<![CDATA[Distribution network reconfiguration serves to mitigate power losses in distribution networks. Each distribution network encounters disturbances resulting in power losses and voltage drops. Various methods can reduce power losses and improve voltage values in distribution networks. This research presents an effort to reduce power losses using the Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) method through a case study on the Barata Feeder. Distribution network reconfiguration occurs by adding new channels without altering existing ones and without relocating loads through additional switches in the distribution network. The creation of new channels assumed the use of the same type and conductor. Planning five new channels using the Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) method could decrease power losses from 242.2333 kW before distribution network reconfiguration to 93.1859 kW. Thus, it achieved a reduction of 62.1555 kW.Kata kunci: Reconfiguration, Distribution Network, Power Losses, Voltage, Binary particle Swarm Optimization]]>
