Claim:
1. An apparatus for minimizing distribution loss, the apparatus reconfiguring a system configuration of a distribution system while considering section load characteristics of different distribution systems, the apparatus comprising: a calculation period selection unit configured to determine a loss calculation period for detecting a loss minimization time point using the different distribution systems; a total loss value calculation unit configured to calculate a total loss value by calculating loss values of the different distribution systems set for respective time points of the loss calculation period; and a loss minimization solution determination unit configured to select each of the different distribution systems once during the loss calculation period, and to calculate a specific system configuration loss value of each of the distribution systems while considering variations in section load of the selected distribution system, wherein the loss minimization solution determination unit determines the loss minimization time point using the specific system configuration loss values of the distribution systems and the total loss value, and wherein the loss minimization solution determination unit selects a specific system configuration loss value that belongs to the specific system configuration loss values and is closest to the total loss value of the distribution system, and determines a time point, at which a distribution system corresponding to the closest specific s stem configuration loss value during the loss calculation period has been set, to be the loss minimization time point.
