Popis: The computational efficiency of various nature-inspired algorithms is compared here for a specific hydropower optimization problem, selected as test-case due to its accurate reference solution yielded by the Newton-Raphson method. The above test-case is attached to a hydropower development in Romania, bounded by Vidraru Reservoir (on Arges river) and Vidraru Hydro-Power Plant. The results obtained in this paper using four algorithms, namely Genetic Algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Flower Pollination Algorithm, and Shark Smell Optimization, are compared with previous results obtained on the same test-case using other algorithms (Honey Bees Mating Optimization Algorithm, Firefly Algorithm, Cuckoo Search Algorithm, Bat-Inspired Algorithm). It turned out that PSO is the most efficient algorithm among the 8 tested algorithms.
