Optimal maintenance scheduling of generator units using discrete integer cuckoo search optimization algorithm

The results obtained are compared with the work of previous researchers using the same test system and using the Genetic Algorithm with Binary Representation (GABR), Genetic Algorithm with Integer Representation (GAIR), Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization (DPSO), Modified Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization (MDPSO) and Hybrid Scatter Genetic Algorithm (HSGA). The results show that the DICS outperformed all the other algorithms.
