“…As shown in Table 10, the optimal cost obtained by the CGQBA is $121406.8912/hr. Table 11 provides the comparison between the results obtained by the CGQBA and those obtained by the other methods (the CHK [18], SSA [21], MSSA [46], CSA, MCSA [50], PPSO [51], SSA, ESSA [53], θ-MBA [64], CBA [67], CE-SQP [87], BA [97], FMILP [91], BSA [94], AAA, HAAA [99], IGA, MPSO, GWO, GWOI, GWOII, NGWO, NPSO [100], CJAYA, PSO-LRS [101], BBO, HBMO, IHBMO , MABC [102], SQPSO [103], OIWO [104], CSO, OLCSO [105], PI-CBA [106], AGWO [107], SDP [108],QPSO, QPSO-M1 [109], IODPSO-G, and IODPSO-L [110]). The statistical results reveal that the CGQBA can compete with many optimization methods; only the PI-CBA, HAAA and AGWO perform better than the CGQBA.…”
