Robustness Evaluation of the Butterfly Optimization Algorithm on a Control System

In this paper, the Butterfly Optimization Algorithm (BOA) proposed by [1] is adopted to optimize the parameters of a designed Lead-Lad Controller so as to obtain a stabilized control system. Numerical analysis was carried out for BOA on the control problem and the results are compared to those obtained from the well known Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Differential Evolution (DE) Algorithm. BOA performs better in terms of eigenvalue analysis but similar to GA and DE in terms of optimizing the minimum damping coefficient for the control system
