Theoretical line loss calculation is the basis of line loss analysis and decision-making in loss reduction. Due to technical constraints in the past, traditional theoretical line loss calculation method uses a large number of simplified calculations. This paper proposes a new online method of line loss calculation in distribution networks which is based on PQU (active power, reactive power and voltage) load curves. The proposed method has a large amount of data operation and thus can accurately reflect the load variation with time. Based on a new kind of metrical equipment and the proposed method, the assistant decision system for comprehensive power loss reduction of rural power network has been developed and has been tested on several rural power networks. The results show its convenience, accurate calculation and high efficiency.

Optimal allocation of shunt capacitors in the radial distribution networks results in both technical and economic benefits. This paper presents a two-stage method of Loss Sensitivity Factor (LSF) and Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) to find the optimal size and location of shunt capacitors with the objective of minimizing cost due to power loss and reactive power compensation of the distribution networks. The first stage utilizes the LSF to predict the potential candidate buses for shunt capacitor placement thereby reducing the search space of the second stage and avoiding unnecessary repetitive load flow while the second stage uses the CSA to find the size and actual placement of the shunt capacitors satisfying the operating constraints. The applicability of the proposed two stage method is tested on the standard IEEE 33-bus and Ayepe 34-bus Nigerian radial distribution networks of the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company. After running the algorithm, the simulation results gave percentage real and reactive power loss reduction of 34.28% and 28.94% as compared to the base case for the IEEE 33-bus system while the percentage real and reactive power loss reduction of 22.89% and 21.40% was recorded for the Ayepe 34-bus system. Comparison of the obtained results with other techniques in literatures for the standardized IEEE 33-bus reveals the efficiency of the proposed method as it achieved technical benefits of reduced total power loss, improved voltage profile and bus voltage stability, and the economic benefit of reduced total cost due to electrical power loss and compensation.

In this paper, Synthesized Algorithm (SA) proposed to solve the optimal reactive power problem. Proposed Synthesized Algorithm (SA) is a combination of three well known evolutionary algorithms, namely Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, and Harmony Search (HS) algorithm. It merges the general operators of each algorithm recursively. This achieves both good exploration and exploitation in SA without altering their individual properties. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed SA, it has been tested in Standard IEEE 57,118 bus systems and compared to other standard reported algorithms. Simulation results show’s that Synthesized Algorithm (SA) successfully reduces the real power loss and voltage profiles are within the limits.

<p><span>To solve optimal reactive power problem this paper projects Hyena Optimizer (HO) algorithm and it inspired from the behaviour of Hyena. Collaborative behaviour &amp; Social relationship between Hyenas is the key conception in this algorithm. Hyenas a form of carnivoran mammal &amp; deeds are analogous to canines in several elements of convergent evolution. Hyenas catch the prey with their teeth rather than claws – possess hardened skin feet with large, blunt, no retractable claws are adapted for running and make sharp turns. However, the hyenas' grooming, scent marking, defecating habits, mating and parental behaviour are constant with the deeds of other feliforms. Mathematical modelling is formulated for the basic attributes of Hyena. Standard IEEE 14,300 bus test systems used to analyze the performance of Hyena Optimizer (HO) algorithm. Loss has been reduced with control variables are within the limits.</span></p>

In this paper Billfish Optimization Algorithm (BOA) and Red Mullet Optimization (RMO) Algorithm has been designed for voltage stability enhancement and power loss reduction. Electrical Power is one among vital need in the society and also it plays lead role in formation of smart cities. Continuous power supply is essential and mainly quality of the power should be maintained in good mode. In this work real power loss reduction is key objective. Natural hunting actions of Billfish over pilchards are utilized to model the algorithm. Candidate solutions in the projected algorithm are Billfish and population in the exploration space is arbitrarily engendered. Movement of Billfish is high, it will attack the pilchards vigorously and it can’t escape from the attack done by the group of Billfish. Then in this paper Red Mullet Optimization (RMO) Algorithm is proposed to solve optimal reactive power problem. Projected RMO algorithm modeled based on the behavior and characteristics of red mullet. As a group they hunt for the prey and in each group there will be chaser and blocker. When the prey approaches any one of the blocker red mullet then automatically it will turn as new chaser. So roles will interchangeable and very much flexible. At any time chaser will become blocker and any of the blocker will become a chaser with respect to prey position and conditions. Then in that particular area when all the preys are hunted completed then red mullet group will change the area. So there will be flexibility and changing the role quickly with respect to prey position. Alike to that with reference to the fitness function the particle will be chosen as chaser. By means of considering L (voltage stability) - index BOA, and RMO algorithms verified in IEEE 30- bus system. Then without L-index BOA and RMO algorithms is appraised in 30 bus test systems. Both BOA and RMO algorithms condensed the power loss proficiently with improvement in voltage stability and minimization of voltage deviation.

This paper aims to use the Rock Dove (RD) optimization algorithm and the Fuligo Septica optimization (FSO) algorithm for power loss reduction. Rock Dove towards a particular place is based on the familiar (sight) objects on the traveling directions. In the formulation of the RD algorithm, atlas and range operator, and familiar sight operators have been defined and modeled. Every generation number of Rock Dove is reduced to half in the familiar sight operator and Rock Dove segment, which hold the low fitness value that occupying the lower half of the generation will be discarded. Because it is implicit that the individual’s Rock Dove is unknown with familiar sights and very far from the destination place, a few Rock Doves will be at the center of the iteration. Each Rock Dove can fly towards the final target place. Then in this work, the FSO algorithm is designed for real power loss reduction. The natural vacillation mode of Fuligo Septica has been imitated to develop the algorithm. Fuligo Septica connects the food through swinging action and possesses exploration and exploitation capabilities. Fuligo Septica naturally lives in chilly and moist conditions. Mainly the organic matter in the Fuligo Septica will search for the food and enzymes formed will digest the food. In the movement of Fuligo Septica it will spread like a venous network, and cytoplasm will flow inside the Fuligo Septica in all ends. THE proposed RD optimization algorithm and FSO algorithm have been tested in IEEE 14, 30, 57, 118, and 300 bus test systems and simulation results show the projected RD and FSO algorithm reduced the real power loss. Keywords: optimal reactive power, transmission loss, Rock Dove, Fuligo Septica.
