%0 Journal Article %T Optimal Placement of Reclosers to Minimize Power Losses during Non-Load Bearing Disturbances in a Power Distribution Using Firefly Algorithm %A Wyclife Odongo Amolo %A Peter Musau %A Abraham Nyete %J Journal of Power and Energy Engineering %P 63-75 %@ 2327-5901 %D 2021 %I Scientific Research Publishing %R 10.4236/jpee.2021.95004 %X The research reported in this paper focuses on non-technical power loss reduction for power distribution systems. Such reduction of costs of energy not served (ENS.COST), is intelligently evaluated and optimized using a firefly algorithm, from where savings of 43.3% on energy not served are achieved. %K Loss Minimization %K Non-Load Bearing Power Losses %K Optimum Location %K Reclosers %K Transient Power Balance %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=109266
