Discussion on application of coopetive coevolution of differential evolution algorithm to optimal operation of cascaded reservoirs

For optimal operation of cascade reservoirs, this paper puts forward a coopetive coevolution of differential evolution algorithm that originated from the ecology's relationship between individual living environment and population competition. In this algorithm, the model of fitness evolution considers the evolution of external environments and internal links of population competition. Practical application shows that this method can improve accuracy and efficiency of modeling and it would provide a new approach for operation of high-dimensional and complex cascaded reservoirs. © right.
