This work introduces the Advanced Multi-Objective Salp Swarm Algorithm Exploration Technique (AMET), which is a novel optimization framework designed to enhance the efficiency and robustness of multi-robot exploration. AMET combines the deterministic structure of Coordinated Multi-Robot Exploration (CME) with the adaptive search capabilities of the Multi-Objective Salp Swarm Algorithm (MSSA) to achieve a balanced trade-off between exploration efficiency and mapping accuracy. To validate its effectiveness, AMET is compared to both multi-objective and single-objective exploration strategies, including CME combined with Multi-Objective Grey Wolf Optimizer (CME-MGWO), Multi-Objective Ant Colony Optimization (CME-MACO), Multi-Objective Dragonfly Algorithm (CME-MODA), and the single-objective CME with traditional Salp Swarm Algorithm (CME-SSA). The evaluation focuses on four critical performance metrics: runtime efficiency, exploration area coverage, mission completion resilience, and the reduction of redundant exploration. Experimental results across multiple case studies demonstrate that AMET consistently outperforms both single-objective and multi-objective counterparts, achieving superior area coverage, reduced computational overhead, and enhanced exploration coordination. These findings highlight the potential of AMET as a scalable and efficient approach for robotic exploration, providing a foundation for future advancements in multi-robot systems. The proposed method opens new possibilities for applications in search-and-rescue operations, planetary surface exploration, and large-scale environmental monitoring.
The transformation of traditional grid networks towards smart-grid and microgrid concepts raises many critical issues, and quality in the power supply is one of the prominent ones that needs further research. Developing and applying power quality (PQ) recognition methods with efficient and reliable analysis are essential to the fast-growing issues related to modern smart power distribution systems. In this regard, a hybrid algorithm is proposed for PQ events detection and classification using Elasticnet Regression-based Variational Mode Decomposition (ER-VMD) and Salp Swarm Algorithm optimized Probabilistic Neural Network (SSA-PNN). The Elasticnet Regression (ER) process is suggested to modify the conventional VMD approach instead of the Tikhonov Regularization (TR) method to enhance performance and obtain better band-limited intrinsic mode functions. This idea results in robust and effective reconstruction features and helps to obtain accurate classification using the classifier. In the classification stage, a Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) based PNN is used for the PQ event, considering the relevant features obtained from ER-VMD. The system parameters often influence PNN performance, and SSA is used to determine the ideal values to improve the PNN's capacity for more accurate classification. The numerical values of the accuracy percentage, percentage of sensitivity, and percentage of specificity in the case of real-time data are found as 98.58, 100, and 98.46, respectively. The acquired comparison findings demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed technique in terms of rapid learning speed, smaller computational complexity, robust performance for anti-noise conditions, and accurate identification and categorization.

This paper introduces the Walrus Optimization Algorithm (WaOA) to address load frequency control and automatic voltage regulation in a two-area interconnected power systems. The load frequency control and automatic voltage regulation are critical for maintaining power quality by ensuring stable frequency and voltage levels. The parameters of fractional order Proportional-Integral-Derivative (FO-PID) controller are optimized using WaOA, inspired by the social and foraging behaviors of walruses, which inhabit the arctic and sub-arctic regions. The proposed method demonstrates faster convergence in frequency and voltage regulation and improved tie-line power stabilization compared to recent optimization algorithms such as salp swarm, whale optimization, crayfish optimization, secretary bird optimization, hippopotamus optimization, brown bear optimization, teaching learning optimization, artificial gorilla troop optimization, and wild horse optimization. MATLAB simulations show that the WaOA-tuned FO-PID controller improves frequency regulation by approximately 25%, and exhibits a considerable faster settling time. Bode plot analyses confirm the stability with gain margins of 5.83 dB and 9.61 dB, and phase margins of 10.8 degrees and 28.6 degrees for the two areas respectively. The system modeling and validation in MATLAB showcases the superior performance and reliability of the WaOA-tuned FO-PID controller in enhancing power system stability and quality under step, random step load disturbance, with nonlinearities like GDC and GDB, and system parameter variations.
Load frequency control (LFC) is critical for maintaining stability in interconnected power systems, addressing frequency deviations and tie-line power fluctuations due to system disturbances. Existing methods often face challenges, including limited robustness, poor adaptability to dynamic conditions, and early convergence in optimization. This paper introduces a novel application of the sinh cosh optimizer (SCHO) to design proportional-integral (PI) controllers for a hybrid photovoltaic (PV) and thermal generator-based two-area power system. The SCHO algorithm's balanced exploration and exploitation mechanisms enable effective tuning of PI controllers, overcoming challenges such as local minima entrapment and limited convergence speeds observed in conventional metaheuristics. Comprehensive simulations validate the proposed approach, demonstrating superior performance across various metrics. The SCHO-based PI controller achieves faster settling times (e.g., 1.6231 s and 2.4615 s for frequency deviations in Area 1 and Area 2, respectively) and enhanced robustness under parameter variations and solar radiation fluctuations. Additionally, comparisons with the controllers based on the salp swarm algorithm, whale optimization algorithm, and firefly algorithm confirm its significant advantages, including a 25-50% improvement in integral error indices (IAE, ITAE, ISE, ITSE). These results highlight the SCHO-based PI controller's effectiveness and reliability in modern power systems with hybrid and renewable energy sources.
