Optimization of Reservoir Operation Using Cuckoo Search Algorithm: Example of Adiguzel Dam, Denizli, Turkey

Algorithm 1

Cuckoo Search algorithm.

Generate initial population of nests ,

for

 Determine fitness value

end for

while (stopping criterion is not satisfied)

 Generate a cuckoo egg () from random nest by Lévy flights

 Determine fitness value

 Select a random nest

   if then

   end if

 Abandon a fraction of the worst nests

 Build new nests by Lévy flights

 Compare fitness of new nests and keep best nest

end while
