Comparative analysis of some evolutionary-based models in optimization of dam reservoirs operation

Abstract Deriving optimal operation policies for multi-reservoir systems is a complex engineering problem. It is necessary to employ a reliable technique to efficiently solving such complex problems. In this study, five recently-introduced robust evolutionary algorithms (EAs) of Harris hawks optimiz...
