Power loss minimization by voltage transformer turns ratio selection based on Particle Swarm Optimization

The research considers the optimization of the taps position of voltage transformers to minimize power loss. The Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm is implemented to this optimization problem. The advantage of this algorithm is the ability to adapt to an optimization problem. It was found out that the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm is more productive than the greedy heuristic algorithm based on the division of this optimization problem into subtasks. Also, the paper studied the influence of particle velocity restriction on the efficiency of the algorithm.
