Abstract

Nowadays, there is a very popular artificial intelligence algorithm called whale optimization algorithm (WOA). WOA is obtained through the special bubble net foraging process of humpback whales. It has a special search mechanism, and is very helpful to solve some complex optimization problems and large scale. An improved WOA is implemented to optimize the cascade reservoir power generation. Firstly, by introducing nonlinear time-varying adaptive weights, the WOA performance in the local optimization and global exploration stages is improved; secondly, the differential mutation perturbation factor is introduced in the shrinking and surrounding stage of the whale algorithm to prevent premature convergence. In addition, the logarithmic spiral search method of whale individuals has been improved so that the ability to solve the algorithm traversal can be found. Experimental results show that it has a great improvement in accuracy and convergence compared with the original WOA in the optimal dispatch model of cascade reservoir power generation.
