cycle. A chaotic mutation operation namely Logistics map is introduced for the elite to break out of the local...
