To Develop Mathematical Models For Power Losses Along Transmission Lines And To Minimize The Losses Using Classical Optimization Techniques

Availability of electric power has been the most powerful vehicle for facilitating economic, industrial and social developments of any nation. Electric power is transmitted by means of transmission lines which deliver bulk power from generating stations to load centres and consumers. For electric power to get to the final consumers in proper form and quality, losses along the lines must be reduced to the barest minimum. A lot of research has been carried out on analysis and computation of losses on transmission lines using reliability indices, but hardly any on the minimization of losses using…
