In an Electrical power system, Power losses become very significant due to high R/X ratio, high current and low voltage. High amount of distribution losses affects the distribution efficiency. Distribution companies (DISCOMs) have an economic inducement to get these losses reduced. Generally, this inducement is the difference between actual losses and standard one in terms of cost. Hence, in case where actual losses are lesser than standard one, the DISCOMs can benefit monetarily or when the opposite happens, they gets penalized. Therefore, it is always recommended to reduce the losses as much as possible. Several methodologies have been published in literature for losses reduction such as capacitor allocation, feeder reconfiguration, grading of cables, DG (Distributed generation) placements, DSTATCOM allocation. The presented article provides a comprehensive review or comparative analysis of various methodologies for loss reduction. It presents reconfiguration techniques simultaneous with loss reduction and reliability too.
