Intelligent Load Balancing Using Spacer and Datalogger-Controlled Junction Box for Reducing Loss in Smart Distribution Grids

One of the very important methods since the advent of the electric power industry is the balancing of loads of the distribution posts, and its importance and necessity is rising on a daily basis. In doing so, traditional techniques are currently adopted where the balancing team visits the location of the posts and measures loads from external feeders of the distribution post at the peak of the load. Then, in case there exists unbalance in the post, they list it in their balancing agenda. But in the presented method, current measurement information is sent to the spacer and junction box by means of dataloggers of distribution frames via an information control circuit. Phase shift command will be sent to the respective electronic circuit and SSR after processing and the grid is automatically balanced in the shortest period of time. This makes for the balancing of the phases and the minimization of the null wire current. In addition to grid loss reduction, there will be no technician team costs who should carry out the load balancing.
