摘要：Radial Distribution is the most popular and existing type of power transmission network in the distribution system. Losses minimizations, maintenance of good voltage profile and feeder current levels minimum are the three objectives for the distribution engineer. For the past two and half decades researchers proposed different methodologies that includes heuristic and intelligent methods. This paper explores existing popular methodologies to mitigate the problem. Research publications in the popular journals, conferences and symposiums are the main source for collecting data. Popular journals like IEEE transactions, Elsevier etc., are referred. More than 300 publications are studied which are short listed to around 50. Redundancy is thoroughly avoided before short listing the paper. This paper is useful for the researchers working in this area.
