ABSTRACT: 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.
