Abstract

Active power losses have the potential to affect the distribution of power flows along transmission lines as well as the mix of energy used throughout power networks. Grey wolf optimization algorithms (GWOs) are used in electrical power systems to reduce active power losses. GWOs are straightforward algorithms to implement because of their simple structure, low storage and comput-ing needs, and quicker convergence from the constant decrease in search space. The electrical power system may be separated into three primary components: generation, transmission, and distribution. Each component of the power system is critical in the process of distributing electricity from where it is produced to where it is used by customers. By using the GWO, it is possible to regulate the active power delivered by a high-voltage direct current network based on a multi-terminal voltage-source converter. This review focuses on the role of GWO in reducing the amount of active power lost in power systems by considering the three major components of electrical power systems. Additionally, this work discusses the significance of GWO in minimizing active power losses in all components of the electrical power system. Results show that GWO plays a key role in reducing active power losses and consequently reducing the impact of power losses on the performance of electrical components by different percentages. Depending on how the power system is set up, the amount of reduction can be anywhere from 12% to 65.5%.
