The paper discusses about reduction of active power loss in distribution system by power system reconfiguration technique. The Reconfiguration is simple open and close operation of sectionalizing and tie switches that find the combination of switches which is optimal configuration with minimum active power losses for network. Here, the configuration can solve by Manual method, but the manual method has limitation so the genetic algorithm technique is used for determine the best configuration. The Distributed Generation (DG) unit is added for more reduction in real power loss. This method is tested for a part of distribution network of Madhya Gujarat Vij Company Limited (MGVCL) 30 bus system. The test results are included in paper. The result shows the reconfiguration technique for real power loss is very useful. It reduces the real power loss and improves the voltage profile of the network.
