Abstract

The paper presents the new modified camel algorithm (NMCA) as a new optimization method for solving optimization tasks. NMCA is different from the modified camel algorithm (MCA) and other metaheuristic algorithms. Where it provides a new insight for global optimization. The proposed method is verified using power distribution system problems (engineering problems) commonly used in the area of optimization. Simulations were conducted on the IEEE 69- and 33-bus systems. The NMCA algorithm successfully achieved the optimal solutions at various test cases. NMCA results are further compared with MCA and well-known optimization algorithms. The results show that the NMCA is efficiently capable of solving optimization problems.
