In this chapter, enhanced tree squirrel search optimization algorithm (ETSS), enhanced salp swarm algorithm (ESS), and swim bladder operation-based shark algorithm (SBS) have been applied to solve the power loss reduction problem. Enhanced tree squirrel search optimization algorithm (ETSS) utilizes the jumping exploration method and progressive exploration technique—both possess winter search strategy—in order to preserve the population diversity and to perk up the convergence speed. A new-fangled winter exploration strategy is implemented in the jumping exploration technique. In enhanced salp swarm algorithm (ESS) an inertia weight ω∈ [0, 1] is applied, which picks up the pace of convergence during the period of exploration. Then swim bladder operation-based shark algorithm (SBS) is proposed to solve the problem. Based on contracting and expanding actions of the swim bladder in shark, SBS algorithm has been modelled.
