Advantages and disadvantages of PSO and GSA.

Optimization method	Advantages	Disadvantages
PSO	Less parameters tuning; Easy constraint; Good for multiobjective optimization; [33]	Low quality solution; Needs memory to update velocity; Slow convergence rate
GSA	High quality solution; Good convergence rate; Local exploitation capability [34]	Needs more computational time; More parameters tuning
