procedure
The Bat Algorithm for demand-side management proceeds in four steps: (1) Initialization: Generate the initial population of bats, each with a random position (Xi) and velocity (vi) within defined constraints. (2) Fitness Evaluation: Calculate the fitness of each bat, defined as the peak demand (Dpeak) for its corresponding demand-side management schedule. (3) Loop Until Convergence: Update bats' positions and velocities based on frequency, velocity, and position update rules; perform local search if a random number is greater than the pulse emission rate (ri); update loudness (Ai) and pulse emission rate (ri) as iterations proceed; accept new solutions if they have better fitness and a random number is less than the loudness. (4) Loop until a predetermined condition is met with minimum peak demand (Dpeak).
