PSO | The technique does not use derivatives and is less sensitive to the nature of the objective function, as well as less dependent on the set of initial points, presents high efficiency. | The technique lacks a solid mathematical basis and is a variant of stochastic optimization techniques that require more computational time. | [15,22,30,33,49] |
TS | The technique is highly compatible with other methods and, in addition, spends more time in the region where the solution is optimal. This is achieved by using deterministic motions that reduce the variability caused by the initial solution. | This technique requires a larger number of iterations, which may result in a slower convergence rate. | Not found |
Coyote optimization algorithm (COA) | The technique has fast convergence and has proven to be effective on a variety of optimization problems, including those that are nonlinear and multimodal. | The COA may have difficulty finding accurate solutions and may stall at local optima, especially in problems that have multiple local optima.

ESCA | This optimization method is inspired by the POPA algorithm and can handle systems with multiple generators. | The application of the technique becomes complex due to the optimization of multiple constraints. | Not found |
AWSA | It is feasible to make changes to the AWSA to easily adjust it to various types of optimization problems. | The performance of AWSA can be significantly affected by the quality of the initial solution; in case the initial solution is poor, the algorithm may encounter difficulties in reaching the optimal solution. | [36] |
