Abstract
This article addresses the reduction of power losses in smart grids. Two optimization algorithms are used in this article. The first method is the enumerative method. The second method of the optimization calculation is based on the self-organizing migrating algorithm. In the first step, the network parameters are calculated based on the input data, and then the target function is determined. In this article, the target function is used to reduce the active power losses that occur during the operation of an electric network. More specifically, we attempt to determine the reactive power with the enumerative and SOMA algorithms to reduce the value of the active power losses. This article intends to illustrate the differences between the selected optimization algorithms. As observed, the optimization algorithm determines the computation time.

Summary
Centralized generation is a form of electricity generation in which electricity is produced centrally, in large conventional power plants. The voltage is transformed back to a lower voltage level. This is primarily for safety reasons [1]. Transformation between these voltage levels generates losses that need to be minimized to achieve energy efficiency. The centralized topology has both advantages and disadvantages in terms of network operation The advantage of this system is that electricity flows from the power plants to the consumers and this direction is still known to the system operator. The disadvantage of a centralization topology is that if a failure occurs in the topology the consumers after the failure only receive power from this direction, and this part will be left without power [2,3]
