Abstract

This study evaluates a new hybrid approach for determining homes’ heating load (HL). The crow search algorithm (CSA), heap-based optimizer (HBO), seeker optimization algorithm (SOA), political optimizer (PO), and harmony search (HS) are the five components of the suggested paradigm. A nonlinear analysis of the effects of eight independent factors on the HL was conducted using the best structure identified in each model. The assessment procedure for the HS technique in this study consisted of three parts. The appropriate population size to utilize in the first phase was found to be the one that yields the best coefficient of determination (R2) value and the lowest root mean squared error (RMSE) value. For CSA-MLP, HBO-MLP, SOA-MLP, PO-MLP, and HS-MLP, respectively, the first phase yielded R2 = 0.96473, 0.95618, 0.96931, 0.97048, and 0.96702, and RMSE = 2.57119, 2.85968, 2.40125, 2.3554, and 2.46872. A battery of tests using a range of different nNew values (between 10 and 100) was applied to the HS-MLP with a population size of 50 in the second phase. The data indicates that the most reliable results are obtained with a nNew-value of 60. For training and testing, this value has RMSE values of 2.61518 and 2.4387 and R2 values of 0.9669 and 0.96783. In the third stage, an experiment with a population size of 50 and nNew of 60 was examined using a range of HMCR values (between 0.5 and 1.4). Concerning training and testing, the results indicate that the HMCR value 1.1 produces the most reliable results; its R2 values are 0.9739 and 0.97207, and its RMSE values are 2.32691 and 2.27488. Lastly, the results demonstrate that the accuracy of the HS-MLP method has been improved by the 3-phase analysis method.
