Transmission losses in electrical power systems are inevitable and represent a significant concern for energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness. These losses occur during the transmission of electricity from power plants to distribution networks and ultimately to consumers. Transmission losses result in wasted energy, higher operational costs, and inefficient resource utilization. This literature review discusses the various causes of transmission losses, including resistive losses, reactive power losses, and line configurations, as well as their impact on power system performance. The review also examines various methods for mitigating these losses, including advancements in transmission technologies, optimization techniques, and the integration of renewable energy sources. By analyzing current research and technological developments, this review highlights the critical areas for improving power system efficiency and reducing transmission losses.
