Abstract

Musician’s behavior-inspired harmony search (HS) algorithm was first applied to the optimal operation scheduling of a multiple dam system. The HS model tackled a popular benchmark system with four dams. Results showed that the HS model found five different global optimal solutions with identical maximum benefit from hydropower generation and irrigation, while enhanced GA model (real-value coding, tournament selection, uniform crossover, and modified uniform mutation) found only near-optimal solutions under the same number of function evaluations. Furthermore, the HS model arrived at the global optima without performing any sensitivity analysis of algorithm parameters whereas the GA model required tedious sensitivity analysis.
