This paper presents an algorithm for reconfiguration of Electrical Distribution Systems in order to minimize energy losses considering different load levels. This problem is considered as mixed integer non linear programming, in which a continuous function is used to handle the discrete variables. As consequence, the proposed model is solved using a step by step approach where the primal-dual interior point technique is solved at each step. The Lagrange multiplies are used to evaluate the sensitivity index for the reconfiguration process. The developed algorithm is tested in three systems of the literature.
