Power loss reduction is an important problem that needs to be addressed with respect to generating electrical power. It is important to reduce power loss using locally generated power sources and/or compensations. This chapter brings a method of presents a method of maximizing energy utilization, feeder loss reduction, and voltage profile improvement for radial distribution network using the active and reactive power sources. Distributed Generation (DG) (wind and solar with backup by biomass generation) and shunt capacitor (QG) for reactive power demand are used. Integrating DG and QG at each bus might reduce the loss but it is economically unaffordable, especially for developing countries. Therefore, the utilization optimization method is required for finding an optimal size and location to feeders for placing QG and DG to minimize feeder loss.

The gradually extensive penetration of small-scale distributed renewable generators in existing medium-voltage power distribution networks highlights many technical challenges which call for urgent solutions from power utilities. This paper attempts to optimize the power factor of distributed generators (DGs) integrated in distribution networks and presents a novel algorithmic solution. With the aim of minimizing power loss whilst maintaining the node voltage, the problem is formulated with a mathematical model elaborating the DGs and a set of constraints in distribution networks and addressed through adopting an extended particle swarm optimization (PSO) approach. The suggested algorithm is assessed through numerical simulation experiments with the IEEE 33-bus system and the outcome shows that the optimization algorithm can effectively reduce the power loss and promote the node voltages across the overall distribution network.

The design optimization of steam turbine cold end is an important measure to ensuring safety and economic operation of the unit. Based on the universal calculation method of steam turbine output correction, considering investment cost, operation cost, cooling water expenditure and hot pollution cost, the design optimization of steam turbine cold end was carried out. An example of the domestic 300MW unit was presented to show the validity of this method. The design optimization results can be used as a foundation for the equipment selection and inviting bid documents compilation of steam turbine cold end in coal-fired power plant.

Power system scheduling is one of the most complex multi-objective scheduling problems, and a heuristic optimization method is designed for finding the OPF solution. Stochastic weight trade-off chaotic mutation-based non-dominated sorting particle swarm optimization algorithm can improve solution-search-capability by balancing between global best exploration and local best utilization through the stochastic weight and dynamic coefficient trade-off methods. This algorithm with chaotic mutation enhances diversity and search-capability, preventing premature convergence. Non-dominated sorting and crowding distance techniques efficiently provide the optimal Pareto front. Fuzzy function is used to select the local best compromise. Using a two-stage approach, the global best solution is selected from many local trials. The discussed approach can schedule the generators in the systems effectively, leading to savings in fuel cost, reduction in active power loss and betterment in voltage stability.

Dry-type transformer is a high electric strength, high mechanical strength and high heat intensity transformer. With the acceleration of our city and countryside grid construction and the energy saving requirement in power industry, the application of dry-type transformer is expanding. Also, society proposes a higher standard in dry-type transformer. To improve its working capacity and reduce power loss further, we need to analyses its inner working conditions. This thesis uses finite element software ANSYS to build a model of dry-type transformer and gets its power loss and temperature distribution under different working capacity. After comparing this simulation results with experimental results, the accuracy of simulation method is proved. This simulation provides a structure optimization method of dry-type transformer. It can reduce design cycle and cost, help to spread the application of dry-type transformer.
