Cuckoo Search technique for active load and loss allocation in transmission line with load increase condition

These Active load and loss allocation has become a concern in power system with the introduction of deregulation. Deregulation often gives opportunity for the end user to choose their own supplier which has brought the importance of active load and loss allocation in transmission line. Thus, this paper proposed a Cuckoo Search technique as a tool to allocate both active load and losses in transmission line. The technique has been tested in normal and load increase condition. Cuckoo Search is a simple technique that did not involve complex mathematical procedures but provides a better performance in terms of accuracy and computational time. The allocation is done by treating the active load and loss as an optimization problem. This paper presented the result obtained from IEEE-30 bus system in both normal and load increase condition. In addition, comparative study has been conducted with Genetic Algorithm technique.
