This paper proposed an offset measured least regression based ALO to solve ORPD and ELD problems of IEEE 57 bus system designed with different transmission line models. These two problems are highly non-linear and non-convex defiance optimization of problem. The solution of ALO depends on exploration and exploitation if the difference between local and global variables is large, therefore chance to miss the best optimal solution. The weighted elitism phase of the algorithm gives diversified results because exploration is more biased toward elite particles. Which is due to decreasing of random walk to achieve the convergence characteristics. The proposed LSR-EALO can balance both exploration and exploitation, which improves the solution of optimization problem. Simulation is performed with proposed method on different IEEE 57 bus power system models, such as the positive sequence, 3-Phase PI, and distributed CP transmission lines based power systems, and lumped PI lines based low voltage hardware model (LVHM). In this paper, the ORPD problem was used to describe control variables like generator voltage, tap changers of transformers, and switching of capacitor banks subjected to power loss minimization function. Also, described voltage deviation and voltage stability index. Similarly, the ELD was described the active power allocation among generators to meet the sum of load demand and losses in the systems at minimum fuel cost function. And in depth analysis of the optimization results shows accuracy of control variables in ORPD and ELD problems. Also, the effectiveness of proposed method was also verified by comparing results with other meta heuristic algorithms.
